[16]For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS 17 DECEMBER 2023 MESSAGE

Haggai 2:8 says all the gold and silver on earth belongs to God. Psalm 50:10 also says that the cattle on a thousand hills belong to God.

This tells us that God owns the entire universe, and He lacks nothing. What then do you think can move such a God? Your genuine love for Him can.

Love can be expressed in different ways; it can be expressed through giving your time, energy. resources, and life.

So, don’t grumble when it’s offering time, rather, do it cheerfully because it’s an opportunity to move God.

When God loves a fellow, everything will move for him/her. Such a fellow will get the best of everything.

This is the reason He gave us His best gift – His son, to reconcile us to Himself. Therefore, reciprocate this love today by showing love to your neighbours, enemies, and friends.

OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS 17 DECEMBER 2023 HYMN

HYMN 4 – ON A HILL FAR AWAY

1. On a hill far away
Stood an old rugged cross,
The emblem of suffering and shame;
And I love that old cross
Where the dearest and best
For a world of lost sinners was slain.

CHORUS
So I’ll cherish the old rugged cross
Till my trophies at last I lay down;
I will cling to the old rugged cross;
And exchange it someday for a crown.

2. Oh, that old rugged cross
So despised by the world,
Has a wondrous attraction for me;
For the dear Lamb of God
Left His glory above,
To bear it to dark Calvary.

3. In the old rugged cross,
Stained with blood so divine,
A wondrous beauty I see;
For ’twas on that old cross
Je-sus suffered and died,
To par -don and sanc-ti-fy me.

4. To the old rugged cross
I will ever be true,
Its shame and reproach gladly bear;
Then He’ll call me some day
To my home far away,
Where His glory for-ever share
