Don't let anyone look down on you because you are young! By phil longfoot

Don't let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith and in purity. 1 Timothy 4:12 NIV


My name is Phil and i go to Northfield. I volunteer each year with Merseyside Christian Youth Camps www.mcyc.co.uk 


We are blessed at Northfield with people of all ages and the young people have always been a blessing to us and we have always encouraged them to play their part.


It was my 20th year of being a group leader at MCYC camps and each year I have seen young people grow over the years from 9 year old children to become church leaders/Sunday school teachers/group leaders at MCYC. 


Last week at MCYC I was at the 15-17 year old camp and the young people were on a trip to Llandudno in North Wales. They had been taking part in Bible studies and worship times all week. We provided fish and chips for them on the West Shore of LLandudno. The worship leader had a guitar and said to the campers that there would be a chance for a worship time in the open. The campers looked nervous a first but once the song "My lighthouse" by Rend Collective they really went for it including actions.


The young people were inspiring. It was great in an age where people are labelled at troublemakers etc 110 young people who want to serve the Lord and serve others can stand in the middle of a promenade and worship Jesus. Check out the video. They were inspirational  


Let us always pray for our young people and encourage them and may the Lord be their lighthouse throughout their lives.

a thought for easter.

4/16/2014

Easter has fast become a time of year that we look forward to for a number of reasons. A few days off work, sales in the shops and of course the oodles of chocolate that we feast on over the break. But how much are we truly thrilled by Easter. When we’re back in work, the sales are over and the chocolate’s run out, what is there left to celebrate? A recent survey showed that a quarter of children think easter is about the easter bunny with 53% not knowing what easter is about at all.  A holiday that once was the focal point of the Christian calendar has become part of the furniture. Once what stirred our souls has become boring. So what’s the big deal. Well if we really understand the real of meaning of easter, it really changes everything.

This Easter, lets remind ourselves of why this weekend is so incredible....


Through Jesus resurrection we can have eternal hope...

1 Peter 1:3: “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! According to his great mercy, he has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead.”


Through Jesus resurrection we can be justified before the Father...

Romans 4:25: “He was delivered up for our trespasses and raised for our justification.”


Through Jesus resurrection we can have forgiveness of sins...

Acts 5:31: “God exalted him at his right hand as Leader and Savior, to give repentance to Israel and forgiveness of sins.”


Jesus resurrection is the fulfillment of promises that came before...

1 Corinthians 15:4: “He was raised on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures.”


Through Jesus resurrection we can have a personal relationship with God for all eternity....

Matthew 28:20: “Behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”

This Easter, lets be stunned again by the salvation, hope and power that can be yours through Jesus’ death and resurrection!

Wow, it’s the end of 2013, it seems to have gone so quickly, so let us reflect on all the things God has done in the life of Northfield Community Church throughout this last year.  We have seen new life coming into the Church fellowship, due to C.A.P clients who have given their hearts to Jesus and are seeing their lives change. We saw more children being added to the Church in 2013, and seeing young people coming as well. Our prayer meeting began to grow, and we continue to pray for many others to come and join us in spending time with God. Our 40 days of Prayer and Fasting was a challenge to us all, and we are aware that God has a real future for us as a Church, to reach out to our Community bringing the message of Hope and Love.  2014 has more challenges for us, and we must be ready to step out in Faith to do what God has planned for us. Bootle is our community, and we intend to plant the seeds of New Life in this Town.  Let all of us who Love and Honour our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, reach out to others who are in need, and to share what Jesus has for us all.  

Jesus said  “ I have come that you might have Life, and Life in it’s Abundance”
