23 June – Who is God really? Father Almighty Creator
Isaiah 40:28-31; Psalm 104:24-31; 1 John 3:1-3; Luke 15:11-32

1 Kings 19:15-21; Psalm 16; Galatians 5:1, 13-25; Luke 9:51-62
Everyday Faith
This week we look at the First Part of our series Who is God, really? We are
diving deeper into the idea that God is both the Almighty Creator of
everything and also our loving Heavenly Father. One way to understand this
is God has both a big picture focus and at the same times is also interested in
us personally. When we have both of these understandings of God on our
mind, it affects dramatically our relationship with God. Every time we pray,
every time we engage with Him through His Word, every time we wait for
God to help us see His answers, we can be sure that God has not only the
power to do what is needed, but also will do what is best for us and others.
And if God is our loving heavenly Father and we are His children, as 1 John 3
states, when we take notice of who God is and how He goes about life, we
will reflect God and His love as we live, so others will experience Him
through us. Take some time this week to think about what it means for God
to be the Almighty Creator, who is also Your loving Heavenly Father.

Prayer Perspective
Our prayers may be awkward. Our attempts may be feeble. But since the
power of prayer is in the one who hears it and not in the one who says it,
our prayers do make a difference. Max Lucado

New Logo for St Paul’s Sydney Lutheran Church
We have a new logo to assist us in our identity as St Paul’s Sydney Lutheran
Church. The logo highlights that our focus is being Christ’s church in
Sydney. The colours red and blue were chosen to connect to the LCA’s
logo, which uses the same colours. We will also be using the name St
Paul’s Sydney Lutheran Church, rather than St Paul’s Lutheran Church
Sydney as it assists people in finding us in internet searches.
