July 2007


Bishop Ivan LeeOn Sunday 5th August at 9:30am, you’re invited to join us for this year’s Confirmation Service.

There’ll just be one church gathering that day – at 9:30 – so that everyone can be there to support the young people who are publicly committing their lives to Jesus.

Our regional Bishop, Ivan Lee, (pictured) will be with us for the service.

The Bible doesn’t beat around the bush, but tells it like it is.

In Ephesians chapter 2, Paul reminds his readers that, as Gentiles, they used to be “strangers to the covenants of promise, having no hope and without God in the world”.
 
That is, as Gentiles, they were far from God. They had no hope for the future – no hope of heaven – no hope of forgiveness. They were strangers to God.
 
So, how can anyone – especially a Gentile – be set right with God? How can you?
 
This Sunday, we turn to Acts 10 and hear what happens when Peter learns the wonderful news that even the Gentiles can be set right with God through Jesus. You’re invited to join us at 9:30am this Sunday, July 29th. All welcome.

Thomas Kuhn, in his 1962 book ‘The Structure of Scientific Revolutions,’ coined the term ‘Paradigm shift’.

He was talking about what happens when your understanding of how things work (in his case, scientific theories) is revolutionised.

In Acts chapter 9, this Sunday, we read of a young man – Saul – who experiences what we might call a paradigm shift. He had been vehemently opposed to Jesus and his followers. But something happened on the road to Damascus that changed everything for him. His world was turned upside down.

We hope you can join us - at 8:00am or 9:30am on Sunday morning to hear what happened.

In Acts chapter 8, we see the activity of the first followers of Jesus as they are given unique opportunities to share the gospel.

Join us on Sunday morning as we follow the action – and as we see examples of both true faith and counterfeit faith. All welcome.
