Along with Methodists worldwide, we at North Rand, had our Covenant Services on Sunday.
Essentially we commit/recommit ourselves to the Lord and His service.
Making covenant, however, will be meaningless unless we understand three basic principles:
1. The Christan faith centres on the Cross of Christ.
2. The Kingdom of God resides in the hearts of people.
3. The kingdom of God needs to reach to the ends of the earth.
Right so what does that mean?
Our invitation to the kingdom is founded in Christ's sacrifice on the Cross. When we respond to His invitation, our hearts are changed and we live for Him. We are called then to take this invitation to others until the world hears the message.Awesome!
Perhaps you want to renew your commitment?
Please pray with us:
Dear Jesus, thank you for making me and loving me, even when I have ignored you and gone my own way.I have tried to run my own life and realise I need you. I'm sorry for my sins. I ask you to forgive me. Thank you for dying on the Cross for me. Please help me to understand it more. As much as I know now, I want to follow you from now on. Please come into my life and make me a new person inside. I accept your gift of salvation. Please help me to grow as a Christan. Amen.
