Word and action

On Sunday we spoke about Jesus in the synagogue teaching and healing in Luke 4:31-37.

A couple of things emerged:

- Jesus has great insight into the Word

- He immediately turns the Word into action

- The people were amazed at this

The world will not change by us studying the Word only, the Word must become action.

For example: if we only talk about Jesus to each other, the lost, broken and needy will not be helped, saved or transformed.

Makes you think?

Jesus

We had the pleasure and privilege to have Peter Pollock with us on Saturday & Sunday.


Some know him from cricket and others as an evangelist. It's amazing how God uses people!





Peter's message was simple and clear:

Do you know Jesus as Lord and Saviour?

It's a profound question. Think about it.

Some know about Him.
Some think they know Him.

The acid test is this: Is He the most important thing in your life right now?

As Peter says: God simply wants our all.

My prayer is that you give God your all by accepting Jesus into your life - right now!

Love

On Sunday we shared around Paul's letter - Romans 12:9-21

He is teaching on love.

No, not the Daniele Steele kind of love, rather a deep commitment to see those we love have the very best that life can offer, sometimes at great cost to ourselves.

If we love in this way:

- We need to be sincere

False love and ulterior motives destroys people's hope

- We need to be zealous:

As Christians we must never have the been-there/done-that attitude

- We need to be hospitable:

By really caring for others, we put then first

Quite a challenge!
