Today’s service came to you courtesy of Pam, Viv and Tel!
We joined the Baptist Assembly in a prayer across the country at 11:05.
Viv Neville brought us the message from John 14: 1 to 14
The disciples are anxious, confused and afraid. They’ve been with him for three years but they still need reassurance. Jesus tells them here to not be overcome with fear and to trust in Him. He gives them troubling news but is comforting them.
Viv shares that we’ve all been scared at times. The Lord is telling us to take one day at a time. We don’t really know what is coming, so just get through today.
We only have this moment in time.
Jesus is reassuring the disciples and us there is eternal life for us and that a place has prepared a place and an eternal future for us.
Faith in God does not remove trouble.
Jesus goes on to say his is the way the truth and the light. Thomas asks and is told. Jesus is the way to god and salvation.
Jesus is the truth and don’t we need this at the moment.
People are searching for truth but a lot are looking in the wrong places.
Philip asked Jesus to show them the Father, and Jesus asked “Don’t You know Me?” They had been with him for a long time.
Viv asked for three volunteers, She offered them the names, Ice water and stream. Three different forms of the same thing. The trinity is the same.
To know what God is like, we simply need to look at Jesus.
Compassion, holiness, mercy, justice and love. Jesus was missioning us to take the Gospel to our corner of the world.
The disciples and all who came to believe. They took the message to the wider world.
I can only imagine as a song went world while with 5 million downloads. Yet its author wrote it in 10 minutes.
Viv shared the work she has done with the Orb. Setting up a Facebook page results in thousands of views.
2.6 billion or 31.7% of the world identify as Christians worldwide. Don’t hide your light, keep an ear in heaven and the other on earth.
Trust in God in uncertainty. We are called to continue the mission wherever we are.
