CHURCH @ HOME

1 Thessalonians 5:18 - Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you. Philippians 4:6 - Do not be anxious about anything but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made know to God. Psalm 107:1 - Oh give thanks to the Lord, for He is good, for His steadfast love endures for ever! Nothing more needs to be said! Pray you are finding reasons to be thankful this week!

What a week we've been through in SA this week! It's reassuring to know that while we have found ourselves wondering what would happen, nothing was a surprise to God! This service was hastily recorded in the few hours notice we had of the 6 day lockdown. We are grateful the we can gather at church today and view it together. Romans 8:31 What then shall we say in response to these thing? If God is for us, who can be against us?

Thanks for joining us again this week to worship the Lord together and to be taught again from His word. This week Harry continues his series on 1 Thessalonians. 1 Thess 3:12a May the Lord make you increase and abound in love to one another.

This week James continues his series on Acts. It was a perfect follow up to last week's Vision Sunday with key verses of his message being... ACTS 2:42 - And they devoted themselves to the Apostle's teaching and the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and the prayers AND ACTS 2:44 - And all who believes were together and had all things in common. ... a perfect continuation of our Vision and it's theme of togetherness!

We had our annual Vision Sunday this week. We look back at the year that's been and our elders cast a vision for the coming year. 1 Corinthians 13:13 And now abides faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love.

The service this week was riddled with "tech issues" which ultimately resulted in us having only the sermon to upload today. Harry preached about faith from 1 Thessalonians Chapter 3. The verse we choose to attach tp this upload is... 1 Thess 3:11-13 Now may our God and Father Himself, and our Lord Jesus Christ direct our way to you. And may the Lord make you increase and abound in love to one another and to all, just as we do to you, so that He may establish your hearts blameless in holiness before God our Father at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ with all His saints.

:is Sunday was Operation Christmas Child Shoebox collection day so it features quite significantly in the service. We pray that as these boxes leave us and make their way into hand of children overseas they would bring with them the Good News of the gospel and change lives for eternity. Psalm 96:3 Declare His glory among the nations, His marvelous works among all the peoples!

HEBREWS 13:8 - Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today and forever. What a wonderful truth and something we can hang onto in these unusual times we are living in. Rules may change, how we do things may change but God is unchangeable and we can rely on that! we hope you are having a blessed week and enjoy this Sunday's service

This week's service was small with many members away due to it being school holidays but as the bible says in Matthew 18:20 For where two or three are gathered together in My name, I am there among them.
