I wonder what sort of week you had this week? Did it bring it’s share of stresses and challenges? I also wonder what difference it would have made if you held the Gospel truth at the forefront of your mind. As the old song says, “Take it to the Lord in prayer”. It will certainly help.
Thank you for joining us for what is an unusual way of “doing” church. We trust that the online service offered here will truly bless you, and that after this virus has passed, you will be able to join us as we resume our normal services and activities. In spite of what is going on at the moment, this is a time for personal growth and getting closer to God, and so our prayer is that you and your family will know Him and His great peace, in all things. This week Clive Bennett, who is one of our members, is talking on the important subject of “Submitting yourself to God” from James 4:1-10.
“If we died with him, we will also live with him.
If we endure, we will also reign with him.
If we disown him, he will also disown us.
If we are faithless, he remains faithful,
for he cannot disown himself”.
2 Timothy 2:11-13:

Here’s a challenging though for the weekend. “Do whatever God has told you to do.”
Have you ever been so exasperated that you said, “Enough is Enough!” I guess we all been there at some time or another. Well in today’s message, we find that Martin Luther, the Apostle Paul and James, the brother of Jesus, all reached that point at least once in their lives when they encountered false teaching of scripture. I believe that we all have something to learn from each one of these people that is relevant for us today. It’s good to be able to share my thoughts with you, even though we can’t meet face to face. Every blessing, Derek
May the God of endurance and encouragement grant you to live in such harmony with one another, in accord with Christ Jesus, that together you may with one voice glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Romans 15:5-6

‘…those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.’ Isaiah 40v31
Have you ever felt, “I have really messed up this time. I am absolutely useless. God will not want anything to do with me now!?” Maybe you feel like that now. In which case I listen to what God is saying to you right now, “I am with you and will watch over you wherever you go … I will not leave you until I have done what I have promised you (Genesis 28:15). Good news indeed.
