Last Sunday was a special night for us as a church as we rejoiced together as nine individuals were baptised. Five women and four men testified powerfully to the life-changing encounter they had had with Jesus Christ and the joy and hope they have in Him today. Two of the candidates even testified how hopelessness and despair had so gripped their lives that they had seriously considered ending their lives before they met Jesus. The transforming power of Christ was evident to all who heard their stories.
The exciting thing for me as I look back on last Sunday evening is to see that Jesus is still changing lives. We have been thrilled on Sunday mornings to read the stories in the book of Acts of “the church on the move” and people being saved, healed and delivered, but let us not miss what God is doing in our midst.
Finally, as we approach Easter lets rejoice and give thanks to our amazing God who loved the world so much that “He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.” May God richly bless you as you worship with us today
