Meetings today

We were greatly blessed this morning as we met to remember the Lord and especially the depth and breadth of His Love towards us.

This evening our Gospel Meeting was led by Rob Mitchell of Leeds City Mission. He spoke about the importance of prayer in the process of mission and spoke from Matthew 13 1-9, the Parable of the Sower and noted its primary application to believers. There has to be a Sower before there can be fruit! When the Lord selects His disciples He initiates the relationship with a call, "Follow Me".

Rob reminded us of three of the Lord's commands: to pray to the Lord of the harvest (Matt. 9 38), to make disciples of all nations (Matt. 28 19) and to love one another (John 15 12). Thank you to our Brother Rob for an interesting and challenging presentation.

Gospel Meetings

On Sunday 6th September Craig Maffey of Leeds presented a clear message using the theme "past, present and future". He made use of the following texts: Acts 7 28&29a, Hebrews 3 15-19 and 4 4, James 4 13-15 and Hebrews 13 8. We were reminded that sin will be exposed - Romans 2 16 and that the believer in the Lord Jesus is promised Salvation John 5 24.

On Sunday 13th September John Frankish of Normanton led our Gospel Meeting. The theme was the opposed pair of "Wisdom" and "Foolishness". He opened the meeting with a reading of Psalm 127. The main text explored was 1 Corinthians 1 18-25. We were reminded that the Gospel message does not appeal to human reason [see ibid chapter2 6 ff] and that God works out His purposes according to His own design. In conclusion John referred to Psalm 14 1 and Psalm 111 10.

At the Breaking of Bread meeting this morning we were joined by John and Jill Grove of Blackburn , Scotland.
