Jason Stewart from Harrogate led our meeting on Sunday 22nd November and spoke from four texts: Matthew 14 22-33, Matthew 8 1-3, John 14 1-6 and Matthew 29-34. We were reminded of our need to be saved from sin and the great Mercy of God when he witholds the punishment we deserve when we trust in the Lord Jesus as Saviour.
Richard Gibson of Christian Witness to Israel, who is based in Leeds led our meeting on Sunday 29th November. He gave a report of the work of CWI, also of the Leeds Messianic Fellowship of which he is a founder member and of "Yachad" a fellowship for young Messianic Jews. He spoke of the difficulties and challenges involved in witnessing to Jews, in breaking down barriers of suspicion and correcting false ideas and about the work of supporting believing (Messianic) Jews. He asked for prayer for the work in which he is involved and in particular for the salvation of Keren, the wife of a young believer(Matthew).
He gave us a word of encouragement using the passage from Hebrews 10 19-39 reminding us to keep close to God, to maintain the Hope that we have in our salvation, to keep encouraging one another and to continue to meet together. (v 22-25). In this way we can maintain the freshness, vitality, boldness and excitement of our early experience of faith in Yeshua (Jesus).
