On 4th April our evening meeting was conducted by Malcolm Blanche of Weatherby. We read from John 2 13-22, Matt. 1238-41 and Exodus 4 1-9. He commented on the place of signs and miracles in the Ministry of the Lord Jesus. He taught on the Resurrection - that it showed the Power of God, it is the finished Work of Christ, that it serves notice on the world of future judgment and at the time of that judgment there will be a separation of believers to His Glorious Presence in Heaven and non-believers to an eternal hell.
On April 11th Alan Green of Harrogate spoke to us of the new life that is available to the believer. These passages of Scripture were read: Romans 10 8-13 and John 20 19-31.
Yesterday 18th April we were blessed by the ministry of Marcus Reid of Selby who was standing in for his father-in-law, Alan Green. We are praying that Alan will quickly recuperate from his recent operation. Marcus preached very clearly on 1 Corinthians 13 explaining the keywords in verse13: "Faith, Hope and Love"
We continue to pray for the full recovery of Iris Benstead and that the Lord will encourage Terry and the family. We also lift up Dianne to the Lord and ask Him to help Billy to support her.

we enjoyed a challenging message from Phillip Martin on Hebrews 11 tonight on practical faith in our lives
ReplyDeleteRe: the renaming of the Jewish exiles(captives)See Daniel 1 6-7 and ff. We always remember Daniel by his Jewish name but his three compatriots by names they were given by the Babylonian court official. This practice of denying the cultural identity of captives by renaming them was repeated in the process of Trans atlantic slavery.
ReplyDeleteHowever the text itself in Daniel ch 3 refers to "Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego" although it there affirms their faith in the God of Israel (v 16-18)and cannot therefore be a deliberate reflection of their apostasy. The record of Holy Scripture is framed as it is for a reason but I do not know what that reason is.
