GOSPEL MEETING 26/08/2012

Phillip Richardson from Harrogate read Mark 1 vs.14-18.
He referred to 5 points;
The Message.
1/ He preached despite adversity.
2/He preached the gospel of the Kingdom of God.

3/Repent.

The Effect.
4/The response.
5/Immediate action.
The Gospel is good news in relation to a battle that has been won, when we are saved we have a new ruler in our lives to whomn we are accountable and to whomn we are subject.

Repentance is not just feeling guilty and sorry but a deep consideration about our guilt before God and a complete turn around a change of allegiance.
We should repent and believe then that leads to forgiveness and a change of life, we were created to please God and the amazing thing is when we are saved we can live our lives to please God.

Sunday 19th August 2012

John Walls from the fellowship spoke. He read Romans Ch. 1 and verse 16: For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes..." There are three reasons why Paul was not ashamed of the gospel. 1) It was the gospel of Christ, the Lord Jesus Christ. He is God's Son and came to die for us, taking on humanity but also being fully God. He is also the Creator of the world and the one whom the Bible tells us all fullness dwells. 2) It is the power of God to salvation. God's power in salvation brings a person from death to  life, from darkness to light and makes them a new creation in Christ. Through faith we can experience God's power. 3) It is a message that is universal, it is for everyone who believes. It is not limited in anyway but only requires belief in the hearer to be effective.
Through faith we can believe the gospel and know forgiveness and deliverance from our sins and experience God's power in our own lives.

Gospel Meeting 12/08/2012

Neil Bedford from Leeds read Psalm51 vs.1-12
He spoke about David's serious premeditated sin and his genuine repentance.
We too must recognise and accept that we are sinners without blaming circumstances or other people.
We must have a change of heart and mind and come to God confessing our sin and in genuine repentance.
Jesus died on the cross and shed His precious blood, He bore the judgement of God for our sin we have to repent and believe then we will be saved and forgiven and start a new life of joy,satisfaction and fulfilment.

Sunday 5th August

Gareth Crossley (Blackbrook) spoke. He read Ch. 1 John 1 vs 1 - Ch. 2 v.2 and Proverbs 28 v. 13. The verse in Proverbs says, 'He that covers his sins shall not prosper but whosoever confesses and forsakes them will have mercy.' We either cover or confess our sins. Covering means denying or hiding the wrong that we do. Confessing is the opposite and means being open and transparent before God about our wrong doing and asking his forgiveness. The person who confesses should also 'forsake' his sins, that means not returning to them and getting completely rid of them. The verse tells us that those who confess and forsake receive mercy. Do you want to receive mercy? Confess your sins and repent, turn the other way, and believe in Jesus.
