Phillip Hastings of United Beach Missions spoke about the ongoing work and requested prayer for the work at Carbis Bay, St Ives, Falmouth and Llandudno. We read Nehemiah 1 - 28 and were challenged: do we care (about Gospel Outreach), who are we praying to and what are we asking for?

Stuart Gordon of Harrogate brought a Gospel Message using the passage, John's Gospel 10 1-9. A "Door" can be a place of safety Genesis 7 16, a place of escape Exodus 12, or a way of entrance Revelation 3 20.
Hannah Jones is due to give birth to her second child at the weekend. We are praying for a safe delivery and a healthy baby. Praise God!

Sunday at the Hall
Peter Jones remains unwell and we are praying that he is soon better. It was good to see Graham back in action today.
This evening Neil Bedford of Leeds conducted our Gospel meeting and spoke from Matthew 11 1-15. There were many interesting points especially a distinction drawn between doubt, a questioning that may lead to a deeper more thought-through faith and unbelief.
John the Baptist had an inadequate understanding of the Lord's ministry and we were challenged to jettison any false ideas we might have about the Saviour. Again there were a few children in the meeting who listened well.
On Tuesday (D.V.) we will be considering the first three verses of the Letter to the Hebrews.

On the First Day of the Week: At our Gospel Meeting on Sunday 11th October we were much Blessed by a message from our Brother Jonathan Gibson of Harrogate and by the attendance of a number of children who are known to the meeting through the work with local children that goes on during the week.
Jonathan outlined briefly six blessings that come to us when we trust in the Saviour: Peace, Grace, Hope, Love, Deliverance and Joy. He supported what he said from The Scriptures at Romans chapter 5.
Peter Jones was unable to attend meetings on the Lord's day due to feeling unwell; Graham continues to take time out to rest and find some easing of the discomfort he experiences due to a back injury. We pray that these two Brethren will be fully restored according to the Lord's Will.
It is encouraging to know that there are Saints who take time to read these postings - it would be even more encouraging to get online feedback! Just click where it says "comment" and write something to appear on the "blog" [Weblog]. It is intended to be a diary of our collective experience. Please contribute.

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.

Missionary Friends
On Sunday 2nd August we were blessed by a visit from our missionary friends Jack and Isa Douglas. They gave a full report of their recent time in Papua New Guinea where they had visited the communities in which they had worked during their 37 year service. They were much encouraged to see the work which they had begun continuing to develop and to see the profound changes that the Gospel had made in the lives of the believers there.
Whilst there Jack led a study of the book of Hebrews that was attended by over 200 believers. He was also able to deliver a radio with batteries and a solar panel. They witnessed the baptism of about 40 believers and noted that the Gospel had spread mostly among the more peripheral groups within the society but hoped that in due course the groups of believers would begin to make an impact on Papua New Guinea as a whole.
They hope to return again later this year to lead a study of John’s Gospel. Meanwhile they continue to be involved at the NTM training centre at North Cotes, Lincolnshire. Jack led us in the preaching of the Gospel during the evening meeting.
