Peace

At our Sunday service Graeme Elliott spoke on Peace. Key verse: Isaiah Ch. 26 v.3, other readings from Mark Ch. 4 and Colossians Ch. 1.
In a world where there is no peace God promises peace to those who trust in Him and believe in His Son Jesus Christ; Jesus represents God to us in human form. We read in Mark Ch. 4 of Jesus with his followers in a storm. They are very afraid and look to Jesus for help, Jesus commands the wind to stop and calms the waves, and asks a searching question "Why are you so fearful. Why is it that you no faith?" Without faith the Bible tells us it is impossible to please God.
Jesus provides peace for us through the blood of His cross (Colossains Ch. 1). He died that we might know peace, everlasting peace with Him.

Sunday 22nd May 2011

Last Sunday we were pleased to have two visitors, Mr and Mrs G. Clarke from Rugby.

Richard Gibson from Leeds spoke at the Sunday gospel service. He works with Christian Witness to Israel. He spoke from Mark chapter 14 verses 12-51 concerning the last supper Jesus had with his disciples before His crucifixion. Richard gave a practical application about our attitude towards Jesus and the rewards and difficulties of living for Him. A challenge was given to the congregation about the particular need to reach Jewish people with the gospel since the gospel is to the Jew first and then to the Gentile.

Phillips last Sunday with us very sad but we wish him Gods richest blessings for the future

Fear not tomorrow - God is already there!

Malcolm Neate of Leeds proclaimed the Gospel on Sunday 8th May using verses from the Epistle to the Hebrews 9 24 -28 and ch. 10 11-14. He spoke of the self-sacrifice of the Lord at Calvary as a sacrifice available, uniquely suitable, and acceptable. He described the Saviour as great in creatorial Power, eternally with God and great in saving commitment. Those attending were urged to flee from the wrath to come.

On Sunday 15th May John Farnsworth of South Elmsall led our meeting and focused on the question"...what is your life.." that is contained in a short passage from the Epistle of James, ch. 4 13-17. He also read out to us an account of the background to the writing and popularisation of the hymn "Great is thy faithfulness...".

We thank these Brethren for their effort in sharing the Gospel here in Scarborough.

Three meetings

On Good Friday Graham Elliot of our own assembly led our meeting, speaking from
John 19 1-42. He spoke of the Person, the Purpose and the Power of the Cross and also referenced Hebrews 10 12, 2 Corinthians 5 17,19, 1 Peter 1 18, Isaiah 53 4 and Romans 10 9.

On Easter Sunday Malcolm Blanche of Wetherby conducted our Gospel Meeting. The reading was from Acts 17 1-9. He spoke of our Lord Jesus: the forgotten King, the foretold King, the future/forever King, the rejected King but, praise the Lord, the Risen King and yet more, the Returning King!

Last Lord's Day in the evening David Harris of Castleford ministered to us from James 4 7-10 reminding us of the cure for "wordliness".
