From the Romans 12 Bible study we saw that worship can be gospel-driven tea serving or toilet cleaning.

Fidel kicked off preaching through 2 Timothy with a wonderful reminder of the gospel:

• An unpopular message we might well be ashamed of and will need to suffer for (and that’s what the spiritual power is for – suffering) – v8
• God saved us, not at all by our works but purely by his purpose and grace (v9)
• He purposed to save us before time began – v9
• All this is IN CHRIST – v9-10
• Our salvation was manifest and accomplished through the coming of Jesus who destroyed death and brought life through the Cross – v10
• It is about immortality – v10 – that’s why Paul can talk about the ‘promise of life’ (v1) when he’s about to die (4:6)
• It’s a message – heralded, sent, taught – v11

We did a ‘How To’ on introducing a speaker.

Harrison introduced doctrine and particularly the doctrine of Scripture, warning us of a creeping liberalism.

And Mrs Mercy Eunyalata gave a hugely helpful Call to Faithful Children’s Ministry.
