Welcome

Thank you for joining us for what is an unusual way of “doing” church.

Welcome

Welcome to our Sunday worship service as we reach the 4th and final episode in our mini-series “Hidden Heroes from the BIble”. Today we will be looking at Enoch, one of only two people who lived before the flood of whom it is said the he “Walked with God.” The other being his great grandson, Noah. We can learn much about our own walk with God through Enoch’s life especially as we continue in this period of semi-isolation from each other but never from God.

Worship song – Open the eyes of my heart Lord

Now to him who is able to keep you from stumbling and to present you blameless before the presence of his glory with great joy, to the only God, our Saviour, through Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory, majesty, dominion, and authority, before all time and now and forever. Amen. Jude 24-25.

After the debacle in the A level results, aren’t you glad God doesn’t grade us using an algorithm to see if we are “worthy” of saving?
We deserve nothing from God but judgment, but in His grace, He offers mercy and full pardon to the one who trusts in the shed blood of Jesus Christ to wash himself clean.
Never forget that salvation and everything that we have comes from God as a free gift by His grace. Hallelujah.

The weather over the last few days has changed dramatically as we have moved from wall to wall sunshine to an overcast sky. The rather dark morning today reminds me that we are meant to be light – whatever the weather. For in Ephesians 5:8 we are reminded that “For you were once darkness, but now you are the light in the Lord. Live as children of light.” So this weekend, why not really try to bring the light into your neighbourhood.
