Dr. Barclay - Something to think about - Walking With God

Genesis 3:8 And they heard the voice of the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God amongst the trees of the garden.

God came down to walk with man, during the time of Adam and Eve. Then after sin entered the world that had all stopped.

Habakkuk 1:13 You are of purer eyes than to behold evil,
And cannot look on wickedness.

The bible states God cannot look on sin. What if everyone on earth followed just one of God’s commandments. What a difference it would make, if no one bore false witness, thus no cheating and no bullying. Salvation in Christ is the only way God recognizes us and then we can walk together with him, once we surrender our lives to him and walk in obedience to him. That is the only way we can walk together with him, when we are in full surrender to him.

Roxann Spicer - Message      Faith = Trust

We cannot let ourselves forget that God is all powerful and sovereign. We must remember that he is God and give him the glory, honour, respect and reverence he is due.

Ephesians 2:8 For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, 9 not of works, lest anyone should boast.

The passage above puts us all on a level field, no one can boast that they are any better than an other. If we follow the ways of the world and perusing the desires of the flesh, than we are being obedient to Satan himself. God calls us to live by our spiritual being, not our natural being. In the Christian walk we continuously battle against the ways and thought pattern of the flesh.

 All the knowledge in the world amounts to nothing if we do not have love for people. Once we submit our lives to Christ, all God’s promises in the bible belong to us. We can wholly trust that God will meet and provide for our needs. We can fully trust Christ, we do not have to live under fear, depression and stress. We need not worry about the world’s time table. We need to trust God with our lives, his timing is perfect and will always be what is best for us.

Habakkuk 2:4 But the just shall live by his faith.

 We need to change our way of thinking and not look to this world as our source. God is our source he is what makes life possible.

Birdsong!

Roxann Spicer

Message: When we submit to Christ, the cross makes us flawless.

The Holy Spirit lives in all of us and he is waiting on us. He is waiting with the power to help us overcome the obstacles in our life. He is simply waiting for us to ask him for his help. God is not so much concerned with our circumstances, as he is with our heart and mind. If our prayers do not seem to change the problems around us. We need to let him deal with the root; our heart, our mind and our attitude, then the circumstances will fall into place.

It is never too late with God, to deal with pride and insecurity. The sooner we cry out to God for his help the better it will be for us. When we let the Holy Spirit deal with all our flaws, it breaks the chains that hold us down and we are able to move forward living as conquerors.

Ephesians 3:16-19

16 that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with might through His Spirit in the inner man,

17 that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love,

18 may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and height—

19 to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.

Sunday Night Service Notes

Dr. Spencer Barclay-Something to Think About

Theme: Power In The Blood

We cannot take communion unworthily. We must be sincere with God and have a clean heart. In the various religions of the world people continuously sacrifice something to appease their gods. Christianity is the only religion where the sacrifice has been made for us once and for all. The blood of Jesus has the power to redeem us and secure our salvation forevermore. There is no other way to take care of our sin problem and it’s penalty except through the blood of Jesus and accepting him as Lord.

Hebrews 9:22 And according to the law almost all things are purified with blood, and without shedding of blood there is no remission.

Revelation 12:11 And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.

Pastor Caroline – Message entitled “However”

We cannot be everything to everyone all the time. God wants us to focus on one job at a time. If we are worn out and burnt out we cannot serve God effectively. Everyone in the body of Christ is called to do their own unique job. We must all work together happily serving Christ, together in unity. God wants us to be content and understand we cannot do everything own our own.

Pastor Caroline is infectious about loving Jesus and wants to tell everyone about him.She will continue to do her pastoral duties wholeheartedly, however she is happy to share many jobs with the congregation.

Sometimes God wants us to slow down and not be so busy in ministry, to focus on matters close at hand, like our family.

Psalm 46:10

Be still, and know that I am God;
I will be exalted among the nations,
I will be exalted in the earth!

God wants us to rest in him and focus on his goodness. God will put everything into place and work things out according to his will, he wants us to be at rest and not stressed. We cannot take on too much and be in the way of others being a blessing. The Holy Spirit is the one that fills the church and not an individual human and God is to receive all the glory never ourselves.
