This Weekend
Coming Up<=
/a>
On Sunday we were inspired by Pr Ni=
ck
to ‘redeem the time’.
More on this below.&=
nbsp;
We also prayed a blessing over Paul and Cassie McPhee
who have taken on the ministry of young people’s leaders at Chandler Street Church. We look forward to seeing God =
bless
both them and our young people as they perform this important ministry.=
Message: End Times -
Redeem the Time
|
At Chandler Street, Pr Nick remind=
ed us
about some of the signs that will precede the return of Jesus. In particular, the collapse of
financial systems, wars in the Middle Eastern countries and general wor=
ld
unrest. The signs in our =
world
today are clear – we need to be aware of what is happening around
us. What preparations sho=
uld we
be making? We need to mak=
e the
most of every opportunity.

At Souths=
ide,
Pr. Michael
delivered a flying lesson!
176 seconds is the average time that it takes for an untrained p=
ilot
to crash a plane if he flies into cloud. This happens because
the pilot stops trusting his instruments that are telling him the truth,
and instead trusts his senses, overriding what the gauges are
saying. A pilot needs to be trained to believe the gauges over
natural feelings.
God has g=
iven
us gauges in our walk that we trust - prayer, the Word of God, fellowsh=
ip
of the saints, prayer and fasting, serving others, love for one
another. We need to examine ourselves regularly by checking our
gauges - and trust in God to bring us through any difficulty. =

We were reminded in the spiritual g=
ifts
that we are like the acacia wood poles that were used to build the
Tabernacle. Just as acaci=
a wood
is hard to work with, we too can be difficult and unyielding yet God co=
vers
our ugliness with golden righteousness.
Sometimes we can forget that God is
continuing to work with us. We
impatiently look at our failures and bring ourselves under condemnation
because we aren’t who we expect ourselves to be.
Take time this week to reflect on w=
hat
Paul had to say to the Philippians:
“And I am convinc=
ed
and sure of this very thing, that He who beg=
an a
good work in you will continue until the day of Jesus Christ [right up =
to
the time of His return], developing [that good work] and perfecting and
bringing it to full completion in you.”
