This Sunday
AM:The antichrist – should we be worried? In a few places in Scripture we have reference to a shadowy figure called ‘the antichrist’ or ‘the man of lawlessness.’ The fleeting references, combined with the destruction he is associated with have lead to all sorts of theories of who this man / creature is, and what he is on about, and how much we should be concerned with him. When Paul makes mention of him in 2 Thessalonians he does so in a way that discusses his reality, but firmly places him under the reign and conquest of Jesus Christ, giving us a firm assurance that when he is revealed, Christians need not fear his power or influence. For more, come along Sunday morning.
PM: Your next 'Australian Idol’: No-one can doubt its popularity, but has anyone noticed how flippantly we use the word ‘idol’ these days? Tonight we’ll look back at what God told Moses and the Israelites about idols and how the Israelites reacted when Moses was taking his time on Mt Sinai. We’ll answer some questions about what all this has to do with Jesus and our very own ‘Australian Idols’ of today.
What's your story?
Last Sunday night no one could have doubted the power of testimony. Listening to how the Lord had worked in a person's life to bring hope and grace was wonderfully encouraging. It reminded us that God is the Lord who works extraordinary things in the lives of ordinary people.
Maybe you have a story you'd like to share one day. Something that clearly focuses on God, on how he works to make an eternal difference through his Son in people's lives. Why not send it through to dave@redlandscrc.org.au - and some time there may be an opportunity for you to share it. Go on! We'd love to hear from you!
