Sunday
9AM: Our focus will be on the second petition; 'Your Kingdom come'.
Wherever people love and worship God, there the Kingdom has already come. But that Kingdom is far from complete, and it is only when Christ returns that God will be 'all in all'.
In the meantime, God's people are to be fully involved in extending that Kingdom, for the evil one, the devil, is still wielding much power. Our prayers are a powerful weapon in that struggle, but more than prayer is asked of Kingdom workers. To pray 'Your Kingdom come' requires our full involvement. No one can pray this petition and at the same time remain a fence-sitter!
5PM: Jesus & The Untouchables
Christian ministry among the sick and have always been powerful pointers to the Kingdom of God. No small wonder: it's exactly what we see Jesus doing in his ministry. The big question is: what does it mean for us? [I have changed untouchables to rejects, because this will communicate more accurately the experience of the leper in his [lack of] community].
Free Sausage Sizzle - 3 December
On the 3 December everyone is welcome to stay behind after the morning service for a sausage sizzle.
Prayer
- Please pray for continued healing and recovery for Clinton Berends. He's recovering from his surgery last Tuesday and has an appointment with the specialist next week. The picture may be a little clearer then as to how they will move ahead. Give thanks to our all powerful God, asking for him to intervene in this situation, and also that our hearts will be humbled as we rely on him
- Pastor Keith has to fly to Geelong Sunday afternoon to conduct the funeral of a friend, Gary Ekkel. Please pray for for Keith and Emmy in what has now become an even busier weekend. Ask also that Keith's ministry can bring the comfort of the Gospel to those in grief
- Remember the Hotel Chaplains, on the last few days of their ministry on the Gold Coast. It's been a big week, some working into the early hours of the morning and then working a full day back n Brisbane, only to return later after some snatched sleep for more Chaplaincy ministry. Give thanks for servant attitudes, pray for safety, and continued opportunity for the Gospel
