Why do our churches today struggle to impact our communities in the way the church in Acts impacted Jerusalem? Is it because our priorities are wrong? In Acts the church prioritised Jesus, trust in God and the truth. #portstewartpresbyterian #presbyterianireland #portstewart #acts
Is the church struggling to have an impact on the world because Jesus has been removed from the centre and prayer from the heart of the church? #portstewart #presbyterianireland #acts #PortstewartPresbyterian
What do we see when we look at Jesus. The gospels tell us of a man filled with compassion, love, integrity someone uncompromising in his beliefs. Isaiah the prophet tells of us a man who has nothing desirable about him, someone who causes people to turn away, someone numbered among the transgressors. How can both these statements be true. This Good Friday we explore who we see when we look at Jesus.
When Jesus said, you believe in God; believe also in me (John 14:1) he was asking us what god do you believe in?
Where is our hope? Is our hope of heaven found in Jesus. Why do we believe we are going to heaven? Is it because we have believed in Jesus. If we believe in Jesus then our hope is not for something that comes after death, our hope is lived out today. If we believe in Jesus, then we will live for him today. He will be the centre of our lives today.
