A Word From

John 


Brothers and Sisters, 

This past week marked my second month at Grace Fellowship Church and it also marked the conclusion of the internship. Thank you for your support and your many prayers! One thing I appreciated was learning of the importance of testing all of church life against the Word of God. Whether it is a particular ministry or pastoral counsel, it is constantly stressed that we ought to search the scriptures to see what they have to say. Pastor Paul’s words, “Chapter and verse it or you better reverse it” will forever be imprinted in my mind!

As many of you know, one of my roles as an Assistant Minister at Grace Fellowship Church is to help and support the saints at Park Royal Bible Church, with the possibility of becoming their pastor one day. As I have gotten to know the saints at Park Royal over the course of the last couple months, I have been so thankful for the way the Lord has sustained that church over the past few years. The Lord has taken care of them, and grown them in patience, in love for God’s Word, and in their love for one another. In many conversations, they have also expressed their thanks for the elders and saints of Grace Fellowship Church who have cared for and prayed for them over the past four years. They have a Bible study and prayer meeting every Thursday night, and would like to let you know that any of you are more than welcome to come and visit them when you are able. Please continue to pray for the saints of Park Royal Bible Church. And, if you can, come and join us in Word and prayer some Thursday night. 

Some of my favorite memories over the years have involved church dinners. It is always a joy to see God’s people come together to eat and to fellowship. So please do come to the Fellowship Lunch on Sunday afternoon. We will be eating and taking the Lord’s Supper together. Please sign up here to bring food if you are able! We need lots more main dishes. 

When we sang “There is a Foe, Whose Hidden Power" on Sunday, the last lines stood out to me:

“Oh, Saviour, slay the Self in me, 
By Thy consuming breath;
Show me Thy heart, Thy wounds, Thy shame, 
That Self be put to death.” 

One response to our self-centredness is to ask the Lord Jesus to show us more of himself. Seeing Christ's heart for you and the wounds and shame he endured for you gives you great ammunition in your fight against sin. So this week, pray that you may see more of Jesus! 

In Him,

John
