Welcome!
It is superb to have you with us once again! In this covid-lock-down era, Pastors need to innovate, and I can’t help but of something about old dogs and new tricks. It escapes me! The reality is for the church these days we must choose between innovation or decimation. As believers in Jesus, we get to be creative and web-engaged to reach out to people here and now.
This week, we have endeavored by the grace of God to ‘make the jump’ to a video message. This was partly because of request, and partly because other kids programs in our local library do videos by the famous Mr. (and Councillor) Chris. Some of our church kids who tune into these library program via video online also desired the Sunday Message to come by video. So here it is! Lord willing, it will be better next week! We pray that this proclamation of God’s Word will be for your and our good, as well as God’s glory. God bless you in your day church family…

Scripture Reading
“What shall we say then? Are we to continue in sin that grace may abound? By no means! How can we who died to sin still live in it? Do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? We were buried therefore with him by baptism into death, in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, we too might walk in newness of life.”
Romans 6:1-4

Sermon
“Paul in Ephesus
And it happened that while Apollos was at Corinth, Paul passed through the inland country and came to Ephesus. There he found some disciples. And he said to them, “Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed?” And they said, “No, we have not even heard that there is a Holy Spirit.” And he said, “Into what then were you baptized?” They said, “Into John's baptism.” And Paul said, “John baptized with the baptism of repentance, telling the people to believe in the one who was to come after him, that is, Jesus.” On hearing this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. And when Paul had laid his hands on them, the Holy Spirit came on them, and they began speaking in tongues and prophesying. There were about twelve men in all.
And he entered the synagogue and for three months spoke boldly, reasoning and persuading them about the kingdom of God. But when some became stubborn and continued in unbelief, speaking evil of the Way before the congregation, he withdrew from them and took the disciples with him, reasoning daily in the hall of Tyrannus. This continued for two years, so that all the residents of Asia heard the word of the Lord, both Jews and Greeks.”
Acts 19:1-10
