In our final talk on our series on money and possessions, we will be hearing what God has to teach us through his Apostles in the New Testament epistles. What is the right attitude to possessions? How might we worship money? How did Jesus’ disciples demonstrate contentment with what God had given them? Please read 2 Corinthians 9 or Philippians 4:10-20 in preparation.

From Sunday 15th – Sunday 22nd May, a team of Moore Theological College students will be joining us for the week to assist us in proclaiming Jesus throughout our community. On both Sundays we will have Moore College students opening God’s Word with us, showing us that Jesus Christ is the Lord of this creation. Our FIVE gathering is an ideal opportunity for people to see what we do and hear what we believe.

This Sunday we will have postcards to give to your non-Christian friends with all the details about the events. There will also be the bundles to be spread throughout Northmead and Winston Hills. Please consider taking a few bundles to place them in letterboxes around your neighbourhood.

FIVE Reading Listening List

At the end of May we will be starting a series looking at the Old Testament book of 2 Samuel. Until the 15th Century, 1 & 2 Samuel were one volume. The narratives are fascinating, giving us insight into how God’s promises to the Patriarchs were being fulfilled through his Christ, King David. Consequently, I am recommending you read both these OT books together over the month of May in preparation for this series. A great way to read these stories is to listen to them as you follow in your Bible. Many online Bible sites, The Bible Gateway for example, have small audio icons at the top of the bible passages, that will read the passage to you when clicked.
