Message from Philip
Greetings in the name of the Lord.
It is a good thing to know the Lord God who made the heavens and the earth. We do this through our Lord Jesus Christ.
If you are one of his people the Bible gives several descriptions of you: Christian, In-Christ, saved, one of the elect, disciple, member of the family, born again are just some. This weekend in the book of Philippians, we’re going to see that God’s people are called saints.
Although we sin, the Bible doesn’t use sinner to describe us. The Bible calls Christians saints - literally dedicated to God/set apart for God. If you are a Christian, if you belong to God, then you are seen as holy and righteous in his sight. You are set apart for him.
I hope that this description of you gives you great joy in what Jesus has done for us.
If you’re not a Christian and want to be regarded in God’s eyes as a saint, please talk to someone today, we would love to share this wonderful news with you.
For our church family, please be in the prayer for each other.
We also need to be caring for our senior minister – Rob. He is off on sick leave for the next week following a medical procedure during week. When Parish Council met on Monday night, they set aside time to pray for Rob.
Please be praying about the VBS Sonforce Kids Holiday program that starts in eight days time. The week ahead will be full of preparation.
If we can be praying for you about anything else, please speak up so that we can love and serve you in this manner. Feel free to contact us through the office.
Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

Families Minister

GUEST SPEAKER — GARY MILLAR
In a world where men are told to “Man Up” but they don’t know what that means, and they actually feel more like a “Man Down” or “Man Overboard”, it’s hard to know how to live the good life.
At CQMC20, we’ll consider what it means to live well and die well as God’s man in a challenging world as we look at Paul’s second letter to his young friend Timothy.
In this letter, Paul speaks man to man and tells Timothy to ‘man up’!
He urges him to stick to the gospel, put in hard yards for Jesus every day, get over his insecurity and live to please God alone. Paul warns him that living for Jesus will never be easy, but that it is always worth it, because the gospel is the only real hope for men (and women) in this world.
It will be a day of straight talking, upfront honesty and above all, a great reminder of the fact that God has already given us everything we need to be godly men in our challenging world.
