This coming Sunday (18/1) Divine Service will begin at 8.30am.
We will be hearing readings dealing with the calling of the Old Testament prophet Samuel as well as a reading about the calling of Jesus' disciple Philip. These readings serve to illustrate a Godly response to God's call on our lives. Together with Samuel we are to recognise that God seeks to speak His word to us, and like Philip, we are to see that God desires that we bring others to "come and see Jesus."
In the midst of our anxieties about being called by God, these readings provide encouragement and confidence. A young boy and a "country" lad called into service by the Lord merely point others to the One who changes hearts and creates faith. I guess you could say it's about knowing who your Friend is, and introducing Him to others.
See you Sunday.
God's peace,
Pastor Matt
