A message from our pastor, Grant Morrison

This new year is well and truly underway. We live in a waterside paradise where we see boats and yachts of all shapes and sizes. With this boating theme in mind, it’s welcome to February 2025. Most of the church family are back on deck, now it’s time to weigh anchor and unfurl the sails.

We will begin February and a new school term with an exploration of 1 Corinthians. Corinth was a port city, so it seems appropriate to go with the boating analogy and there are some particular similarities. There were good things happening in the church but there were also some issues that Paul needed to address. We will explore these this term.

Our boat, the church, will have to ride the swells brought on by the waves and storms of life. Sometimes sailing is just plain hard work especially if we’re not all pulling in the same direction. This is when the lessons learned by the church in Corinth can be helpful for us.

When it’s not plain sailing, life can seem like hard work and in sailing parlance it’s like tacking into the wind. At other times we can enjoy sailing with the wind at our back and can put up a spinnaker and catch the wind of the Spirit.

My hope is that we might all pull together, turn our boat, the church, from tacking into the wind. Then to be able to head where God would have us so we might benefit from having full sails.

Many Blessings,

Grant
