A message from our pastor, Grant Morrison
The media is full of reports of wars, civil unrest, political problems, and more issues that seem to threaten our stability and way of life. There are even more stories of civil unrest and political strife that our western focussed media ignores. Then there are social issues around drugs that affect all nations and the livelihoods of millions.
If we focus only on these reports of atrocities, we may be inclined to think that the world is rapidly heading towards destruction. I believe we still have some time before the end comes. Matthew 24 is a chapter where Jesus speaks of the signs of the end times. Those signs are here, now however, verse 14 is an important detail and says “and this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations…” .
The gospel has not yet been preached to all people groups i.e. nations. Inroads are being made to connect with unreached people but there is still much to be done. Our focus should be on those who live around us and what we can do to help people hear the good news.
I invite you to pray every day this July for those who need to hear the good news about Jesus. Pray for people by name, not just in general, focus that prayer because it’s as a result of prayer that people come to faith in Jesus Christ.
Blessings,
Grant
