Wow…what a GREAT service we had on Sunday evening launching our new, exciting series: Mark’s Gospel – What if God was one of us?

Great preach, great worship, real sense of God in our midst.

Last Sunday (for those not in the know) we changed our service time from 4pm to 5.30pm to provide more time for people (especially those involved in serving/ministry teams) to rest and relax and enjoy fellowship with each other before the afternoon service, launching a 12 month series (interspersed with Christmas, Easter, etc.) on Mark’s Gospel.

This is a response to our ever-increasing desire for the Gospel to be preached (and thereby for Christ to be exalted) at every Sunday service. We want all our services to be both edifying to the church and challenging to non-believers, clearly presenting the Gospel and providing opportunities for non-believers to repent and accept Christ. We are convinced that God wants to build Westminster Chapel on the Gospel of Jesus Christ and we want to make this Gospel central to everything that we do. And what better place to start than in Mark’s Gospel, written by young John Mark who rose from obscurity to worldwide influence in writing an entirely new genre of literature – the first Gospel.  His aim was to racily describe what the world would be like if God became one of us.

Greg has also written an outstanding guide to Mark’s Gospel (I’ve had a sneak peek and it is not to be missed) that will be available for free on our website soon!

There is rising faith amongst us as a leadership and staff team, as well as our members, to see many come to faith, recommit to God and to pray for the sick and see them healed at all our services, so please be bold in inviting friends, colleagues and neighbours to attend. Let’s pray, pray, pray and believe God to do amazing things in our church in the season ahead!
