Are you Faithful?

This was our first Sunday without Pastor Simon and Jan with us as they are in America for the next 4 weeks. Big thanks to John for setting up the church on Saturday and continue to pray that there will always be willing people to help out. The Lord has provided so far and I’m certain will continue!

We were blessed with brother Neil Smith and his family visiting the church on Sunday and had a wonderful message from the word of God from Neil as well. It’s always an encouragement to have visitors sharing the word as we learn in different ways and the Lord has a special way of teaching us through different people.

Ephesians 1:1
Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, to the saints which are at Ephesus, and to the faithful in Christ Jesus

He shared with us from Ephesians 1 about faithfulness and what it means to be faithful to the Lord. Don’t let your faithfulness fade because life gets you down because the Lord will give you peace, grace and blessings if you are faithful. I like to think practically about these things so here is a list of ways I can be faithful, maybe you’d like to make your own list or just add to mine.

- Going to church
- Praying
- Reading my bible
- Sharing the wonderful news of our God
- Obeying God and keeping His commandments
- Helping out with church ministries
- Giving God the control in your life
- Showing the love of God to others
- By my actions I can be faithful
- Listening to God in my life

I’m sure there are plenty more things that I could do to be faithful and the Lord will show me and guide me with them in the future! But Sunday’s message was a very powerful one that we need to be faithful in all areas of our life to the Lord.

Next week we will have brother John Gadenne preaching so keep him in your prayers as he prepares! Continue to pray for Simon and Jan as they travel America – pray for America too!!! And take the time this week to think about the wonderful blessings the Lord has given us, I bet you can’t count them on all your fingers or even your toes because He has blessed us so GREATLY!

Have a wonderful week and God bless!
