New Year - Same message

I know its been months since I blogged. But here I am again. Who knows I may change the look soon.

Preached this morning about preaching - in particular from Galatians 1 - where Paul warns against the false gospel - which is not another gospel. Quite challenging when you are the only preacher there.
True preaching is to bring Gods message. I sent the boundaries from which the message could come as being the word of God. We thought about how the message should be prepared and received, the importance of a prepared and studied message that is delivered in an understandable way. How important it was to mix faith with our hearing. (Hebrews 4),
I emphasized the responsibility of the hearer to discern the true message - that which speaks of Christ, who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us from this present evil world.
