Unusually this year we were away for 2 Sundays. On the first Sunday we went to Bethesda Calvinistic Methodist Church, Nr Saundersfoot. The message in the morning was from Ezekiel - he has spoken it and he will do it (EZK 36) ; The preacher, whose name escaped me set about to demonstrate how reliable and faithful God is and to encourage us to trust God for the future. Simple, effective memorable and gave you a sense of the worthiness and awe of God, and a ground for faith. The church runs a stall as a witness on Thursday in the New Hedges Market, which we were pleased to visit.
In the morning the visiting preacher spoke to the children about the best book of all. However it seemed a bit incongruous that there were hardly any bibles in the church as the reading was projected onto the walls. I don't think that it was just my traditional upbringing that made that feel strange. I feel the bible needs to have its place, and be seen to have its place in the church and in the lives of believers.
It was a good message for the children.
The evening service was from Romans 7 and 8 - how to overcome sin..
The two most memorable points were the first Christ is victorious andthe final that we have the spirit dwelling in us. It was good to be reminded of these facts.
It is always good to meet fresh faces, and talk all be it for a relatively short time with those who are brothers and sisters in Christ. Holidays offer that opportunity.
