Portlethen Christian Fellowship

We had James MacKenzie from ACF as we continued our summer series looking at the wonderful passages of comfort in Isaiah. This Sunday we reflected on Isa 40:28-31 - God giving strength to those who are weary.

We began our summer series this week, reflecting on the passages of assurance and consolation found in the book of Isaiah 40-55.

Zak reflected on the God who brings comfort to the weary, in Isa 40:1-11.

This week as we continued our series, we considered what a culture of goodness looks like, and what it would have felt like to be amongst these first disciples. We turend to Phil 4:4-9 as we considered what it looks like to gather together with glad (rejoicing) and sincere (simplicity) hearts.

This week Ian Ferguson continued our series, reflecting on the central role of the Holy Spirit in the forming of the church and equipping the early disciples.

A key question he asked was: rather than asking how I can have more of the Holy Spirit, what does it look like for the Holy Spirit to have more of me?

As we continue on our series looking at Foundations, we took some extended time on Sunday to consider the practice of prayer. We learned lots from the account of the early church in Acts through the time together. If you would like to view the accompanying notes you can access them here

This week Zak continued to explore our series on Fellowship together, looking at the way the early church devoted themselves to Fellowship - and what it means to be devoted to one another as we form community where we are.

Week 2 of our series looking at the foundations of the early church as we find it in Acts 2:42-47. This week Vijay joined us to share about the foundational practice of teaching and the centrality of being a life-long disciple (learner) of Jesus.

This Sunday we launched our new sermon series, called Foundations. Each week this term we are looking at Acts 2:42-47 and considering the 9 foundational, formational practices of the early church that are first recorded in these verses and continue to be right at the heart of the church right up till the present day.

This week, we had a friend of PCF, Thomas Dean (Pastor of Stenhouse Baptist) come and share about the formational practice of breaking bread together.

As we wrap up our series reading through Luke's Gospel together, we finish by reflecting on the Emmaus Road journey, beginning in Luke 24:13. We reflected on the invitation to join in with God's story together, that Emmaus Road is our story and our mission. With hearts burning, eyes opening and lives changing as we encounter Jesus and introduce others to Jesus too.

As we near the end of our series reading through Luke's Gospel, we took time this Sunday to consider the significance of Palm Sunday.

We landed with the question:

What does it mean to trust Jesus as our King? How can we follow Him more and more in our daily lives?
