The Bethel - Old Trafford Christadelphian Church

Sorry for not being able to provide the service audio this week.

Baptism Service for Sam Parker, led by John Downer

Starting by wondering why some bible people get struck down for 'minor offences' (Achan), whereas some get away with murder (David). Tony takes us through how having a Grace relationship with God makes this possible, and how Jesus promises that.

Taking thoughts from a further introductory reading from Philippians 2, Malcolm explores the practice of 'Christ in you: the hope of glory'.

Introduced by the scripture text of Colossians 1, Malcolm put down the foundation principles of 'Christ in you: the hope of glory'

John encouraged us, when we are feeling lonely, to fix our eyes on Jesus & use God's strength to choose to do something about it.

Taking thoughts from 2 Kings 4, Charles encouraged us to believe that God has everything under control, to trust in Him even when we don't understand our circumstances or things that happen to us.

Beginning in Jeremiah 32:38-40 Alex reminded us how good God has been to us and then encouraged us not to grow tired of doing good works (Galatians 6:9+10) using three stories to illustrate 'agathos' - the good works we are created to do.

Encouragement based on Hebrews 11, also drawing from Mark 11.

Mark 4 was the scripture for the day and Andrew used it as a springboard to remind us to keep swimming forwards in our faith, not to take steps backwards and remember our first love - Jesus.
