The Net

As the saying goes; ‘Due to circumstances beyond our control…”

A really good night at ‘The Net’ (outreach to men) despite a rearranged programme. Due to a family bereavement our planned lecturer/speaker for the evening understandably had to pull out of tonight’s event. This meant spending a few hours today putting together an alternative programme. Panic over!
Not really! When I checked with our usual venue about how we wanted the room arranged, I discovered that they were not expecting us and had hired out the room to someone else!

A new venue found (thanks West End Chapel).
The activity could go ahead and despite my frantic day, it was a great privilege at the end of the day to share the gospel with a bunch of men.

The original theme for the evening was going to be a lecture on ‘The Pilgrim’s Progress’, which is the world’s best selling book after the Bible. I was able to sharing some facts and trivia concerning this unique and remarkable book, this then provided a natural platform for me to bring a gospel message and challenge to the non-Christian men who came along.

The end result of a rearranged day – Good seed sown, please water it with your prayers and let the Holy Spirit do his work (John 16:8 – “He… will convict the world concerning sin and righteousness and judgment”)

Final thought: With God there are no accidents only appointments! Everything has a purpose!

Preaching

Good time this morning preaching at Velmore Church, Chandlers Ford, Hants.

It is always great when at the end of a service someone comes up to you and says; “Thank you! That message this morning was just for me!”

Although as a preacher you hope everyone got blessed from a particular message, your constant prayer is to ‘scratch where people itch’ or as the Bible puts it to have a ‘word in season’.

Preparation!

“A man who does not plan long ahead will find trouble at his door.” Confucius

or as one wit said: “Always plan ahead. It wasn’t raining when Noah built the ark.”

During both this week and the next, quite a few hours will be spent planning and preparing for missions in February, and also planning out publicity and other important things to do with the summer Camps. We would value your prayers as we do this unseen but very important part of the ministry.
