AWC Updates

Amherst Wesleyan Church
AWC Updates 8 Nov 2024

Vision

We have another extended service coming up on Sunday Nov 24th. We have been doing this every few months so we can do some things we don't normally get to do when we gather together. The service will start at 10:30am as normal, but will go until noon instead of ending at 11:30am. Our kids ministry will also be extended, so you don't need to worry about your kiddos.

I also want to take a moment to remember that Jesus is our King. No matter what happens in politics or with the economy, the only way things are going to get better is through the heart-changing work of Jesus. We must remain united in our loyalty to the King of kings. Yes, we should show respect and honour to our leaders, and we should absolutely remember those who sacrificed so that we could have the life we have. Make no mistake though, no war and no political leader is going to ultimately save the world from sin and death. That's Jesus territory. He deserves our loyalty, praise, and honour above all others.

Wins

1. We have heat in the Red House!!!!! And, not only did we save thousands and thousands and thousands of dollars in labour costs thanks to our generous workers (volunteers), we also got a deal on the actual materials too! I don't know how we could have done this otherwise. 

2. Someone shared with me this week that they don't read their Bible because they have never been a reader, and I was able to show them how to use the YouVersion Bible App to listen to the Bible instead of having to sit and read it! It makes me so happy when people are vulnerable and honest about their faith journey!

3. We sent a group to Encounter at Kingswood University last weekend and one of our teens decided to start following Jesus there! That's a miracle folks, a miracle!

On the Fence About Jesus

On the Fence About Jesus

Keep Your Eyes on Jesus - Monday, November 4, 2024

After Jesus rose from the dead there was a lot of hostility from people about Jesus and they tried to reduce Him to being just a man or just a good guy. The author of Hebrews saw all this conflict and knew that it needed to be cleared up. He showed what the Old Testament said about the Saviour and how He couldn't just be a good man, He had to be so much more.

Hebrews 1-3

The Old Testament doesn't allow Jesus to be anything but the complete solution.
