The Power of Presence

It is possible to do the things we do to serve God in a way that brings the presence of Jesus into any and every situation. The Bible puts it more simply, it says we get to be “the aroma of Christ”. It is also possible to do the things we do to serve God in a way which puts a totally different aroma in people’s nostrils! Today we’re going to be digging in to what it is that makes the difference…

So welcome! Whether you are joining us in the church building at 10.30 Sunday morning or whether you are joining the service online, which you can do at any time although a lot of us still aim for 10.30 Sunday morning and then meet on Zoom for virtual coffee time afterwards, we’re glad you’re here and we hope you’ll feel right at home.

The current teaching series is called “Power in Weakness”. We’re looking at “ministry”, which simply means anything that we do to serve God, and learning all we can from the book of 2 Corinthians, which has loads to say on the subject. Today Paul is speaking on 2 Corinthians 2:12-3:6 and exploring that slightly strange, slightly beautiful idea of being the aroma of Christ.

After the service we’ll be having a virtual coffee time on Zoom at 11.45. This is our opportunity to catch up with friends and spend a bit of time chatting. If you’ve never joined us for one of these before we’d love to meet you, please do come and join in. For security reasons the Zoom meeting details have been sent out by email to everyone on our regular mailing list, if you haven’t received them please drop Paul an email and he will send the connection details over to you.
