This morning we finished our series on the heroes of faith of Hebrews 11. I actually preached on the first two verses of Hebrews 12, where the spotlight moves from those who have run their race and have taken their seats to us. The basic command of the verses is that we are to run with endurance the race before us. We do that as we are aware of the witnesses, as we get rid of hindrances and as we fix our eyes on the Saviour.
You can read a copy of the sermon here.
In addition it was great to welcome Derick Bingham to our service. Derick has had a very influential Bible teaching ministry for several decades. At the start of the year he was diagnosed with acute leukaemia. At first he was given very little chance of survival but God has been good to Derick and has raised him up again. Graciously he joined us this morning to express his thanks for the encouragement he has received.
For more news on Derick, you can read his own blog updates.
This evening we have one of our regular “conversation” services where I talk to a member of the congregation about life and faith. This evening it’s local businessman, Norman Lynas.
