The Gospel

This weekend there was a Europe-wide pastors conference in Koeln and some of the participants stuck around a bit longer to join us in a time of worship. Alex, a pastor visiting from Spain gave a teaching on the Gospel.

Despite the familiarity of the topic, God used the opportunity to reassure one of the members of our church that he could be accepted by God and be certain of receiving eternal life. All that was necessary was belief. Belief that he had fallen short of meeting God's perfect standard (sinned) and as a result, deserved death. Belief that Jesus died to pay the penalty for our sins, was buried and on the third day rose again.

It is always nice to experience the surprising moments that God chooses to show His presence.

P.S-Please pray that this person would be able to grow in their faith and be able to get the support they need to learn more about God.
