The mission of St James Berala and Lighthouse Church is to "Make and grow followers of Jesus for God's Honour and Glory".
Today, I want to talk to you about how we "Grow" followers of Jesus in this time. Essentially, how do we look after, and love each other.
There are two very important things I want to say: Discipleship Groups and Self Care.
People are scared. Many have lost their jobs. And we don't know what the future will look like.
It's easy to see the negatives of our current situation - but did you know right now you have a once in a life time opportunity that you will never have again?
Never before has there been such a chance to love the people of Berala. To love your neighbour. To love others as Jesus loved us. Never before have people in Berala needed our love so much. Never before have we had a chance to share our love in such a way.
It was wonderful to see so many join us at our first Online Church yesterday.
We will be back again next week on Sunday at:
10:00am: http://www.stjamesberala.org.au/online
4:30pm: http://www.lighthouseberala.com/online
Make sure you make every effort to join us! In these times of trouble — we must not stop meeting together!
Jesus says in John 13:34-35:
“church is not cancelled! it has moved online…”
The coronavirus is the greatest crisis Australia has faced since WWII, and the greatest crisis we have ever faced as a church.
For the foreseeable future, all St James Berala and Lighthouse physical church gatherings will cease. This includes Sunday Services, Discipleship Groups and Youth Group.
