The ultimate test of our faith
We can be prone to measure our commitment to the Lord in a number of ways that are not necessarily true expressions of our faith. It is possible to gain great knowledge of God’s word without really knowing Him. We can spend our lives doing good works without ever truly serving God. We could give all our possessions to the poor without ever actually giving our lives to our Lord.
The Apostle John makes it clear that the ultimate test of our faith is not our knowledge, our works, or our generosity. The ultimate evidence of our faith is love from obedience. God’s unchanging, sacrificial, life giving love revealed in Jesus Christ, displayed in the lives of his redeemed people.
Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God, and whoever loves has been born of God and knows God. Anyone who does not love does not know God, because God is love. In this the love of God was made manifest among us, that God sent his only Son into the world, so that we might live through him. [1 John 4:7-11]

SUNDAY SCHOOL IS ON THE MOVE
The new building is finished! Which means that Sunday School now has a designated room just for them and will be used from the start of Term 4, (20th October). Sign in/out will be in the same place for now at the entrance to the auditorium. The new building has carpeted areas, a lino area, a kitchen, toilets, and a secure outdoor play area. It will be a great place for our children's ministry.
