Rev. John McGregor

I've just come back from Church where Rev. John McGregor preached as part of the Churches 10th anniversary. The theme of the weekend is personal revival and his first message was about the place where our desire for personal revival begins, at the foot of Jesus.
He preached about prayer from Matthew 6.5-15 http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew%206.5-15&version=31.
John highlighted the truth that prayer involves relationship. I came home tonight and looked at my blog and found that someone responded to an earlier entry I made today with a poem about turning to God through prayer.

My prayers tend to be for other people largely which isn't a bad thing, but they do tend to be prayers for help and God's intervention in peoples lives. My prayer life needs to be more then that. It needs to be a place where I spend time with my Father God who wants to be in relationship with me. This spending time with God shouldn't just be in those moments of need. God is challenging me to walk with Him through out the day, I want to rise to the challenge.

I nearly didn't go tonight because I'm still feeling pretty sick. I'm glade I did, I met with a friend who hasn't been coming to Church for very long and has been away for a couple of weeks. He responded to my invitation to come along tonight. His going through some battles at the moment and needs friends, I'm meeting with him for coffee tomorrow. God clearly wanted me at Church tonight, I thank Him that He had His way.

God makes a habit of such things don't you think?

Please share any stories you may have on the subject.

Church anniversary

Our Church has been going for ten years now and we're marking the anniversary by having a revival weekend. We have a guy called Rev. John McGregor coming to speak at what looks like a very full weekend program.

I'm feeling a bit 'tom dick' today sadly. I'm really hoping that it won't spoil the weekend.
Our small group will be meeting at Church tonight to hear Rev. John McGregor, Louise and I have volunteered to serve as councillors along with a number of other folk from the Church. I might have to stand back from that for now as I don't want to pass on this nasty bug.
So, if your reading this blog and you happen to be in Jeffrey's Bay over the weekend, why not visit Jeffrey's Bay Baptist Church and join in with our anniversary weekend (Stay away from me though, I have a bug, you've been warned!!)

God bless all my readers.
