Kairos – Knowing our Response | Sean Finch | 19th February 2023

Pastor Sean speaks about our response to God in the Kairos moment. One of our Church Values is that we are all responsive people and responsive to God. Also, that the moment we are is all about being able to react correctly to what God is asking us to do. Ps Sean takes many examples of how people responded to God from scripture, perhaps the most notable being that of Nehemiah who led the rebuilding of the walls of Jerusalem.  In 52 days, the city walls were rebuilt, the gates were rebuilt, and the doors were rehung…an amazing feat. Nehemiah brought many people, some from high up positions or perhaps seemingly no relevant trades to come together and undertake this task. For such a time as this Nehemiah responded by saying, ‘here I am’, ready to serve the purposes of God’s Kingdom. So it is with us in our community. Romans 12 tells us we all have different gifts, each can bring something to the house of the Lord. We all need to ensure we are using our gifts for the purposes of God – even if just to speak words of encouragement perhaps. It is vital we carry on doing what we do in the body of Christ, only this way we can be ready for what is next to come our way. God's house needs to be alive and working, functioning as it should.

We are all called to serve for His purposes – this is our response to the time such as this.
