Where Next | Andy Elmes | 20th June 2021
Pastor Andy’s message this week is titled “Where Next”? After
discussing the shape of things to come for both the previously established
congregations (pre Covid) and also the newly established online congregation, he
speaks about the very definition of a Christian or more usefully a Disciple, or
a Believer. Are we called something yet our attributes do not confirm the name
we give ourselves? If we are a follower of Jesus do we properly purpose in our
hearts to follow Him? Do we dedicate in our hearts to follow Jesus in all His
steps, placing our attention in Him? Jesus called people to become followers
and disciples in the Gospels and He does the same today – to have a daily experience
of Him in their world. Jesus calls us
into a daily relational walk with Him now just as He did in the Gospels. All
Jesus disciples in the gospels had security in what they did and left this and
at some cost started to follow Jesus in a new journey. They did not look back.
They needed to leave their previous security to join Him and follow Him into
something much better. Will we lay down our comforts and put Him first in all
things advancing with Him?
