Hi Church,
Thank you for participating in another weekend of collective ministry that touched many hundreds of people. Grace church is growing again, and we humbly thank the Lord for His favour. We know unless the Lord builds the house the labourers (us) labour in vain. So I want to stay next to Him as His apprentice and be amazed at the Master Builder’s artistry (Ephesians 2:10).
World Changers Youth continues to grow as Neve and Ben are determined to make disciples of Jesus, not just entertain a crowd. But they need our help, so if you feel you can come and just contribute something to help carry the load then please see them. This generation needs you more than you know.
Suzie Wood brought a very encouraging word last Sunday to the Church. In keeping to the main theme of Alive in 2025, Suzie presented truth for stirring our hearts to birth a dream in God. Then how to live it out and let others be influenced by it. Often our dreams can be the spark for others. Suzie encouraged us to make sure our dream does not just stay in our heads, but we are to bring it to reality. I love the way she highlighted Ezekiel’s vision in Chapter 37 where Ezekial the prophet speaks to the valley of dry bones, and there is a great rattling of bones as they come together from being scattered. Suzie challenged us that Port Macquarie needs to hear dry rattling bones come together again and a mighty army arise that will step out with the purposes of God. Thank you, Suzie, for being an inspiration to the people around you, to not just be spectators in living. So come alive Church, it’s never too late to step out! Key Scriptures included Ps 20;4, Prov 3:5-6 and Eph 3:20-21.
Last Sunday evening at “More” night we experienced a beautiful time of Jesus encounter, as we pressed into His presence in worship. I know many were blessed and encouraged as they laid their burdens at the feet of Jesus and took on His miracle power for their life situation. Matt D shared an encouraging word sharing part of his testimony and recovery from burnout. He spoke from Ps 23 and key scriptures around the restoration our soul.
So, another wonderful weekend and I pray it continues all week long as Jesus blesses you and restores you and builds your life for His glory.
Love you Church
Ps Greg and Amanda
