First Sunday Advent

At our Adult Bible study this morning we focused our thoughts on Paul's Perspective as a prisoner. (Phil. 1: 3-11)

Paul is in prison awaiting trial. He is thankful and joyful despite his circumstances. He is concerned not for himself but for his fellow believers. He prays for their continued growth in Christ. His prayers have a fervency, frequency and a focus. We have so much to learn from Paul.

Some of our folk were away on holidays overseas. There was a shortage of players and I gladly accepted the invitation to play first horn this morning.

The Corps Officer's (pastor's) message this morning was based on Isaiah 11:1-10. The text was "In that day the Root of Jesse will stand as a banner for the peoples; the nations will rally to Him, and His place of rest will be glorious." (Isaiah 11: 10)
God has given us this wonderful gift of peace through Jesus whose coming we celebrate.
