The first Sunday of 2010 saw the Wright family attending Windsor Park Baptist Church. We have been before when visiting family and received a warm welcome. This time things were different... in a better way... a new pastor who has been settling in over the past year seems to have brought a stronger sense of community and fellowship to the church and it shows in a very welcoming and worshipful way.
The sermon was cleverly integrated into the worship and the celebration of communion.
The theme was a great focus for the New Year - Who will you serve in 2010?
The text: Joshua 24:1-15 - with a specific focus on Courage, Integrity and Conviction
My memory of the main points:
1, Joshua had to show courage
- will we serve God?
- acting on the opportunities to serve takes courage
- the choices may not be popular
2, Joshua had to show integrity
- Joshua lived what he believed
- he new the role of God on his life
3, Joshua had to show conviction
- love the Lord your God with all your heart, mind, sole and strength
"But as for me and my household, we will serve the Lord"
An inspiring way to start 2010 - many thanks.
