Murray Bridge Church of Christ

Greetings to everyone accessing our messages for this Sunday. How the weather has changed this last week, from beautiful autumnal sunshine to cold winds, cloud cover and misty rain. It is lovely to hear the raindrops on our roofs.

Praise God for the raindrops filling our tanks, watering our gardens and bringing soaking showers for the farmers in our district.

Here are the links to Ruhinda’s Communion talk as well as Pastor Grant’s Sermon for this week: “By Whose Authority?”

Communion:

Sermon:

Greetings again, everyone. I trust that you are enjoying our wonderful autumnal weather at present.

As we continue to move through this season of worshipping in a different way, may you all know God’s rich blessings as we share in Communion together in our homes, and as we hear a message from God’s word.

For communion today we will be lead by Graham Nancarrow, and today’s sermon is brought to you by Greg Woolner.

It has been encouraging to hear the news this past week that restrictions in our movements in society are starting to be relaxed – here in South Australia at least.

I am sure that all of you watching these messages are looking forward to that day when we can once again worship our Lord Jesus Christ together in person. I am sure that we will have a great deal for which to praise Him.

MOTHER’S DAY

Today is the special day in our calendar when we especially acknowledge our mothers, with a special focus on their important role in our lives. Pastor Grant’s message today will have a focus on mothers.

Pastor Grant will also be leading us around the Lord’s Table of Remembrance (Communion).

Prepare to take communion and the click on the images below to watch the videos.

As we continue to worship in isolation from each other we are continuing to provide two messages for every Sunday. The first one is to help you to observe communion at home and is led by Trevor Purdie this week. He has asked that you watch a video of a favourite hymn before watching his message: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X-dEfvz6Vms

Please prepare before viewing some juice and some bread or biscuit.

The second message is from Pastor Grant and is based on his Bible reading for this Sunday.

Regular viewers will notice that we have changed access to these videos because we now have a YouTube channel dedicated to these messages. A big thanks to my son Simon who helped set this up.

As we continue to move through this season of worshipping “together” in isolation, may our Lord and Saviour continue to bless us, guide us and comfort us as we seek His face and dwell in His presence.
