Pastor's Letter April 2013

 
 
Dear Friends
 
I love this Church.  There, I’ve said it, and I will say it again.  I love Liberty Church and I love being part of it.  That’s not to say that I don’t get frustrated sometimes, or that Liberty Church is perfect, but I love it!  I also know that however much I love this Church, it is nothing compared to how much God loves his Church.
 
I am becoming increasingly aware of the significance and importance of Church.  When we live in obedience to his commands, and take seriously the Word of God to us, the Church becomes the radical community of God’s people, demonstrating life and relationship the way it should be.  When Church is as it should be then we see marriages and families functioning as they were made to; we see relationships centred around love, humility, forgiveness and mutual support; we see people living with a strong sense of purpose, clear about their priorities and values; we see life in all its fullness.
 
A few weeks ago I talked about knowing people and how Jesus went out of his way to be amongst people who needed him..  In the same way, the Church, as the body of Christ, is meant to live amongst those who need God. As I have already said, we are not perfect, but as we together surrender our lives to Christ and seek to live for him, we become that radical community, living with faith, hope and purpose, and in the same way that Jesus drew people to him, we will draw people and lead them to God.  (One of the reasons I love the location of the new building is that it puts us right in the middle of a diverse mix of people who all need God.)
 
I believe that great days lie ahead for us and that we will see the Kingdom of God come in greater measure in our lifetime.  I look forward to seeing Liberty Church growing in love, in faith, in relationship and in number as we see lives transformed.
 
I love Liberty Church – had I mentioned that!
 
Have a wonderful Easter
 
Love, Blessing and Gratitude
 
Jon
