Dear Friends,
A very warm welcome to you if you are visiting with us or if it is your first time here at St James Wyong. Please do stay and join us for morning tea and a chat after the service.
Happy Mother’s Day to all of our beautiful and hardworking mums and carers! May God grace you with the strength and patience to continue in your Christ-like roles.
In our services today we focus in on a much maligned and misunderstood passage of Scripture: Peter’s teaching on marriage. The key to interpreting his instructions lies with a Biblical understanding of the word “submission”. Christ gives us both the example and the means by which one can ‘submit’ in a way that is pleasing to God. It is centred on a willingness to lovingly place another’s needs before one’s own. In doing so Jesus is reflected and the gospel is displayed.
May God richly bless you all this week in the knowledge of his love shown to you in the cross of Christ.
Your servant in Christ,
Reverend Dan Connor
