Good morning and welcome to the chapel on the hill! Whether you’re a regular, visiting as a one-off or thinking about becoming part of our local church, we’re glad you could join us.
In this bulletin you’ll find info about our ministries and weekly activities, as well as a bit of who we are, what we do and how we
serve Jesus in our community and wider Missions.
We hope you enjoy your morning and look forward to chatting with you after the service over a coffee. We pray that today’s sermon
really speaks to your heart, as God uses His word here today.
From the Pastor...
Are you Humble in His Service? – Rev Brendan Edwards
Romans 12: 1-3 (NIV)
A Living Sacrifice
12 Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship. 2 Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.
Humble Service in the Body of Christ
3 For by the grace given me I say to every one of you: Do not think of yourself more highly than you ought, but rather think of yourself with sober judgment, in accordance with the faith God has distributed to each of you.
Romans 13:11-14 (NIV)
The Day Is Near
11 And do this, understanding the present time: The hour has already come for you to wake up from your slumber, because our salvation is nearer now than when we first believed. 12 The night is nearly over; the day is almost here. So let us put aside the deeds of darkness and put on the armor of light. 13 Let us behave decently, as in the daytime, not in carousing and drunkenness, not in sexual immorality and debauchery, not in dissension and jealousy. 14 Rather, clothe yourselves with the Lord Jesus Christ, and do not think about how to gratify the desires of the flesh.[a]
Romans 13:14 In contexts like this, the Greek word for flesh (sarx) refers to the sinful state of human beings, often presented as a power in opposition to the Spirit.
