On Saturday 13th march from 10am – 12pm, City Women will be joined by special guest speaker: Jane Blease.

ASPIRE TO OVERCOME

Abandonment, shame, fear, bitterness these are just some of the issues Jane Blease has faced and overcome. At the age of 17 a discovery changed her life forever and tore her family apart.

Come and hear Jane share her frank and deeply moving story of God’s restoring power at the Main Church Building.

Guest Speaker This Sunday: Terry Law

Steph — Thu, 11 Mar 2010 12:34:09 +0000

This Sunday will see the return visit of Terry Law, founder and president of World Compassion.

Since 1969, Terry has travelled to many countries which are hostile to the Gospel, such as the former Soviet Union and Iraq, to share the message of Jesus Christ and to support local churches and Christian relief programs.

Terry is one of America’s foremost speakers on nations that are normally closed to the Gospel. He preaches frequently in North America and the United Kingdom to encourage the Church and let people know what is going on behind the scenes in closed nations. Most recently, he has focused his ministry on Muslim nations, including Afghanistan and Iraq. In June 2004, Terry had the privilege of meeting with Iraqi Prime Minister Iyad Allawi to discuss religious freedom in Iraq. And in August 2005, he met with the new Prime Minister, Ibrahim al-Jaafari, to urge him to include religious freedom in the new Iraqi constitution.

We are very excited to have him come back to minister with us, and to hear what God is doing through Terry Law and his ministry and would love to have you join us this Sunday 14th March, at our 9:30am & 11:30am services in Cineworld, and at 6:30pm in our main Church!

Today’s Verse: Ephesians 6:10-17: “Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God;”
