A Message from our Pastor
13th August 2025
Famous American actor, director and producer Denzel Washington was brought up in a Christian home. When asked about his own faith, he says he gave his life to Jesus three times.
One time he had a supernatural encounter with God, in which he recalls being filled with the Holy Spirit. This, he says, was a once in a life time experience for him. In his own words, this was an encounter that he experienced and accepted, but was unable to live. This experience changed his outlook on life and he became a man who did a lot of good ... but living a life just more “good” did not make it the right life.
His mum confronted him and said, ‘Son, you need to do good in the right way’. I guess that must have been when he realised he needed to make another commitment to follow Jesus.
We can work hard to be good, and make a huge contribution to the welfare of the people and services around us, but unless we do it in the footsteps of Jesus, it can be so superficial; no one will know what an amazing, powerful and good God we have.
Let’s pray that the Spirit of God may help us live our lives filled with God’s Spirit, walking on His path, reflecting His goodness to the world around us.
