Refreshing and revitalizing sermon by Rev James MacIver of Knock Free Church
Hello all I am just back from a holiday up in the Isle of Lewis with my kids and I was at the church on Sunday and heard a fortifying sermon on the whole attitude of a Pastor and his role.
The Rev James MacIver had a call from the North Free Church, Inverness (“a call” is when a church approaches a minister to come and be the senior pastor/overseer of their church).
Well the call to be minister was asked to not to proceed by the Rev James MacIver, where he felt clear in his mind that his work hadn’t finished yet. I do feel the same as an outsider looking in and feel there is so much potential in sharing the Gospel to others. I do believe that up in Lewis that young men and women can be trained more in scripture and to teach and evangelize the Word. To be trained in the Word isn’t just a Sunday and prayer meeting thing but it has to be set aside and more focused and deeper training.
I’ll share more on this soon but here is the message preached from the book of Philippians Chap. 1 verse 25 - A Personal Conviction
