*Repentance - Door of Mercy II*


Text:

Matthew 3:2; 4:17

Acts 3:19


*Jesus Opens the Door*

While it is true God has decreed a judgment of death upon sin, He is also a God of love - "God is love" (1 John 4:16). God loves you even if you are living in sin. His love has made a way for you to be saved (John 3:16). God will carry out His judgment on sin, and if this justice would be meted  out to man, he would instantly  die. Therefore God, not willing that any should perish, sent His son Jesus to take the penalty of our sins that we may live.

Jesus was now made sin in our place, and to satisfy the judgment of God, He was crucified on a cross. He endured the pain and agony, and then died. Our sins were paid.


*Repentance, Our Part*

Acts 2:23

Luke 18:13

Matthew 11:28

1 John 4:19

Will you look to Jesus, the One who was crucified, and acknowledge your sin?

Repentance is wrought by God in the heart of all those who will come to Him. Then your heart will be washed clean, and you will have peace, happiness and security.


*Finally, repentance results in a deep appreciation and loyalty to Christ and God's will*

Pray for spiritual leading and protection for all under your care

 *22/09/2024* *FOURTH SUNDAY SERVICE* TOPIC: *PRAYER* Text: Matthew 6: 9-13 OUTLINE OF A PRAYER GIVEN BY JESUS  7. Pray for spiritual leading and protection for all under your care. Matthew 6:13 We commit our futures to God when we ask for guidance away from temptation and the devices of the evil one.

THE ROYAL HOUSE OF TROY

 *THE ROYAL HOUSE OF TROY* The traditional founder of Troy's famed royal house was Dardanus, a few generations prior to Tros and Ilus: "Dardanus, in Greek legend, the son of Zeus and the Pleiad Electra, mythical founder of Dardania on the Hellespont (the nearby strait separating Dardania from Hellas or Greece now called the Dardanelles). He was the ancestor of the Dardans of the Troad (the region surrounding Troy)... "According to tradition ... Dardanus fled from Arcadia (in the middle of Mycenaean Greece) across the sea to Samothrace (a northern Aegean island). When that island was visited by a flood, he crossed over to the Troad ... Being hospitably received by Teucer (ruler of Phrygia), he married Teucer's daughter Bateia and became the founder of the royal house of Troy"  ("Dardanus, "Encyclopedia Britannica, Micropaedia, 1985, Vol.3, p.884). In his acclaimed *Story of Civilization*, historian Will Durant writes: "Who were the Trojans? An Egypt

WILL JESUS FIND FAITH?

  *WILL JESUS FIND FAITH?* *In times of crisis more people turn to God, yet usually for only a short time. Will we break the pattern?* Jesus posed a startling question to His disciples in *Luke 18:8: "When the Son of Man comes, will He really find faith on the earth?"* Faith in God is diminishing day by day, year by year. Statisticians and researchers have produced many reports showing the decline of faith in America and the Western world. When a crisis strikes our world - be it a war, a terrorist attack or a health pandemic - we often see short-lived return to faith. More prayers go up to God for a short while. Recent Pew research polling has found that most people are praying more during the coronavirus outbreak than before. But the pattern we've seen before is that as a great crisis is resolved and fades, life goes back to normal. Churches are mostly empty again. What are people thinking, and does it matter? Why should we be concerned about what society at large believ
