Sunday 28th August guest preacher Andrew Nichol continued our series looking at the Lord’s Prayer. As has been our practice Andrew followed the Matthew version of the prayer (Matthew 6:5-13), he has also referred to the book of Jonah and Luke 22:39-62.
This morning we continue the series on the Lord’s Prayer.
In particular we focus on “Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.”
This verse does not occur in Luke’s version, however there is nothing to say that Matthew and Luke simply recorded the prayer as it was used on separate occasions.

Kaikorai Youth meets every Friday during term time.
Generally we meet as two age-based groups, but our time does overlap for 30 minutes each night and we also come together for special events from time to time.
TRIBE (year 7 – 9) 6:30 to 8pm
PRODUCTIV (year 10 -12) 7:30 to 9pm.
The exception is special days and outings. Special Days will have us doing something together so on these days only everyone comes at 7pm and should be heading home about 8:30pm.
Outings are simply that, as we leave our place to attend an event elsewhere.
Looking ahead:
Any questions about Kaikorai Youth please contact the church office or Brendon Lee, 027 715 9908

The Lord’s Prayer has changed my life much too, becoming an intercessory prayer.
Our Father in heaven, for me, our father means not only my father but ours which led me to extend my prayer boundary and gave me a world Christian view.
Father means I am a princess of the heavenly Father and it makes me worthy.
Heaven means the highest place; the darkness is not able to reach there. Read the rest of this entry »

The future of the church, I believe, depends on Christians following the biblical example. It is about being in relationships with people, taking the time to invest in the lives of others, bringing them to faith and training them for service.
