Mick’s Message 

Can we know God?

Most people believe there is a God. A “something” bigger than ourselves, outside of time and very powerful. Most of us find it impossible to believe that this beautiful intricate universe simply developed without any direction. The universe certainly gives the impression of being thought about. In everything we look at there is design, showing clearly that a brilliant mind has been behind the making of the world. We all know deep down there must be a power behind the universe - A God.

It is not idle curiosity then that begins to ask, “What is God like?” But we realise that such a God must be in control of our lives both now, and after our death. It is vital to know more about God.

This is not as impossible as it may first appear, as there was a man who claimed to know God as an equal. He claimed that if we believe in him we would receive eternal life. He claimed to be able to forgive us, and lead us through life and eventually to heaven. He is of course Jesus Christ.

Madmen and liars have claimed such things before, but Jesus is different. One of his most astonishing claims was that he would come back from the dead. The evidence for his resurrection is so compelling that millions throughout the ages have been convinced of its fact and are still being convinced today.

We believe that Jesus is the answer to our deepest needs. That is why we invite you to find out more about him. If you are near enough to us you are welcome to any of our meetings, or get in touch for any further information. Better still, Jesus himself gives you his personal invitation in Matthew’s gospel;

“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”
