FROM THE PASTOR
An Exciting Time What an exciting time here at the Pentecostals of Sydney as we launch our new service format with multiple services every Sunday morning, as well as our Wednesday night midweek Bible study at Church. This is a means by which we can make more room for more people to come and be part of God’s Kingdom and help deepen their walk with God. Underpinning all this and all that we do in this Church is the burden and great passion of God; the making of Christian disciples. This is of vital importance because if heaven is real and if hell is real, as the Bible claims, then our loving God’s primary concern is that none spend eternity in torment but in heaven. This is why He gave us the Great Commission (Matt 28:19-20) - to ensure that all people of all nations are brought into a saving relationship with Jesus Christ. This great concern borne out of God’s amazing love is expressed in the method that Jesus taught through the discipleship of the whole world. This is our task and our method, we must do everything in our power, resources and time to live out this purpose.

God’s amazing grace has afforded us this opportunity through the incarnation of God Himself into this world through the man Christ Jesus. As fully man he gave up his life in the horrific torture and ultimate death by crucifixion. His death however paid the price for all of man’s sin and His resurrection ensured the resurrection of all His disciples. We are a month away from Easter, or Passover, by which we commemorate the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Let this month be for us a journey of drawing closer to our heavenly Father as we walk in his grace and resurrection power. Matthew 20:28 - Even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.
