24.01.2022 Are You Up For The Challenge? The Leigh parish, situated in the suburban growth corridor to the west of Geelong, is a well resourced but small, ageing congrega...tion looking for a pastor who loves the Lord and his people, preaches faithfully from the Scriptures and longs to see the great news about Jesus shared with the local community. The pastor would enjoy the benefits of a parish with a modernised church and a modern state-of-the-art manse, a sound financial position and a congregation eager to see a revitalising work in the area. This is definitely one for the man who sees in himself the gifts of a church planter or church revitaliser. Are you the man to take up this exciting challenge in the work of the gospel? If so please contact: The Leigh Presbyterian Church C/- Robert White (Interim Moderator) [email protected]; 0418 781 379 https://pcv.org.au/about/jobs/

24.01.2022 DAYLIGHT SAVING This coming Sunday we will meet at ... 10am for those who think that is still 10am, 9am for those who think that is 10am, and ... 11am for those who think that is 10am. Hopefully we will work it out before then.

16.01.2022 This Day in CHRISTIAN History 1st March 1854 HUDSON TAYLOR .... ALONE AMONG 500 MILLION SOULS My feelings on stepping ashore I cannot attempt to describe. My... heart felt as though it had not room and must burst its bonds, while tears of gratitude and thankfulness fell from my eyes." So wrote Hudson Taylor of the moment of his landing at Shanghai, China on this day, March 1, 1854 at 5 p.m. For years his heart had burned with desire to carry the gospel to China. He had exerted every ounce of his energy for this moment. Through weary struggles, through bouts of depression, through storm and danger of shipwreck, through heart-wrenching separation from his family, in isolation from other Englishmen, in hours of intense prayer, he had persevered to step upon this shore. He did not know a soul, nor where to turn, although he had on him a letter to a missionary already established on Chinese soil. But Hudson Taylor had learned much about trusting the Lord, and this night his trust was not misplaced. As if guided, he found his way through the unfamiliar oriental streets to a mission compound where he was kindly received. Nothing worked out according to his expectations. His first six months in China were dreary and lonely. His income was tiny and he could do little. Civil war began the week he arrived and rival gangs slaughtered people before his horrified eyes. Unable to rent a house as he had hoped, he had to impose on his kindly hosts. He flung himself into language learning, to the neglect even of his devotions. His mission board embarrassed him with its ignorance of China. Hudson Taylor overcame these difficulties and many more. He learned the language and made up his mind to adopt native dress. It was his hope to establish a thoroughly native church. The Chinese, he felt, had little to do with Christianity because they hated foreign ways. His methods proved successful. In time he broke gracefully away from his English board and founded the China Inland Mission, based wholly on faith. He did not tell others of his financial needs, trusting that the Lord would provide whatever was needed. He prayed specifically for his needs and for more missionaries. One year he prayed for 70 missionaries. The Lord sent 76. Another year he asked for 100 and got 102. The Lord also provided their passage money. At his death the China Inland Mission had 205 missionaries. Hudson Taylor married Maria Dyer, who died tragically young. Nearing death, she kissed Hudson again and again, for each of their eight children. She had been a true support to him. Hudson was left to carry on without her. Chinese Christianity grew slowly. For many years the number of Protestants hung at barely a million. Under savage persecutions, Christianity flourished. Today the Chinese church is thought by some analysts to be the fastest growing in the world. Chinese Christians owe their first contact with the Gospel to the evangelism of men such as Hudson Taylor. When he stepped in faith onto Shanghai's soil, he became one of the greatest missionaries the world has known. https://www.christianity.com//alone-among-500-million-soul

11.01.2022 Why did so many witnesses of Christ's crucifixion & resurrection refuse to recant their testimony even when cruelly tortured to death decades later? Because it is #Truth.

10.01.2022 Prayer is the translation into a thousand different words of a single sentence: Apart from me [Christ] you can do nothing (John 15:5). Piper, J. "Brothers, we are not professionals"

07.01.2022 This was the first complete Bible in an Aboriginal language, and it wasn't published until 2007. Wonderful to see that it completely sold out and that a new edition has been published.

06.01.2022 Tomorrow we will be singing this song written by Keith and Kristyn Getty. https://youtu.be/ubGCISQQ7Zo

02.01.2022 Here is a terrific post on the current state of Bible translation. It's short - so please take a moment to read it. Why not have someone share this at church this Sunday? Some of the figures are quite startling.
