Derek Sykes 1st July 2007 "Fellowship in Christ"
Please contact us for the audio file
Good morning and welcome to our Family Service. The speaker for this morning’s Family Service is Derek Sykes who will be looking at John 20:1-18 (p.1089) as he talks to us about ‘Fellowship in Christ’. The scripture tells us that Mary Magdalene didn’t immediately recognize Jesus at the tomb. Her grief had blinded her; she couldn’t see Him because she didn’t expect to see Him. Then He spoke her name and at once she recognized Him. Imagine the love that flooded her heart when she heard her Saviour saying her name. Jesus is near you, and He is calling your name. Can you, like Mary, regard Him as your Lord?
If you already know and love Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour, please join us and share in the Lord’s Supper today. If you are in any doubt, please take seriously the need to turn away from sin and trust Jesus with all your heart.
‘Mary Magdalene went to the disciples with the news: ‘I have seen the Lord!’ And she told them that He had said these things to her.”
