SUNDAY SERVICE



Above: We are always thankful when looking out into our congregation and seeing the evidence of God's grace in the lives of changed men and women. Tonight, I prepared a slide show with memories of our brother György Kovács who recently went to be with the Lord. Many in the congregation knew György personally as he often taught in our church and attended outreaches. When we sang after members gave testimony as to how György influenced their lives, I could only rejoice in knowing that György is singing new songs of praise in the presence of Jesus Christ. How awesome is our God who has made a way for us to have eternal life through His Son Jesus!



Above: I have given Dezső the responsibility to preach once a month, as I believe God has given him the gift of teaching. We have been meeting once a week and I have the privilege in coaching him in sermon preparation and Biblical leadership. Dezső did an excellent job tonight preaching on God's command to have no other God's before Him. He made clear that man was created to worship, and he also highlighted the various idols that the world holds before God. Dezső challenged the congregation to put aside all objects of worship that are not worthy and that lead to destruction. He challenged us to fully commit ourselves to the only One who is worthy and wants the best for us.



Above L: Celebrating birthdays! Zoli with his mother Ildiko (left) and Eszter (right). I got into an interesting converstaion before service tonight with Ildiko and her mother. Her mother asked me, "Do you believe that we had lives prior to this life?" I had an opportunity to explain that we only have one life and afterwards comes judgment. I also explained the hope we have in Jesus, who saves us from wrath and secures a place for us in heaven as children of God. She replied, "I agree. These people keep arguing with me about having to pay back bad things I did in a past life, but why would I have to pay back something I can't even remember?" She also jumped in now and then filling in parts of the gospel as I spoke, showing her agreement with God's truth.



Above: Dávid (left) visited tonight after disappearing from our fellowship for some time. We were glad to encourage him and talk with him about various issues in his life that distract him from God. Please pray for Dávid to be renewed in his faith and to grow in maturity by God's grace.
