The Message This Week Christ First Watford

Aaron McGovern, drew our 7 week series 'INVITED' to an end with 'EVERYONE'S Welcome at God's Table'. We were challenged to: Pray; Give; Go and Welcome.

Guest Speaker Dale Barlow preached today a powerful message about 'encounters with the Holy Spirit, listen to him share personal encounters that can help shape lives.

Marion Knell preached from Acts 15 ‘What’s on the Menu’? in our series INVITED. She shared this quote:
‘Every culture in the world is foreign to someone. At first it’s scary, then irritating, then maddening. To survive you have to grab it, fall in love with it and make it yours. God understands. He did it too.’
Our Challenges
What are the challenges we face?
What resources are at our disposal? Songs, instruments, downloads, welcome materials, languages
How can we get involved in the communities around us? Language classes, visiting, work with children, special events, warm spaces

Aaron McGovern brings today sermon from the series 'Invited' - The Elephant at the Table, Reading from Acts 9:10-22 Aaron asks:
Who can you trust?
What is trust?
How do we trust?

Lessons to learn:
God’s optimism
Meet people where they are
Multiple Identities

He concluded with:
- Will you take a risk to trust and be vulnerable?
- Will you meet people where they are, like Jesus did?

Aaron preached on Acts 10:1-48 'Every one has a place at the table' part 3 of our invited series.
Lessons to learn:
- I shouldn’t be here…
- Humility before one another
- Recognise God’s bigger picture
Do you know that you have a place at the table?
Do you know that God is drawing and inviting others to their seats?

Guest speaker Tom Head brilliantly demonstrated in his preach that everyone is invited, in part 3 of our invited series.
