Ferragosto as Gospel Opportunity

Tomorrow we'll have a traditional Ferragosto evening, which is an Italian Harvest Festival.
The Feriae Augusti (Augustus' Holidays),
introduced by Emperor Augustus in 18 BC,
were a public holiday to celebrate the harvest and the end of a period of intense agricultural work.

Nowadays is traditional to have a BBQ,
so we decided to invite @ our home
some new friends alongside our church family.

We want to celebrate Ferragosto as a Gospel opportunity, rejoicing in the way God makes the Gospel seed to sprout in the hearts of men, knowing that in our Gospel labour, 
we can rest in the certainty of His Harvest!

For as the rain and the snow come down from heaven and do not return there but water the earth, making it bring forth and sprout, giving seed to the sower and bread to the eater, so shall my word be that goes out from my mouth; it shall not return to me empty, but it shall accomplish that which I purpose, and shall succeed in the thing for which I sent it.

Isaiah 55:10-11

God's Word in our church!

What is Preaching?

In his book, Olyott insists that a sermon should be rooted in accurate exegesis, characterized by doctrinal substance, Christ–centredness and supernatural authority, as well as being clear, direct, vivid, helpful and moving.
