with Hebrews 11:35-40 -
Christ in the faith of the "losers"!
Together we'll see the beauty of Christ, because It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. Galatians 2:20

Serving & Celebrating with our community

This weekend there will be the 60th Mezzolara di Budrio Onion Fair.
These local events are typical in Italian rural cultural contexts and represent a time for families and friends to join together at the end of the summer. So it's common to see young families with little ones enjoying food and music together, as well as fathers and their teenage kids cooking at the BBQ and serving together at the tables.

Tonight, Sunday and Monday as church family we'll participate in various ways at this event. Six of us will serve at the tables, while others will dine at the food stand.
 

This is one of the many ways we want to serve and celebrate with our community, to make new friendships and to consolidate others, to live and share the joy of the Gospel among people!

God's Word in our church!

In this sessions we'll also interact with Stuart Olyott's book Preaching pure and simple.

Tomorrow we'll engage with the first chapter:
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.
