We Find Our Rest in Him

We have been continuing a theme of God's grace in our meetings and this last Sunday, Sue Moore gave a remarkable testimony of encountering God as a young mother and in this encounter, the sense of finding "rest in Him". We can all strive to do various things in our lives and find that the achievement - owning a house, our dream job, marriage, children etc - is hollow. It is Augustine of Hippo who said "Thou hast formed us for Thyself, and our hearts are restless until they find rest in Thee".

Our God is the God who pursues us with love and as we come to Him in faith, we have nothing to bring except ourselves - weak and broken. He has done it all and this Easter season brings into sharp focus, Jesus' obedience and His sacrifice for the sins of the world.

Sue's testimony which is on this web site (clock on the Listen tab and then Sunday talks), is a wonderful story of God's grace (a free gift and also empowering presence). Thank you God!
