“The story of the church member who had never met Christ”

He had the privilege of listening to the preached Word of God.

He had the privilege of seeing true miracles performed before his eyes

He had the privilege of believing and being baptised.

He had the privilege of regularly attending church – member of the church.

You may ask, surely, he was a Christian?

How can we refer to him as a church member who had never met Christ?

Proof:

His belief was just head knowledge and not heart knowledge.

He thought the Holy Spirit could be bought with money.

His heart was not right with God.

Acts 8:21: Peter says, “For your heart is not right before God.”

People look at the outward appearance, the outward profession, the hypocrisy and it’s easy to deceive people BUT GOD looks at the heart.

Proved it by never truly repenting of his sin but he only had a superficial profession for his own gain.

vs.22: Peter says, “Repent of this wickedness and pray to the Lord. Perhaps He will forgive you for having such a thought in your heart.

What of us today?

We too have had the privilege to:

Listen to the gospel message

Maybe we have seen the miracles

 Maybe we have made an outward confession of belief, been baptised and regularly attend church.

BUT you have never truly had an encounter with the Lord Jesus Christ.

Let us make certain of our salvation – remember we can fool people with our outward appearance BUT the Lord looks at the heart.

Please continue praying for them as they settle into Mount Isa.

The idea is that if you just want to pop in, say a quick prayer, and leave, that’s okay, but if we as a church want to see the Lord moving in our church, if we want growth in our spiritual lives and growth in the church, that is where it needs to start.

2Chronicles 7:14: “If my people who are called by my name humble themselves, and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land"

These are the final two people groups we will highlight for May Missions Month.

During May, we will pray for two people groups associated with Baptist Mission Australia.
