Changed Lives
John 20:19­20, is possibly one of the most amazing pieces of Scripture, it is a story
that would change the lives of the disciples forever. And it's a story that has
changed countless lives and is still changing lives today. It's Easter Sunday evening and the disciples were together in a room with the doors
locked, out of fear. Jesus came and stood among them and said, 'Peace be with
you.' After He had said this He showed them His hands and side, and the disciples
were overjoyed to see their friend. Instead of confronting His friends and asking why they had deserted Him, He came
among them and said, 'Peace be with you.' At that moment their guilt was forgiven,
peace came upon them, and then unspeakable joy. And that is what happens to every man, woman and child when they meet the
Resurrected Christ for that very first time and put their trust in Him. It might be through a preacher speaking in church, through the testimony of a
friend, through someone you work with silently getting on with life (but you know
there's something different about them). There can be many ways that we find
Jesus and then continue to follow Him. But the main reason we can put our trust in Him, is that He went to the cross and
died to take away each one of our sins, and that is the greatest thing that anyone
could do for us. Guilt, fear, anger, shame, loneliness and death were left on the cross that first
Easter. Our lives have been changed by the One True Christ, who died to take
away all our sin and rose again three days later. That is why we celebrate! Hallelujah for changed lives, Hallelujah He is risen! God bless, Pastor Mike

House of Prayer
We give God all the glory and praise for answered prayers at the Healing
Service last month. Fiona has since slept well and feels energised, despite still
being in pain, which is a first in a very long time. Thank you Lord! Please
continue to keep Fiona and others in your prayers. Prayer is powerful and we invite you to share your stories to encourage others
as they wait for God to breakthrough into their situation. Please email the Office
at [email protected] with your testimonies of God answering
prayer.
ANSWERED PRAYERS
Please continue to pray for the Bowness Methodists as we move forward in our
