Welcome – 22 November 2021

As you know by now, the Lord is bringing some exciting changes to Knysna Baptist. Suddenly we are plunged into an era of imaginations and hopes,and anxiety and cares. I have found the Psalms to be a beautiful fortress for all of this, because these songs always lead us to Christ, who is a Strong tower and Refuge, a Delighter of hearts and Companion of the righteous.

 Psalm 20:2-5

May he send you help from the sanctuary and give you support from Zion!

May he remember all your offerings and regard with favor your burnt sacrifices! Selah
May he grant you your heart's desire and fulfill all your plans!
May we shout for joy over your salvation, and in the name of our God set up our banners! May the LORD fulfill all your petitions!


The best thing we can all do, amid all these exciting and wondrous events, is pray. Pray together, and commit ourselves to His will and His ways!

“For if we have been united with him in a death like his, we shall certainly be united with him in a resurrection like his. We know that our old self was crucified with him in order that the body of sin might be brought to nothing, so that we would no longer be enslaved to sin. For one who has died has been set free from sin. Now if we have died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him.” 

Romans 6:5-8

Welcome Church Family
I would like to encourage you with the objective surety we have in Jesus Christ. Paul is expressing the fact, believers share and have the life of Christ. Just as a limb grafted into a tree shares the life of the tree. The life of Christ is our life now. By being united with Christ, we should be encouraged, knowing that once truly saved, we are always eternally saved. This union cannot be broken. Amen! Let us rejoice together this morning in light of this truth. Let us praise His Holy name. Let us stand and lift up our voices, alive in Jesus Christ. 
Matthew

Welcome – 10 October 2021

Having purified your souls by your obedience to the truth for a sincere brotherly love, love one another earnestly from a pure heart, since you have been born again, not of perishable seed but of imperishable, through the living and abiding word of God; for “All flesh is like grass and all its glory like the flower of grass. The grass withers, and the flower falls, but the word of the Lord remains forever.” And this word is the good news that was preached to you.

 1Pe 1:22-25

Greetings fellow saints of the Lord Most High. God has redeemed us and washed us clean with the precious blood of Christ.  We have been given a new life by the Word of God, therefore we should love one another earnestly from a pure heart.

Join us today as we dig deeper into His Word and hear the good news being preached!

Blessings,Mark

But you
must remember, beloved, the predictions of the apostles of our Lord Jesus
Christ. They said to you,
“In the
last time there will be scoffers, following their own ungodly passions.” It is
these who cause divisions, worldly people, devoid of the Spirit. But you,
beloved, building yourselves up in your most holy faith and praying in the Holy
Spirit, keep yourselves in the love of God, waiting for the mercy of our Lord
Jesus Christ that leads to eternal life. And have mercy on those who doubt;
save others by snatching them out of the fire; to others show mercy with fear,
hating even the garment stained by the flesh.

                                                                                                                                                  Jud
1:17-23

Greetings Saints of the Lord most
high.  In a world full of division and
distrust, we the Church must have a spirit of unity.  Join us today as we delve deeper into God’s
word, as we sing His praises, and grow together.


Blessings,

Mark

For day and night your hand was heavy upon me; my strength was sapped as in the heat of summer. 
Selah

Then I acknowledged my sin to you and did not cover up my iniquity. I said, "I will confess my transgressions to the LORD"– and you forgave the guilt of my sin. 

Selah 
(Psalm 32:4-5)
God is faithful to press his heavy hand on us when we harbour any sin. Such a loving Father, who disciplines his children for their benefit! And His intention is clear: to Forgive our Guilt. This is the incredible Grace of God in Jesus. The absolute removal of our debt, by the Eternal payment of Jesus at His crucifixion.
Let's not take lightly the "kind" suffering of God's heavy hand, nor God's faithful determination to free us from sin, nor Christ's full and final payment
