Welcome to The Gap Presbyterian Church |
|
We are a Church Community made up of a collection of families; dads, mums, youth and kids with a sprinkle of granddads and grandmas. Young and old are all important so we for cater for those who like hymns and those who like more modern songs. We are neither happy clappers nor the frozen chosen. Most of all we are very genuine in our love for Jesus Christ, for each other and for the wider community. So we are always happy to welcome new people into our Church family. |

This is a modern building with: Tiered Seating Air Conditioning Kitchen Facilities State of the art audio visual systems Seperate creche with Video from main Auditorium Additional large open plan room for kids activities
God encouraged us to move by wrecking our Church with a massive storm. You can watch a movie about this by clicking the menue item “Feature Videos.”
We are moving out of our comfort zone and into a space which the community is familiar. It is our hope and prayer that people who come will enjoy meeting with God. We really would like you to join us this Sunday.

Luke 7:18-35 Is God for real?: Luke 7:18-35What I love and hate about Jesus is that he is surprisingly surprising. I love the way he spins people out, he touches the untouchables, he has dinner with hardened criminals. But I hate the way he sometimes surprises me by allowing me to suffer far too much, as far as I’m concerned.  Not what you expected? John the Baptist was a full on Prophet of God. No one in all of history can compare to his dedication to God. But even John asked Jesus whether he was the one he hoped for. So if John can have doubts how much more should we expect to sometimes struggle. What is surprising is that Jesus assures John of who he is by doing a bunch of miracles. After that Jesus praises John, even though he had just questioned Christ as to his true identity. So it is ok for us to struggle with doubt. Perhaps Jesus wasn’t ministering in the way John expected. After all he was in prison, and Jesus seemed to be gathering to himself a large crowd of no hopers instead of overthrowing their nations enemies or cleansing the Church of religious hypocrites. Sometimes Jesus doesn’t work the way we expect him to in our lives. He can allow some pretty hard stuff to happen. The trick then is to learn to recognise Christ in our lives, to see and hear Jesus working despite painful circumstances, people or experiences. Today I hope to encourage you to learn to see and hear Jesus within John’s story, your own story and our community’s story. the Rev
