Westminster Confession Of Faith – Lord’s Day 24

Chapter 15 – Of Repentance Unto Life (Cont.) (Paragraphs 4-6)

IV. As there is no sin so small but it deserves damnation; so there is no sin so great that it can bring damnation upon those who truly repent.
V. Men ought not to content themselves with a general repentance, but it is every man’s duty to endeavour to repent of his particular sins, particularly.
VI. As every man is bound to make private confession of his sins to God, praying for the pardon thereof, upon which, and the forsaking of them, he shall find mercy: so he that scandalises his brother, or the Church of Christ, ought to be willing, by a private or public confession and sorrow for his sin, to declare his repentance to those that are offended; who are thereupon to be reconciled to him, and in love to receive him.

Continuing in the concluding season of our 2 Kings series Power Without Glory.
Our sermon ‘The Best At Being The Worst’ shows the impact which rejecting God and his grace has on those around us, and on the legacy which it leaves for those who follow.

For those unable to join us at MGPC, the service will be live-streamed.
The video is available at our website and youtube channel.

NRL counts the cost of players not able to participate in this round due to State of Origin fatigue (how anyone who participated in that game can back up three or four days later is beyond comprehension), of more concern are injuries which are longer term considerations. Although it looks like more coaches have fallen by the wayside this week than players.
AFL is carrying out the battle for eighth place in the eight, while some of the leading teams have mid-year stumbles. Weirdly the sure things were the wrong things last week.

Gigantor would probably not be known to anyone under 50.

His proper name is Nijūhachi-gō, literally “Iron Man No. 28” but that was sort of taken in English, so ‘Gigantor.’

Previously owned by another collector it has taken up residence here in the Batcave.
