A number of Dapto Anglican Church (DAC) families experienced some firsts this week…

• the first day of preschool,
• the first day of school,
• the first day of work,
• the first day of coping after a challenging event.

When most people first start university they go to every lecture and tutorial in the early weeks but then reality sets in.

Many of us experience the same burst of enthusiasm when we first become Christians.  It seems natural to talk about Jesus and to be excited about the great news of salvation through faith in Christ.  However the naturalness of sharing our hope seems to get overwhelmed by our busy lives and personal insecurities.

Today we start a series which we pray will restore your enthusiasm and encourage you to promote the gospel as a normal and natural way of life.  It is not about adding more activities into your diary but a challenge to be more Christian in your everyday encounters.

We promote Jesus with our words and actions, with our prayers and thoughts, and with our work and leisure. We promote Him because He lives with in us through His Spirit.  Over the next 9 weeks the goal is that our heart for God will beat so profoundly, that all the people around us, will see Jesus in us.

Senior Pastor.
