Warriors for God Tim preached on the need to be warriors. Taking the queue from some of the lesser known Old Testament stories, in particular the Children of Israel's battle for the city of Ai. How they laid there own plans and tried to take the city in there own strength and were routed suffering a major defeat after the Israelites were backed into a quarry and slaughtered. After that they took the City of Ai under God’s power and strength. “Do not be discouraged or afraid I will give you victory”, says God to Joshua, in Joshua Chapter 8, before the second battle of Ai. Tim looked at taking on the enemy using the book of Ephesians analogy of putting on the full armour of God and using the sword as our offensive weapon to deflect a demonic attack from the Devil. Paul talks about the sword being the Word of the Spirit, being Spirit filled and lead and the Holy Spirit talking directly to us. Paul also tells us to pray without ceasing. Tim drew an analogy of fighting evil with his SKA band heroes “The Specials” who took on the Racist Neo-Nazi National Front in the late 1970’s in Britain and won. He encouraged us to be Warriors for God and to take on the full armour of God and God will give us the victory.

Sabbath June 27th Sabbath June 27th MBFC is unable to use the Mt Barker Town Hall. It has been decided that we will move our monthly Fellowship Tea to Sabbath the 27th and we will meet at Parker’s home for Worship and Bible Study lead by Pr Dave. We will start at 3:00pm and have tea at 5:00pm and close Sabbath together.

And Resurrection!?! Miraculously the MBFC Data Projector has been resurrected! Michael plugged it in on Sabbath afternoon and it worked – even though we had a quote for $100’s of repairs because it would not work! Not sure what this means – maybe God doesn’t want us to spend money on a New Data Projector – but we probably can raise enough between us to purchase a larger screen – If everyone is OK with this I can follow that up when I return.

Death!?! As you know the MBFC Data Projector has died and so we have been using the Stirling Church projector. They would now like their projector back – which is understandable as they have very generously let us use it all year. If we all put in about $50 we could buy a new projector. So, if you are able to contribute about $50 (more or less) to the purchase of a new Data Projector could you please let me know ASAP. Please don’t put any money into the MBFC A/C yet until we see if we can get enough money together to buy the projector. Cost of Projector $650.00 If you are able, can you please let me know how much you can contribute to the purchase of a new Data Projector? Thanks Nita
