Letter To Parishioners
Reading: 1 Peter 2.17 Dear Friends,
A young man was being interviewed for the post of an usher at a theatre. The proprietor asked him what he would do in the case of a fire. The young man told the proprietor not to worry about him he would escape quite easily. He did not get the job - why? Simple, because he did not even think of his responsibilities towards others. In light of what we have heard this evening about the Faithfulness of God and the Servanthood of Jesus - what are our responsibilities in response? I believe they fall into three categories:
Towards God
Towards Authority
Towards Others
Towards God - in our reading Peter tells us that we are to Fear God. Our responsibility to God is to fear Him - not in a servile way but in a loving response to an awesome holy God. Our fear is not that we are frightened of Him but out of respect and love for Him we have a reverential fear of Him. So our first responsibility is to ensure that we are in a right relationship with God through Christ Jesus. We enter that relationship when we make a conscious decision to repent of our sin, seek God’s forgiveness and follow Him. When we are in this right relationship then everything else in our life falls under His authority and control. We no longer live for ourselves but for Christ. Our lives therefore reflect our responsibilities towards Him - which are to honour
HOLYTRINITYWOODBURN
4 June2016
and obey Him. This we do here on earth each day. Our response to God leads us to two positive and public responsibilities:
Towards Authority - Peter tells us we are to honour the king - that is the secular authority of our day. Please note we fear God and honour the king. That is important - our allegiance to Christ is above that to any earthly authority or institution. Peter exhorts us to obey the civil authorities because they are divinely-ordained and ordered. The reason for this public discipline in the life of a Christian is so that other people would recognise the virtue of a Christian life. We are by our obedience to the civil authorities to set an example to the world. An example that will restrain others from doing evil and an example that will commend the Lord whom we serve. We are by our example to promote and encourage good conduct and to prevent moral corruption.
Towards Others - A young lawyer negotiated a very long and detailed contract. He was rather proud of his work when finished and he took it to the senior partner. The senior partner read the contract and began to shake his head over and over again. The young lawyer was very surprised at this. The senior partner turned to him when he had finished reading and said “This is a fine contract you have negotiated, but - you have forgotten the other fellow. No contract is sound which neglects the rights of the other party.” How many Christians forget the rights of the other party. When we have fulfilled our responsibility to God we are compelled to fulfill our responsibilities to our neighbours - both inside and outside the fellowship of the Church.
Jesus taught this over and over again. The parable of the Good Samaritan is probably His best-known teaching on this subject. Elsewhere Jesus tells us we cannot love God if we do not love our brother. So our responsibility flows from God, to the legal civil authority down to our day-to-day relationship with other people. Peter tells us that this responsibility is to be characterised by love. We hear
HOLYTRINITYWOODBURN
5 June2016
the words of Jesus in every communion service - “Love you neighbour as yourself” - none of us would do anything to hurt ourselves physically, mentally or spiritually - we are therefore to act in the same way to others.
As Christians we have freedom in Christ Jesus and as Peter says we are no longer citizens of earth but of heaven - yet we are called to live our Christian lives here on earth until God calls us home or He comes again. Our Christian freedom comes with responsibilities - responsibilities towards God, towards the civil authorities and towards others. When you look at this it forms the shape of the cross - the vertical our relationship and responsibility to God, the horizontal our relationship and responsibility to others - both in authority and neighbours.
Yours in Christ

Please do continue to make use of our prayer request box situated in the front hall of the church. The prayer team usually meets on Thursdays to pray through these slips. The slips will be lifted in prayer 4 times (usually over 4 weeks but may be over a longer period). As always, be assured that information on the slips remains confidential.
The team will also be available for prayer at the front of the church after the Sunday morning service. Should you require prayer in a more confidential space please ask us to move into the prayer room with you and we will be happy to do so. We would encourage you to complete a prayer slip after you have attended for prayer so that we can continue to pray for your situation when we meet together.

PLUS Pilates Classes for men and women.
Weigh-in, Talk & Aerobics Well we’ve seen a little sunshine recently and no doubt the T-shirts were out. Did they fit? Sorry to be so blunt, but
don’t despair.
Our Clean Eating Plan will help you to lose weight and eat properly and by that, I mean, nothing that comes in a box.
At the class there is a weigh-in, talk and exercise. Your first week costs £15 which includes your first class, a booklet, a 7 day plan and a link to the Clean Eating Plan for you to download.
Come along on Tuesdays from 10 - 11.15am, don’t leave it until the week before your holiday.
***Please note that a special class will be starting from Sunday 4th September, to raise funds for Uganda but if you want to start NOW, then come to me in June.***
Pilates
Join us on a Thursday morning from 10 - 11am. Pilates is done on a mat on the floor. We use our own body weight, yoga blocks and bender balls to make it all fun and challenging. Pilates is fantastic for stretching out your body, correcting your posture, helping your back and strengthening your tummy muscles and core.
