If you long to see renewal and revival break out in Batemans Bay, our diocese and our nation please join us. You’re not alone We live in a world where we often feel alone, yet in the the commissioning of his disciples (Matt 28:16-20) Jesus reminds us that he is “with [us] always, to the end of the age.” We can take comfort from this because wherever we go and whatever we are doing for Jesus he goes with us. In this week’s Old Testament passage we are reminded that the “battle is not [ours] but God’s” and to “not fear or be dismayed [for] the Lord will be with [us]” ( 2 Chron 20:15&17). As disciples of Jesus I like the idea that Jesus is with us until the job is done and that it is God who changes people’s hearts, wins the battle, and makes people want to follow Jesus.
