| Our rather cramped quarters in Townsville |
We had chosen St Andrews Presbyterian Church for Sunday
worship. There, the Rev Peter Barber and his Korean deputy led the service. The
sermon was from 2 Peter 1, about God’s Word being sufficient for all of life.
It was interesting, but we missed the reformed perspective which the church’s
website seemed to promise.
Joke just read in the weekend paper that our winter’s day in
Townsville is forecast to be 26ºC
while Amsterdam’s summer’s day will be 16ºC!!
No comment needed.
In the afternoon we went for a walk along the beach – hot
winter work!! :-)

In the evening we went to the John Knox
Presbyterian Church. Same federation as this morning, but what a difference in
message! The Rev Greg Watt preached on Acts 22 vv 7-12. In contrast to the
bland talk of the morning, Rev Greg really brought home not only the context of
Paul’s retelling of his conversion, but also the message in the text: that
God’s purpose with Paul was going to be carried out, despite the intentions of
Paul at that time to the contrary. There were 11 of us listening, more’s the
pity...
