  • June 2015 Edition of Kirklink - Issue 6 Page 1
    Message from Rev. Jonathan Humphrey, Minister for Kirkhill and Kiltarlity In the church “calendar” we are in the season of Pentecost and taking time to look at the impact of the out-pouring of the Holy Spirit on the early believers ( see Acts 2 ). It has always struck me that something new and wonderful was created through the gift of the Holy Spirit – namely a vibrant and ever expanding Christian community. This community “devoted themselves to the apostles teaching and the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and the prayers” ( Acts 2: 42 ). For me this passage suggests that in the life of our congregations, devotion to fellowship is as important as listening to teaching ( i.e. a sermon ) or breaking bread and praying together. Jesus spent time with people and with his disciples building fellowship, comforting, challenging and encouraging. A large part of ministry, and the call on all of us as the people of God, is to build relationships and to encourage everyone to find faith and grow in it. Growing in our faith requires that we are deliberate in safeguarding our relationship with Jesus. The more we get to know Him, the more we are transformed into His likeness. This is about raising the “relationship bar” on all fronts, with God and each other. The first Christians were: “together and had all things in common. And they were selling possessions and belongings and distributing the proceeds to all as they had need. And day by day attending the temple together and breaking bread in their homes, they received their food with glad and generous hearts, praising God and having favour with all the people.” ( Acts 2: 44-47 ) This is a challenging blueprint for us all.
