Summary: On this Sunday we 'launched' our Sunday morning, weekly public worship. It was a great occasion, as God answered prayers and brought a large number of new people to join our church. God is the only one who can grow his church. Our sermon series is focusing on our church's mission statement 'Walking with the risen Jesus' (Actually it's focusing on Jesus himself!) which springs from Luke 24, with the wonderful narrative of Jesus walking unrecognised with the two disciples on the road to Emmaus on the first Easter morning. This is a kind of template for our Christian life and mission. Jesus meets us where we are at - whether in doubt and unbelief, or joy and amazement. Jesus goes on the journey with us. Jesus is with us even when we don't recognise it. This sermon was preached at Pakenham Lakeside Church on Sunday 21st October 2018.
