CRU Update

At Coca Cola, their mission is for everyone in the world to be able to drink Coca Cola. But this week at CRU, we saw that our mission as Christians is far more important than any other commercial mission. 

At CRU this week, we began with the game ‘Would He Rather’, Nigel edition with our guest speaker from CRU, Nigel Vaux. Next, Nigel spoke to us on Acts 2. He spoke about how on the day called Pentecost, the Holy Spirit came upon the disciples as they were all in one room and they ran outside and began shouting to the people. People from all over the world who were there could understand what they were saying in their own language. Some people thought they were drunk! Peter stood up, not too long after he had previously denied Jesus, and preached an amazing sermon by the Holy Spirit about how Jesus is the Messiah who conquered death. The people were astonished and asked, “What should we do?” Peter told them to repent and be baptised (Acts 2:38). On that day 3,000 people believed and were baptised, that’s almost the whole Shore population!

As we reflect on this passage, we need to remember that Jesus is the King of our lives who died for our forgiveness. This story really shows the power of the Holy Spirit. We look forward to seeing more boys attending CRU next week.
