CRU Update

Last Friday, the CRU group met again at lunchtime in the Christian Studies Centre to gather as God’s people and hear God’s Word from Ollie Hurt who led last week’s session. We looked at a passage from Acts 4 which Ryan Gilmour spoke on. Ryan unpacked the story of the healing of a lame man who was over 40 years old which was performed in the name of Jesus Christ. Those opposed to Jesus realised Peter and John had performed a miraculous sign that was undeniable, and didn’t know what to do, so they commanded Jesus’ Disciples not to speak about Jesus anymore. But Peter and John were filled with the Holy Spirit and could not stop sharing the incredible Gospel of Jesus’ resurrection. In this passage, we heard the Holy Spirit at work in Peter and John, and in the people who praised God and came to faith in Him as they saw this miracle.

Ryan helpfully shared that it is all about Jesus and that this was a sign pointing to how salvation is found only through Jesus’ death and resurrection.

He mentioned that because of Jesus’ sacrifice for our forgiveness, we have an eternity to look forward to of incomprehensible peace as described in the prophecy of Isaiah. We then split off into discussion groups to dive deeper into this passage and spend some time praying to our Heavenly Father.

Next week we will continue exploring the book of Acts and would love to see more boys coming along to the Christian Studies Centre to hear the Gospel.
