Message from the interim moderator

From the Church of Scotland Presbytery of Perth

The new presbytery starts at a time when many are wearied with the pandemic and wondering about the future with climate change, war in Ukraine, rising prices, etc.

In the midst of all the uncertainties we affirm the lasting truth, secure hope and dynamic relevance of “Jesus Christ, the same yesterday, today and forever”.

It is not a case of “Why don’t they?” but “Why don’t we? Let us…” for all Christians are in the front-line representing Jesus.

The first of the 5 marks of mission from which all others logically follow is to proclaim the Good News of the kingdom. Below in simple language is a summary of the Good News all Christians have to share.

We deal with an active God, operational in Creation and in the life, death and resurrection of Jesus. He has promised to be at work in and through the lives of all Christians. As we head towards Easter, what a great dimension for our thinking and dynamic for our living: security, purpose, hope and power in and through Jesus!

Isn’t that an exciting thought with which head up towards Easter in a new Presbytery with a fresh vision!

God’s Invitation

God made the world and all its creatures
with people made in His image.

By breaking His laws people have broken contact with God
and damaged His good world.

This we see and sense in the world and in ourselves.

The Bible tells us the Good News that God still loves us
and has shown His love uniquely in His Son, Jesus Christ.

He lived among us and died on the cross to save us from our sin. But God raised Him from the dead!

In His love, this living Jesus invites us to turn from our sins
and enter by faith into a restored relationship with God
Who gives true life before and beyond death.

Then with the power of the Holy Spirit remaking us like Jesus
we – with all Christians – worship God, enjoy His Friendship and are available for Him to use in showing and sharing His love, justice and peace locally and globally until Jesus returns!

In Jesus’ name we gladly share with you God’s message for all people – “You matter to God” – and invite you to accept His invitation.
