Strangely Warmed
On Aldersgate Sunday, we celebrated John Wesley’s heart being “strangely warmed,” likening it to the disciples on the Road to Emmaus. We reflected on whether our hearts burn for Jesus, urging us to share His living Word. We affirmed belief in the Holy Spirit, encouraging study of key Scriptures. The pastor will lead a prayer workshop in Bulgaria, while others preach locally. As a global church, we aim to spread Jesus’ love worldwide.
