Welcome July 21 2013
Welcome to Unley Park Baptist today. It is great to have you
with us. If you are new to
Unley Park, we appreciate that it can be daunting to walk into a
new church, so as much
as we can, we want to help you feel at home here.
In the pew in front of you please find a black folder that
contains a white care card foryou to complete.
There is also a "Welcome Pack" available for you that, among
other things, has a special
Care Card for you to record your visit and for us to follow up
any requests you make.
All Care Cards should be "posted" as you leave the church, in
the locked box on the table
by the "Baptistry Door".

Just a MinuteThe other day I decided to run a registry cleaner
on my computer. As the program
started to inspect close to half a million files I could see all
these numbers and letters
flashing before my eyes.
All of them represented files that were being inspected,
thousands upon thousands of
them, all going so quickly across my screen. I could only see
some of them, butpresumably every one of them was important to
me.
I couldnt help look at this thing that was happening before my
eyes and wonder,
Are all those files necessary?
How many are useful every day?
How many do I only need once in a blue moon?
If I randomly deleted some of them, would I notice much
difference?
Which of these files are essential and which ones are
optional?
In a strange way it made me think about the Church. Paul writes
about the body ofChrist this way,
1The eye cannot say to the hand, I dont need you! And the head
cannot say to the
feet, I dont need you!22
On the contrary, those parts of the body that seem to be
weaker are indispensable,23
and the parts that we think are less honorable we treat
with special honor. And the parts that are unpresentable are
treated with special
modesty,24
while our presentable parts need no special treatment. But God
has put the
body together, giving greater honor to the parts that lacked
it,25
so that there should
be no division in the body, but that its parts should have equal
concern for each other.26If one part suffers, every part suffers
with it; if one part is honored, every part
rejoices with it.Let your mind quickly scan the body of Christ
and the tens of thousands of people who
are part of it.
Would we notice if some went missing?
How important is every person?
Which ones make the most impact?
Read those verses again and let yourself be surprised. No part
of the body can say toanother part, I dont need youand heres the
kicker, ourpresentable parts need no
special treatment. But God has put the body together, giving
greater honor to the
parts that lacked it.What a body!
I want you to do something. Go and scan your registry and watch
all those files race
before your eyes. As they vanish as quickly as they appear, just
hit the pause button and
look at the file that is frozen on your screen.
That is you! Then thank God that you are not just a blur in Gods
eyes but you are known
and loved by Him!
God Bless
Neil

The Bible Mini-Series
Can you remember a time before when a major network like Channel
Nine went to air in
prime time with a series about the Bible? It seems to us like
this is history in the making
for Australia and given the power and reach of the Nine Network,
we are standing on
the verge of a monumental opportunity as the Church in this
nation.
THE BIBLE is an epic 10-hour mini-series that will bring the
Bible into homes across
Australia starting last Tuesday nightJuly 16th at 9PM.
Televisions highly-acclaimedproducer, Mark Burnett (The Voice,
Survivor, The Apprentice), and his wife, Roma
Downey (Touched by An Angel) are bringing the most widely-read
book of all time to life
on the screen, with breathtaking beauty and the use of dramatic
live action and cutting-
edge CGI technology.

We have still not heard anything from the Australian Embassy
(and can't seem to get any information either) about the
status of the girls visas and with the new school year
starting
in just over a week, we have needed to make some decisions.
These have not been easy and we have been feeling quite
stressed about the enormity of the uncertainty (which
includes the knowledge that our landlord wants us to move
out by the end of August). Please pray for a peace that
surpasses all understanding as we wait out this final stage.
It's great to be worshipping with our UPBC family this
morning. We look forward to sharing with you this morning
and we always appreciate your interest and prayers for ourfamily
and ministry. Please join us in praying for revival to
sweep through the nation of Japan in a mighty and
miraculous way.
