Welcome July 28 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 MinuteThis week the news has been all about the birth of a baby boy to William and Kate. This

little man is now third in line to the throne. A baby destined to be the 43rd monarch

since William the Conqueror obtained the English crown in 1066.

The world had been holding their breath waiting, and then the news came that Kate had

gone into labour. I was watching TV at one point after that and the station came in with

“Breaking News’. It was, ‘Kate’s labour is progressing well!’

In a day of tweets and news feeds we were always going to know the instant anything

happened with the birth. Barely a day old, the proud parents showed their baby to the

crowd outside St Mary’s hospital, but of course it was seen simultaneously around the

world.

We heard all the familiar comments about having big lungs, his mother’s good looks andthat the baby had more hair than his father!

It was a lovely moment for the family and for the world as it watched. But there is

something missing – a name! Right now he is just ‘the boy’. He has a fancy title, Prince

of Cambridge, but no name!

Is he going to be Albert, George or James or…..?

The greatest news this world has ever received involved the birth of a baby. He was the

King of Kings and the Lord of Lords. For hundreds of years some people waited for hisbirth but when it happened few were prepared for it.

There was no breaking news to the world, just a message from the angels to a few

shepherds out in the fields who were looking after their flock. No one gathered outside

the manger for a ‘first-look. But I’m sure Mary and Joseph made some familiar

comments about their baby like every other new parent.

This baby also had a title but it was unlike any other royal baby. His title was Immanuel –

which means, God with us [Matthew 1:23]. This baby also had a name unlike any otherroyal name. The angel came to Joseph and said, you are to give him the name Jesus,

because he will save his people from their sin [Matthew 1:21]

This week the world welcomed a royal baby via twitter and news feeds. 2000 years after

his birth, Jesus is still welcomed into the hearts of all who crown him Lord and Saviour.

The English Monarchy is temporary but when Isaiah wrote about Jesus coming into the

world he said,

Of the increase of his government and peace there will be no end. He will reign on

David ’s throne and over his Kingdom, establishing and upholding it with justice and

righteousness from that time and forever. [Isaiah 9:7]

God Bless

Neil
