UNITED CHURCH OF GOD

On 11th February, I was privileged to attend the Kingdom of God Seminar in Dublin as preached by Messrs David Payne and David Fenney. The Seminar was under the auspices of the international United Church of God (www.ucg.org) which has done so much to support Good Shepherd Church with resources and spiritual support.

The Seminar was excellent in content, and the mood at the gathering was joyous and expectant, with representatives who had come in from all over Ireland - some from far away - to attend the talks. Discussed were the key signs Jesus said would be manifested, important information about our opportunity to enter the Kingdom of God, and how to develop a meaningful relationship with God - all based on Jesus Christ's central teachings.

The speakers discussed Mark 1;14-15, in which Mark witnessed to Jesus' coming to Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God and saying, 'The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand. Repent and believe in the gospel.' Links were made to the great Jewish prophet Isaiah; his writing in 46;10 explained, 'I make known the end from the beginning, from ancient times, what is still to come. I say; My purpose will stand, and I will do all that I please.'' John 5;17 was also highlighted; 'Jesus said, 'My Father has been working until now and so have I.'

I found the Seminar so outstanding and inspirational personally, that I requested permission to receive the slides on the talk, and also requested permission to make the content of the Seminar known to you all. I was delighted to receive the slides which are a great help to my personal prayer life as inspiration.

I received an email apprising that if I wish to listen to a spoken version of the presentation there are several on United Church of God members' website;
