The mystery in Finchley
Dan Strange
East Finchley Baptist Church inducted John
Lowrie into the pastorate on 9 September.
Dr David Smith, the former Principal of
Northumbria Bible College where John was
a student, preached on Ephesians 6.18-20.
One cannot preach without
the promise
and confidence that the congregation are
praying. Referring to cross-cultural ministry,
he quoted Thielicke’s memorable statement: ‘The gospel must be repeatedly forwarded to
a new address because the recipient is repeatedly changing places of residence’.
