What's coming up this Christmas at Rock International?

Sunday 9th: Church service at 17:00 at our house Harald Bjerkesgate 26. Mark 14:53-72.

Wednesday 12th: Church Bible study at 19:30 at our house Harald Bjerkesgate 26. Romans 8 (first part). The Bible study group will break over Christmas, starting up again on the 2nd January.



NEXT SUNDAY, 16th December is a SPECIAL GUEST SERVICE.
Venue will be KRONA (in town - above Coop, near the Post Office)

Debby's Dad, Frank Retief, a gifted speaker and evangelist, known the world over for sharing the gospel clearly and simply from the Bible, will be speaking to us on the St. James Massacre. In 1993 gunmen came into the church and attacked the congregation of around 1500 people with AK47s and grenades.
How do you cope with violence and suffering as a Christian?
Is Christianity even relevant in the "real world"?
Is God powerless or powerful?
Does God even know our sufferings? Does he care?
During his festive season we celebrate that he does care. Jesus came and suffered with us, for us. And he has set aside a day, his return, when all evil will be wiped out, and will be no more.


Invite your friends, neighbours, colleagues, people in the street....! This is a fantastic opportunity for people to hear about Jesus.


Church services will continue through the Christmas period:
Sunday 23rd, 17:00. Mark 15 Jesus' trial.
Monday 24th (Julaften): No service at Rock International, but we recommend joining with many of our fellow citizens of our beautiful town at the Folkekirke in the centre of town. (The big red brick church). At 16:00 we can join in and wish everyone "God Jul!"
Sunday 30th, 17:00. Mark 15-16 Jesus' crucifixion, burial and resurrection ("You can't keep a good man down"!)
And that brings us to the end of Mark's gospel! Momentous good news indeed: Jesus is the Messiah (Christ), the Son of God

In January we'll start with the book of Amos - and we'll see that this prophet's words to Israel hundreds of years before Christ are surprisingly relevant to us today in Norway. The whole Bible speaks about Jesus, and Amos is no exception. Get excited! The Lord speaks today!
