Welcome to the Parish of Modbury and Golden Grove

​​​​

It’s hard for us to imagine first century Rome, without any of the church

buildings we’re so accustomed to. The tiny minority of Christians there met in

the homes of anyone who had enough space. Paul writes to them just as Jewish-background believers were gradually returning after a five year absence, and are disturbed to find that key events in their history

have been sidelined - especially the promise God had made to Abraham about his blessing all nations through the Jews, which was later fulfilled in Jesus. Paul tells the Romans that the church family is formed of believing Jews and believing Gentiles together. As in Abraham’s example, we are saved not by our own merits but by trusting in God’s promise. The successful tax-collector, the important synagogue leader, and the woman with an ailment that made her ritually unclean all faced the question of where their trust is, especially when others disapprove of Jesus. Even for us, going public on our faith will probably get mixed reactions from others.

We too can only identify as Christian because of the simple truth of the gospel. Like the Roman church, we become one family not because we earned it, but because Christ did. As we work towards growing solid relationships based on this common faith, may God guide us together in all our ways and direction.
