A message from Jeremy Rensford, Chair of Greater Shepparton Ministers’ Association
It’s September. For rusted on Victorians, we all know what this means, footy finals! What a wonderful time of year it is… if you follow a half decent team. I don’t, but my team Richmond was the last AFL dynasty team. When we broke our premiership drought in 2017 it was some of the most joyous moments my family have ever shared together. But that was yesterday, and today we are back at the bottom of the ladder.
It makes me reflect on what brings meaning and satisfaction to we humans. Even some of the best earthly achievements can end up feeling like we are just chasing after the wind. What brings true value to our souls? Many will identify with an unfulfilled spiritual hunger, knowing that “there must be more to life than just this”.
Jesus presents a great option, he said “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never go hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty.” He has provided billions of people with meaning, satisfaction, and well souls, and not only in this life, but super importantly, offers that and more in the life to come.
I hope your team wins this September, but even more, I pray you win in what really matters in life.
