The Life Story of the Late Dr James McConnell
APS Gospel Main editors words.
On behalf of our entire team, we wish to pay tribute to Pastor James McConnell. I never dreamed when we started the Sunday Service Series for what then looked like a three-week lockdown in March 2020. That lockdown would continue on so we decided to post some of Pastor McConnell's sermons to continue the series. We had no idea then the battle with illness he would shortly enter into and finally his passing on the 17th of July 2021. On behalf of the team at APS Gospel, we wish to send our deepest sympathies to the entire McConnell family circle & we'd ask that you would continue to pray for them in the weeks and months ahead.
Today we remember a man that loved the Lord Jesus Christ with all his heart and desired that others would come to know his Saviour and friend. This very outreach may not have even begun had it not been for the faithful witness and example that Pastor James McConnell was. I was saved under his ministry on the 4th of August 1996 which was actually the last Sunday service we just put out before his passing.
I was very blessed to sit under his ministry even after his retirement in 2014 as he continued to preach even through lockdown and win souls for the kingdom of God. It was not easy to put this post together. But I trust it will not only be a fitting tribute to the Life of Pastor James McConnell but that his life story might also reach not only the lost but perhaps inspire some Christians to seek the Lord Jesus Christ as Pastor James McConnell did and that you too would follow the Lord Jesus Christ's command in Mark 16:15 King James Version (KJV)
15 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.

Matthew 24:44 King James Version
44 Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the
Son of man cometh.
Romans 3:23 King James Version
23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
Romans 10:9-13 King James Version
9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt
believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou
shalt be saved.
10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the
mouth confession is made unto salvation.
11 For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.
12 For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the
same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him.
13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that
whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting
life. John 3:16 KJV

If you want to receive the gift of God into your heart today there's
only one thing you must accept and that is you are a sinner before God
and you can receive Him into your heart today by praying a simple
prayer just as you'd talk to a friend.
Prayer:
Lord I know that I am a sinner Lord please forgive me of my sins. I am
ready to trust you as my Lord and Saviour. Thank you, Lord Jesus, for
coming to earth to die for my sins. I believe you are the Son of God
who died and rose from the dead on the third day. Thank you for
bearing my sins and shedding your blood Lord on the cross of Calvary
and giving me the gift of eternal life. I believe your words are true.
Come into my heart, Lord Jesus save me for time and for eternity put
your Holy Spirit upon me to guard and guide me and be my Lord and
Saviour in Jesus Name Amen.
If you just prayed that prayer and really meant it this is what the
Lord Jesus Christ has promised to all who trust in Him.
John 10:28 King James Version (KJV)
28 And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish,
neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.

life. John 3:16 King James Version
John 3:36 King James Version (KJV)
36 He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that
believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth
on him.
