Joseph

Janet Quarry outlines the main and tragic events in Joseph’s life. Whilst Joseph had no control over these events and what happened to him as a result, he did have control over how he responded to them. God promises to be with us, we don’t need to be defined by our upbringing, by the events and circumstances imposed upon us – instead, we can allow God to bring about good in all circumstances, to mould us and make us powerful and effective servants in his hand.

Keeping our attention on the things of God

Richard challenges us to retain our focus on the things of God as described by Paul in Phil 4v8-9. Social media and other commercial organisations understand the value of our attention and treat it like a commodity. We need to learn how to retain focus and not allow our attention to be won by unhelpful distractions. When we focus on God and pay him attention, we are aligned with him; learn to see him working in our lives; hear his voice and understand his will for both our lives and for our church.

Jesus in Leviticus

Paul Rhodes shows how Jesus is made manifest in in each of the sacrifices (Burnt, Peace, Sin & Trespass) and Feasts (Sabbath, Passover, Firstfruits, Pentecost, Trumpets, Atonement, Tabernacles) as described in Leviticus. Jesus has fulfilled the sacrifices and will complete the fulfilment of the feasts As part of the fulfilment of the feast of Tabernacles, we‘re encouraged to pray for the revival and appropriate the work of Christ in his sacrifice for personal and collective benefit

Claire talks to us about her work at Guinebor 2 hospital in Chad as well as a short devotion from Proverbs 3 v 5-6.

Trinitarian Grace

On Trinity Sunday, Revd Ian Millgate explores the doctrine of the trinity using Paul's final greetings from 2 Corinthians 13 v 14, that we often call The Grace and use as a benediction - the Grace of the Lord Jesus Christ; the Love of God and the Fellowship of the Holy Spirit.
