Lent Bible Study Week 5

Hi folks

Throughout our Lenten Bible Studies we have looked at several important and essential aspects of our Christian life and practice. We have considered the importance of Prayer, Bible Reading and Study, Sharing our Faith, and Serving God. The final study in the set is about having the drive to keep going when all else is against us - our Hope for the future.

It might seem that this is simply a reward - that one day we will be with Jesus - but it is much more important than that! Paul spoke of "love" in 1 Corinthians 13, yet he finished the chapter by speaking of three things that are ultimately left when we boil everything down: Faith, Hope and Love.

Our Faith involves our reason to follow Jesus, and the decision we have taken that He died for us.

Our Love is the "X Factor" that is inherent in our actions everyday, as we live for Jesus.

Our Hope is that we will be called by Jesus to meet with Him in the air, and to live with him forever!

Here are the detailed notes, and if you have any questions about anything we have studied, or just a query about any aspect of your Christian experience or life - just contact me at any time!

Regards

Johnny

Hiroshima Remembrance

Shortly afterwards, they dropped a similar device on another Japanese city of Nagasaki. Between the two events, over 200,000 people died, and Japan surrendered - ending the Second World War. The ripples from these two horrific events are still felt today, and the lessons from them are more relevant in today's world than ever before! Each day we hear about the tensions around the world regarding nations developing nuclear weapons, threatening to release havoc upon the world. Although the weapons are often referred to as deterants, the danger is that the whole world could be effectively ended within minutes if someone decided to release their particular weapon upon an enemy state! I pray that today reminds the world leaders about the absolute devastation that these weapons bring. They do not distinguish between combatants or civilians. ...

August Hymns and Readings

Hi folks Here's the next list for the readings, readers and hymns for our services throughout August. There are five Sundays this month, and in our normal pattern, our fifth Sunday will be a Cafe Church service in the Parish Hall. As ever - this is just a guide, if you need to swap your date - just let someone know. Thank you to everyone who has volunteered to read each month, and if you'd like to join the list, please let the church wardens or the Rector know. If we need to do so, both David and the Rector are more than happy to fill in for any given reading!
