It was quite moving to see your response to the message last Sunday. As I opened my eyes after praying, I saw almost everyone in the room, including young people through to senior adults, standing in worship surrendered to God...
I want to ask two questions today, something for you to think about as we head into Sunday. Who is God to you? What attributes of His character come to mind first?
Why is it that I am still tempted by things that I know aren’t good for me? Why can’t I seem to break free from the hold that this habit has on me? Will there ever be a time that I will think more about living God’s way than my way?
Wouldn’t it be amazing to be able to think like Jesus, to see things the way he does and make decisions with his insight? What an advantage that would be for every aspect of life and ministry, to know for sure that we are doing the right thing at the right time all the time.
“I'm hungry!” That's what my kids will say to me even right after having finished their entire supper. Any parent will know that what they are looking for is not more of what they've just eaten but something different.
“When they saw the star, they were overjoyed. On coming to the house, they saw the child with his mother Mary, and they bowed down and worshipped him."
When you think about Christmas, what comes to mind? If you’re like me, my first thoughts are often about all of the extra events that I will have to attend, the presents I need to buy for the people on my list,,,
