Encouraging us to remember that our God is not distant. We are fully known and Loved by him (Tauren Wells). Jesus:
Shed tears (Luke 19:41)
Was filled with joy (Luke 10:21)
Was Angry and distressed (Mark 3:5)
Moved with compassion (Luke 7:13)
So let us then approach Gods throne of grace with confidence so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need (Hebrews 4:16)
Please continue to pray for those who are unwell and grieving.

Psalm 90:16-17 says:
16 Let us, your servants, see you work again; let our children see your glory.
17 And may the Lord our God show us his approval and make our efforts successful. Yes, make our efforts successful!

Another day God has blessed us with!
Today we are asking the question: What’s important? What should be the purpose and focus of life?
Jesus’ answer is very clear. Mark 12:30-31 “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength. The second is this: Love your neighbour as yourself. There is no commandment greater than these.

May the Church become a Refuge of many. When people can’t see a way forward may they flock to the throne. May we be ready, accepting, loving and Christ-centred when we provide support for our new members.

Encouraging us all to remember Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today and forever (Hebrews 13:8). My prayer is that the Spirit of the Living God will fill us so that we have the confidence to know his power and unconditional love to live as God desires us to live and impact the communities in which we serve. Amen

Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God. (1 Corinthians 1:3-4). Wherever you are and however you may feel remember God is with you.

Reflecting positively on our pioneers and all they have contributed to the kingdom of God and our lives.
They showed us that Loving God and Loving People was all that really mattered.
I encourage us from Hebrews 12:1 (NLT) Therefore since we are surrounded by such a huge crowd of witnesses to the life of faith, let us strip off every weight that slows us down, especially the sin that so easily trips us up. And let us run with endurance the race God has set before us.

Encouraging each of us today that as time is precious, it is wonderful to know that Loving God and Loving People is the purpose of our lives. So each day as we rely on the Holy Spirit and continue to Trust in the Lord with all your heart and do not rely on your own insight. (Proverbs 3:5) Listen for God’s voice in everything you do, everywhere you go; he’s the the one who will keep you on track. (Proverb 3:6 MSG)

Encouraging you to remember that the love of God offers us power, nourishment and the long-term perspective we need to remain faithful to him. Lamentations 3:21-23 Yet this I call to mind and therefore I have hope: Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed for his compassions never fail, They are new every new every morning great is your faithfulness. Praise the Lord!
