‘If you are the Son of God…’ (Matt. 4:3)
Do we truly believe Jesus to be the Son of God and if so, what does that mean for us?
‘Jesus was led by the Holy Spirit into the desert where the devil came to tempt Him…’ (Matt.4:1)
What do we understand by temptation and how it comes to us?
‘Happy are those whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered…’ (Psalm 32:1)
Do we fully understand what it means to be forgiven – to be truly forgiven and how that forgiveness comes to us?
We continue with our Bible study, looking at the Letter of Jude, this Wednesday evening, the 22nd of February at 7.00pm in the Abbey Church and all are welcome to come and join us.
Tomorrow is Ash Wednesday, the beginning of the season of Lent, a time when we recall the time our Lord spent in the wilderness, fasting for 40 days and nights, during which He was tempted by the devil. But it should also be for us a time of reflection, where we have a good look at ourselves, at our own faith and just where we are in our relationship with the Lord, and consider this in light of the sacrifices our Lord made for us. So over the next 40 days there will be selected Bible verses for us to look at and use for self-reflection, that we might walk with our Lord on the road to Calvary, where He gave His life for us.
The next soup lunch will take place this coming Wednesday, the 22nd February, between 12.00-2.00pm in the Abbey Church. All are welcome to come and join us and catch up with friends old and new. We look forward to seeing you there.
All are welcome to come and join us for worship every Sunday morning. We gather for worship at 10.00am in Bendochy Church and 11.15 in the Abbey Church to hear God’s Word and sing to His praise.
Friendly Fridays have resumed: First Friday of the Month (except January) 1.30 to 3.30pm in the church Gateway area; tea, cakes and conversation. All welcome, no charge.
‘As we know Jesus better, His divine power give us everything we need for a Godly life…'(2 Peter 1:3)
The more we come before the Lord and allow Him into our lives, to lead us and guide us each day, the more we learn to trust in Him completely. No matter how hard we try we can never live a Godly life on our own – we need to trustt in the Lord for that.
‘I know the Lord is always with me…’ (Psalm 16:8)
How comforting and reassuring it is to know that wherever we are and whatever we are doing, the Lord is always with us.
