As we focus on lament this month, along with leaving and cleaving, Dan asks us this morning, 'what are we leaving and what are we holding on to?' God invites us to cleave to Him. He is faithful to us and He is the one we can hold fast to because He holds fast to us.

Bev begins our new teaching focus on Lament & Leaving, focusing on 'Space & Time to Lament'.

Space & Time to Lament

Bev introduces our teaching focus for May, 'Lament & Leaving'. We're giving time and space this month to reflect on our hearts and the journey we're making; through the difficulties and losses of Covid and through leaving 286, our home of 10 years. For many of us this is a season of lament, of leaving the past behind and facing a different, unfamiliar future. It's also a time of restoration and an opportunity for our hearts to burn again with a passion for Jesus and His purposes as we seek a RE-WILDED HEART. Psalm 51:10-12 Keep creating in me a clean heart. Fill me with pure thoughts and holy desires, ready to please you. May you never reject me! May you never take from me your sacred Spirit! Let my passion for life be restored, tasting joy in every breakthrough you bring to me. Hold me close to you with a willing spirit that obeys whatever you say.

Saturday Encouragement: 01 May 2021

Sometimes we can be tired and stressed and far from feeling 'alive in Christ'. In these hard times, God wants to draw us back to Him. Spend some time reading through verses in the Bible which reveal who God is - pray that you'll find new ways of seeing God and remember old ways.

Tuesday Encouragement: 27 April 2021

Nicky encourages from Ephesians 2 (TPT), as part of our focus on being alive in Christ, reminding us that God has united us with Jesus - we have His resurrection life inside us! We are royal sons and daughters and are invited to live from this perspective daily.

Tongues

Success & Positive self-image through confidence in God [knowing it’s because of God!]

Joy reads from Romans chapter 8 this morning and asks us to receive all the encouragement that can be found there. We're reminded that we have hope in God, that there is nothing that can separate us from the love of God and in all that happens, God is working for good.
