Overcoming the World by Faith
Today we look at how we have overcome the world by faith. Faith is more than just mental ascent. It is a lived out reality and in that God lives in us. Then as we witness and share God moves out from us.
The Readings are 1 John 5.4 and John 20.19 - Psalm 117 and 118

Where We Cannot Go
Today we look at those places we cannot go. Those places we may long to go to, but something stops us, maybe we don't belong, maybe we don't work there, maybe we haven't been invited or maybe we don't have what we need. This becomes an important reminder of how we might feel separate from God's presence, but thanks to Christ and his sacrifice we have been invited in. We do belong.
The Readings are Hebrews 9.11 and Matthew 20.20
Our hymns for today are #498 How Lovely is Thy Dwelling Place and #593 O God of Every Nation
