Luke 1:39-45
After having visited the Temple, the angel Gabriel goes to a nobody in nowheresville who will become the mother of the Saviour.
Looking at God's faithfulness to us and the faith-filled response to His call of Zechariah, Elizabeth and of our late Queen, Elizabeth ll.
Luke himself wrote only four lines of introduction to his Gospel: the longest book in the Bible. What do they tell us, and what else do we need to know before we read on?
In John's parting words he sums up his whole letter by encouraging hearers to guard themselves from idols. What are idols, and how do we recognise them?
1 John 5:1-12 reminds us that our love, obedience, and adoption are meant to be held tightly together and are possible because God first loved us.
Expanding our view of community to wherever we are and whoever we're with. Doing "whatever you do" as if for the Lord, involving Him in every aspect of our lives.
Lucy talks about God's heart of compassion and shares the direction we're wanting to take the church’s compassion ministry. This is for the whole church to step into more, so it can be on all of our hearts, to help us keep in line with what’s in God’s heart, so we can more effectively partner with God to share his love and care for our community.
John tells us that we, the church, are to love one another like God loves us, because God loved us first. He helps the early church to work out which messengers are from God, and which or not. And he reminds us that we can't love God and hate a brother or sister at the same time.
