Rituals are very much a part of our lives. They are created by meaning and give us meaning. They help us to remember, reflect, and move forward. And of course, they play a big part in God’s relationship with His people, as is shown in the Bible. In our reading for today from Exodus as God gives the people of Israel instructions to prepare for the Passover meal he is already giving them instructions on how to remember it each year.

It is important that we remember both God’s Actions of Love to us, and how He calls us to show this love to others. As we remember and celebrate, we are strengthened and sent out. Have a read, watch our listen to our Address for this week to consider how we remember and celebrate the love of God, and of special people, in our lives, and how God now calls us to take this love out and share it.

Last week we had a look at Romans 12:1-8, with the theme of Inside Out. We learnt how Paul is telling us that God’s love transforms us, from our hearts and minds to then what comes out.

This week, in the follow on of Romans 12:9-18, is a bit of a ‘so what’ or ‘and now’ of those thoughts. Now we are given a list of what it means to be transformed, which is that as those who live in God’s love we are called to be always loving. How do we do that? What does it mean? And how do we especially do it when we know it is a struggle for us?

To go into this some more have a read, watch, or listen to our Address for this week.

What determines what we value in our lives, what we see as being right and wrong, how we act when others aren’t looking, what are the most important things to us? Who, or what, shapes and forms what we think about all of these things?

Starting with a very simple but clear statement, ‘God is good’, in our reading for today Paul calls us to offer ourselves to God as living sacrifices and to allow our thoughts to be changed by Him. Our thoughts determine our words and actions, so being transformed by God in this way will affect how God’s love comes out of us. What does this mean? What does it change? How do I come to know God’s transforming love, grace, and mercy? To consider and reflect on all these things and more have a read, watch or listen to our Address for this week.

Boundaries, judgments, who’s in and who’s out, we probably all apply these to people all the time without even thinking about it. That was just as true in Jesus’ time as it is for us today.

Our Gospel reading for today, the account of Jesus and the woman from Canaan, can at first shock us, but when we look at it properly, we see it as a breaking down of the boundaries people had put up around who can be a part of God’s Kingdom; it is Jesus showing that His love and grace are there for us all. And for that, we can thank God.

But it also calls us to examine our own judgemental attitudes, our restrictions, our preferences. How open are we to being a part of taking down these boundaries?

To reflect more on what it means for us that we are now part of God’s Kingdom through our faith in Jesus, and that we are called to break down the boundaries today, have a read, watch, or listen to our Address for this week.

Following on from the miraculous feeding story in last week’s Gospel reading, this week we have a Bible account which shows us how fear and faith works in our lives. Fear can cripple and control us. Faith gives us freedom to act and gives us comfort. Faith is when we trust in and rely on God, fear causes us to be caught up on what is around us?

How does fear and faith work in our lives? This reading has some really good lessons on the both the reality and effects of fear, but of how God can and does work through even the smallest amount of faith to take us through the storms. To focus on this more, have a read, watch or listen to this week’s Address.

When we look at the miracle stories of Jesus feeding large crowds of people with just a little food, we not only see God’s power at work, but also God’s love which comes through as His compassion. God, in Jesus, sees the needs of people and acts to fulfil them.

We are now God’s hands of love and compassion in our world. What sometimes stops us acting like this? What holds us back? What opportunities to share and show His love and compassion is God placing before us?

To consider all this and more, have a read, watch or listen to our Address for this week.

When bad things happen in our lives, does that mean God doesn’t love us, or He is displeased with us? How can we know that God loves us always, whatever we go through?

These are not just questions asked in various stories, but questions also we might ask as we go through the things we face in our lives. To the questions of: does God love us? Can we always be sure of that? Paul gives a strong and emphatic ‘yes’! Why, because He sent Jesus to die and rise again for us.

To reflect more on what God loves for us means, how it supports us, and why we can be so certain of it, have a read, watch, or listen to our Address for this week.

This week we look at the parable which follows straight after Jesus’ teaching from last week. Again, it has a farming focus, with Jesus now describing all those who belong to God as being good seeds, and those who don’t as being w**ds. The problem is, how do we tell who is who? The answer: we can’t and don’t need to, that’s God’s work. All we need to do is what we are called to do, Go and Sow.

As people we are very inclined to judge others, so, when it comes to Christian communities, are we more inclined to seed or to w**d? This is something we each need to take an honest look at ourselves about.

Have a read, watch, or listen to this week’s Address, to see what Jesus says it means to be Sowers in His Kingdom, to thank God that He doesn’t pluck us out, and to reflect on how as both individuals and communities we can help people to feel loved and accepted by God.

Among many other things Jesus was a great teacher, as was shown by His use of parables; stories based on everyday things which Jesus used to explain God’s kingdom.

Our Gospel reading for this week is the well-know Parable of the Sower, in which a farmer sows seeds which land in four different types of soil. How do we place ourselves into this parable? What kind of soil are we? What message does this parable for how God’s Word is at work in and through us?

To consider these questions and more about what this parable teaches us about our faith, life, and God’s kingdom, have a read, watch, or listen to our Address for this week.
