Thought for the week: Our Father

On Sunday we celebrated Father’s Day. But what do we expect a father to be?
Strong, supportive, kind, firm, and their for us when needed.

Sadly news reports tell us not all fathers are like that but we can always rely on our Heavenly Father.

He may not give us all we ask for but he knows what’s best for us.

So carrying on this week let us remember to continue to give thanks for our fathers and any other father figures in our lives, may that be step dads, foster dads, grandads, uncles and brothers,
the list goes on.

And let us not forget to thank our Heavenly Father for all he gives us.

Thought for the week - Feeling helpless?

Sometimes life can feel like everything is going wrong all at once.

Whether that involves a personal health crisis,
heath concerns for a loved one,
loss of a friend or family member
or watching as someone you care for struggles with their own issues.

It can leave you with a deep feeling of helplessness.

As a spouse or parent you often consider yourself to be the one that can make things better, and as a friend you try to be the one who can give support when needed.

It can be hard to accept that sometimes there is nothing you can do to change the situations that you are experiencing.

But there is always prayer.

Prayer allows us to turn to God and ask him to be with those we are concerned for, and also provides us with the opportunity to ask for strenght for ourselves to carry on.

The power of prayer gives the chance to feel the Lords presence beside you and will help to grow a sense of peace within.

Turning to prayer in difficult times can help us cope in a crisis.
Knowing that God’s love, grace and support is always there is a constant comfort.

You are not alone.

Amen

Thought for the week: Clean on the outside, but what about the inside?

This weeks thought of the week is inspired by one of those chores we often put off doing... cleaning the kitchen cupboards.

From the outside the cupboards often look fine...but the inside tells a different story,
spilt flour, sticky rings from jars and plenty of other little messes

It is a great reminder of Christian life.
We can look really clean and presentable on the outside, really
'polished' to other Christians
- but God looks on the inside.

So despite having a clean, good-looking Christian life on the surface, what goes on within our hearts and behind closed doors is what truly matters to God.

So the encouragement for this week is simply to assess your Christian life
– to look honestly at any areas of sin,
any areas where forgiveness is needed,
any areas that need to be worked on
so that you can be
truly presentable before God.

Thought for the week: Is it really that simple?

We all have favourite verses in the Bible; the one above is taken from the New International Version of the Bible.
One of many different translations and interpretations of “The Good Book”.

In the popular TV show
‘Father Brown’, based on the book by G K Chesterton,
an inquisitive & sometimes slightly naughty Catholic priest is the seeking of redemption for lost souls.

G K Chesterton’s story “The Sign of the Broken Sword” father brown declares
‘When will people understand that it is useless for a man to read his Bible unless he also reads everybody else’s Bible’

There are many versions of the Bible, many varied interpretations and even more commentary’s written about it.
The Bible is a guide, a tool we Christians use alongside prayer, worship & loving one another as we live our lives

However Father Brown warns us that the way each of us approaches the Bible differs and there is a danger that passages can be taken out of context & used to support and justify any act or creed, good or bad:
read the rest of the paragraph from G K Chesterton & you will learn why

For some faith can be simple.
God is good & the Devil is Evil,
often taught from childhood.

In any situation we know right from wrong.
Sometimes we are lost or discouraged in our faith.

Let us pray for guidance from His Spirit and His Word to set us firmly back on the path of love:
love for God,
love of ourselves
and love for each other.

Amen
