BH Bulletin Friday 4 September 2020

Thought for the Day by Anna Bouch (On placement at BH).

Matt 10:26-33
When was the last time you felt afraid? Was it through the lock-down, for these strange times we still live in? Perhaps it was fear of the rejection of others for your faith? Perhaps you still feel that?
“Do not be afraid!” This is the most often repeated command in the Bible. Three times in Matt 10:26-33 Jesus tells us not to be afraid, if we acknowledge him. He says ‘everyone who acknowledges me before others, I also will acknowledge before my Father.’ The word ‘Acknowledge’ is about the public witness of God.
What might that mean today? To pray for one another, to encourage one another in acts of mission, to give generously to Christian charities? All these things I see happening at BH and your sister churches as I continue in placement- I’ve been learning about all the mission work that goes on, in many places and in all weathers! This is the Gospel proclaimed in word and action, that witness strengthens me. So today I’m going to choose a group of my atheist friends, to talk about Jesus, I’m not afraid of their rejection. Is there a friend, or a stranger to whom you can fearlessly proclaim Jesus to today, in word and deed?
“Father we pray today for the strength of your Holy Spirit to help us spread the Gospel, in faith, without fear. “
