Latest news and 'Thought for the day'

Thought for the Day by Matt Jones
​(Associate Minister for Music)

Picture

           Hebrews 10:23-25


23 Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful.
24 And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds,
25 not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching.
 
I’ve thought about this passage often over the past months. In normal times we use this as an encouragement, and a reminder, of why it is so important that we meet together, on Sunday as a big church family, and at other times like small group, and 1 to 1’s, so that we grow in our faith and spur each other to do likewise.
 
How difficult, then, that we can’t physically meet together. Thank God for the blessing of technology that we can actually see each other’s faces, tune into a Sunday service, pray and laugh with one another. How would this have all worked 20 years ago??
 
And so let’s make an extra effort to put into the practice the things that we see in the passage: 1) Hold fast to our faith - why? Because of Christ, who is faithful. We have hope because He lives . 2) What thing(s) can you do today to spur your brother or sister in Christ on in their faith? Be creative. Call them. Pray for them. Make something for them. 3) When the going gets tough and we might not want to tune into that Zoom meeting, or join a Sunday service - commit, press in, be an encouragement to someone else.
 
All while we long and sigh to be physically together again….and for the DAY of Christ’s return
Matt


Book Reviews by Phil Moon (Vicar)

Two short books about Corona from a Christian perspective
Picture
​Where is God in a Coronavirus World? by John Lennox is a gem. John is Scottish and in his spare time and retirement, an apologist for the Christian faith. This little book pretty much answers the question ‘How can you believe in a God when we’re struggling with Coronavirus?’ Of course it’s brief, and won’t satisfy everyone, but he writes thoughtfully and well, and covers the main bases. It’ll reassure you, equip you to answer your friends’ questions, and help you grow in your faith. And it won’t take long to read.

Coronavirus and Christ by John Piper is a book by a preacher. And its American, so the style isn’t immediately so accessible. But it’s thoroughly biblical. Packed with the Bible in fact. His aim is to get us thinking about the virus from a biblical perspective, and after a slow first 1/3rd it really takes off. This book will expand your biblical worldview. Have you thought about the biblical link between Corona virus and world mission? Well maybe this would be a good book for you! It was due to be published on 20th April but there seems to have been a holdup!
Which one to read? Well, they’re different, and trying to do different things. So I’d buy both. But if only one, I think I’d start with John Lennox.
 
Both of these books are available through Books Alive (info@booksalive.co.uk). Or send an email to the office and we’ll order them for you, and get them delivered to your door. £2.50 each, £5.00 for both of them!
