Before downloading this week’s news sheet why not take a moment to thank God for saving you through Jesus?

Before you read this weekend’s news sheet, do take a moment to listen to this verse: “Be still, and know that I am God” (Psalm 46:10). Now ask God to speak to you through His word every day this week – but do make sure, you are really listening to HIm as you do so.

This week why not explore God’s word more fully to see what He is saying to you but, before you do, I suggest you begin with a simple prayer such as: ‘Lord, let your word be a lamp to my feet and a light to my path (Psalm 119:105). After all, it good to be able to see where you are going!

This week why not set aside some time to thank god for the ways in which you have seen Him at work recently. As Arthur’s poem reassures us this week, God is everywhere. That is a very comforting thought for us all.

This week, why not thank God for His amazing grace in your life – poured out day after day. Know that He will never leave you and never forget you. Praise the Lord.

We are bombarded daily by news and comments from supposedly experts in their field. The only problem being they often disagree and are frequently misguided in their thinking. So today, remind yourself that God is in control of His world – and your life. That’s a great relief to me!

If today you feel in any way overwhelmed, know that God is on your side. A rock, a stronghold, a shield.

Today, why not imagine that God has physically moved into your spare room for a short break. What would you change? Your actions? Your general demeanor? You joy? Why not change anyway?

This week, why not spend a moment thinking of your own journey to faith. How did it happen and who was involved. Better still, why don’t you tell one of your non-Christian friends all about it?

He is risen. He is risen indeed. Alleluia.
