Light at the end of the tunnel

Here’s the link to the Sermon: Light at the end of the tunnel

Reading: Amos 9

  1. In v1 We see the Lord standing close by as destruction is carried out – why does Amos not want us to miss this point? Is God aloof?
  2. Why is it important to remember that ALL nations and people are important to him in light of v7 ?
  3. What does Remnant mean in terms of the Jewish people and what does ‘House of David ‘ mean in v11? Discuss the two different meanings of buildings/people.
  4. The society in which we live is no different to Amos’ day. Is it ok for us to live how we want to live in this time of Grace.
  5. What day is Amos talking about here in v11 and what precedes the Jews’ worldwide return to Israel? v11
  6. What promise does God make after their return? v15 Why does the Lord keep a Remnant ?

Reading: Amos 6

In the sermon we looked at this passage under 4 different headings. As a group take a look at these headings afresh – try not just to regurgitate the sermon 🙂 but go deeper and broader and look at how these thing apply to us today.

  1. Verses 1-3 Never be Content in the wrong thing
  2. Verses 4-6 I’m all Right, Jack is not all right!
  3. Verses 7-10 God Dictates; Not You

Prayer points for the coming months

Facilities

We’ve been blessed for many years with the use of St Mary’s School, and we hope this will be the case for some time to come, but the elders feel it is right to seek the Lord on the possibility of a permanent building, to enable us to further the work of New Connexions.

Some prayer points for this are:-

  1. That the Lord would make it clear to us about whether we should be seeking to build or find a long term agreement with another organisation in the area?
  2. Pray the Lord may provide a piece of land with the area we’ve been called to, according to His will and purpose.
  3. To provide financial assistance for the work
  4. To raise a team within our church who are dedicated to the future of the building work
  5. Guidance on how the building could, not only glorify him, but to serve the local community.

 

Youth

A number within the Church have been challenged by our need to reach the youth of the area.

Some prayer points for this are:-

  • A suitable venue may be found for us to meet.
  • We have some male volunteers to help run this project but we also need some female leaders.
  • In the running of this youth group there will be times and activities when we tell them about God and we would pray for clear inspiration on the content and leading of these ‘epilogue’ sessions.
  • A sound programme and ideas will be needed, as we obviously can’t rely on the youngsters turning up and organising themselves!
  • The Lord’s provision of equipment for this venture.

Please do pray for the work of New Connexions and use these prayer points in Housegroup, Prayer Meetings and personal prayer to specifically seek the Lord on these key points.
