If you missed the sermon you can pick it up here: Believing AND Following

Read Luke 23: 26-43

As you read through the passage, consider the various characters we meet along the way and for each of the characters discuss:
1. What do we know about them (maybe from other passages)?
2. Did Jesus talk to them?
3. Do we know how they responded to Jesus?
What do the various things that happen and are said in this passage teach us about:
1. Our own faith;
2. Humility;
3. Christs love;
4. Sharing the gospel?
What is the difference between intellectual belief and following Jesus?

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:-

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?
Pray the Lord may provide a piece of land with the area we’ve been called to, according to His will and purpose.
To provide financial assistance for the work
To raise a team within our church who are dedicated to the future of the building work
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.
