School might have finished for the year, but we never stop learning! Let's look into the dictionary's definiton of a few words. In church language ADVENT is known as the four weeks before Chistmas. But, another definition is "the arrival of a notable person or thing" The adjective notable is: important and deserving attention. The arrival of a notable person .... This Sunday, let's take some time to prepare for the arrival of Jesus.
In episode 393 of The Strenuous Life Podcast I talk to Oz Austwick, who has extensively studied armed and unarmed combat systems in Europe.

It is possible to help and hurt at the same time. How can we make sure that we don't hurt when trying to be generous.
'For I know the plans I have for you', declares the Lord, ‘Plans to prosper you and not to harm you; plans to give you a hope and a future.' Jeremiah 29:1 How should we live as Christians in South Africa in 2023? How should we respond to things like load shedding and all the other stuff?? What does Jeremiah have to say to us about living in South Africa?
In a world where we feel like we are always running on empty can we really expect to live a full and meaningful life every day? Ephesians 4 may have some answers to that question. For the next few weeks we will be looking at the word FULL to help us discover if we are really living a full life.
At the start of the year lets make sure that we are putting the right things first!

In Part Six, hear children from nearby Settle Primary School interview their grandparents. 93 year old Edna Thornton, from the village of Austwick to the south of Ingleborough mountain, remembers the days when the milkman delivered milk directly into a jug on her doorstep each morning. Two granddads from Settle are asked about the changes they have seen in the natural environment. Meanwhile builder Kevin Woods, who from his home looks at Ingleborough's peak, reflects on a lifetime of restoring traditional buildings in a way which doesn't rob birds of their nest sites. ‘We'll do owt we can for nature,' he says. Presented by Andrew Fagg and Anna Greenwood.
1Corinthians 12:31 says: ‘But now let me show you a way of life that is best of all.' (NLT) Sometimes in order for us to do a new thing we have to go back to the old things to make sure that we are on the right path and hearing what God says about things. On Sunday Debbie will look at one of the oldest commandments and how it still applies today. She'll also be sharing an exciting update with us.
There is a line in a poem by R.S. Thomas which says, quite simply, that ‘wisdom must come on foot'. This makes me think of those few special moments in my life when I have been in the same place as The Queen, who has always insisted on walking among the crowds, and how I've seen her engaging people along her way, listening generously to each one she meets, offering such wise or comforting or encouraging words as is right for each person. She, like the One she follows, walks among us as one who serves.
