The Newham Bookshop in London, No Alibis in Belfast, the Marlow Bookshop & Silverfish Books in Kuala Lumpur also get a mention. We hear what makes a successful indie bookshop, how they put up with authors, how self-published authors can get stocked on their shelves, & about events that take unexpected turns. Also, we reel in shock from a revelation about Conn Iggulden's true identity! Conn Iggulden writes historical fiction, including the Emperor and Conqueror series. He co-authored with his brother Hal, The Dangerous Book for Boys. In 2007 Conn became the first eprson to top the UK fiction & non-fiction charts at the same time. Vaseem Khan is the author of the Baby Ganesh Detective Agency & Malabar House crime fiction novels set in India. Ivy Ngeow's latest thriller is White Crane Strikes. She also writes non-fiction books on fitness, health & cooking.

Sermon for the Watford and Dublin churches 22 November 2020 Introduction Most important thing to do for virus, economy, social well being? Used to have one priority, now have several! Lot of our malaise when feeling overwhelmed, flat, anxious or overstressed is due to confused priorities, or, what's really important? Near end 2020 Review and reset This question has been asked since time immemorial “One of the teachers of the law came and heard them debating. Noticing that Jesus had given them a good answer, he asked him, “Of all the commandments, which is the most important?” “The most important one,” answered Jesus, “is this: ‘Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one.” (Mark 12:28–29 NIV11) So, we know loving God and neighbours is primary But, how do we figure out what that means for our lives, personally? That's what today's lesson is about...... PART 1: Unhealthy ways to decide what's important a. Guilt b. Fear c. Makes us feel better Imagine if you made decisions about our children our marriage or our friends on these bases. I will do what you want because I am feeling guilty about mistakes I've made in the past. I will do what you want because I'm afraid otherwise you might hate me or leave me. I will do what you want not because it makes you happy with because it makes me feel better. That would not be a healthy relationship with a human It certainly is not a healthy relationship with God. Questions for the groups: What was the important thing they knew or learned? Why was and is this important? How would the importance of this manifest itself in your life? PART 2: Healthy ways to figure out what's important Five characters to show us the way 1. David “One thing I ask from the LORD, this only do I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to gaze on the beauty of the LORD and to seek him in his temple.” (Psalm 27:4 NIV11) It's easier to teach a Christian the bible than it is to teach them how to worship. David - a man after God's own heart. ‘Beauty' = favour, pleasantness A good quiet time could be to meditate on what is ‘beautiful' about the LORD. Would that include His holiness, mercy, long-suffering nature, loving-kindness, integrity, justice, completeness, perfection, wisdom, .....? Interesting that in Ps 50.1-6, His/Zion's beauty is expressed in terms of fire, speaking, tempest, judgment etc. His desire to be close to God is very active - ‘ask', ‘seek' X2, ‘dwell', ‘gaze' ‘dwell' used of a married couple who have set up house together 2. Rich young ruler “Jesus looked at him and loved him. “One thing you lack,” he said. “Go, sell everything you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.”” (Mark 10:21 NIV11) Do you have any barriers to full surrender to Jesus? He starts on his knees, but turns his back on Jesus This man has no material needs and no law-needs. He knows he has other needs, but what are those needs. Jesus is about to tell him - and it is clearly not what he man expected. response, however, moves beyond command to an abondonment and trust that involve the losing of self in yielding, trustful communion....The move is from willing duty to utter delight.” Brueggemann, Psalms, 196 3. Mary ““Martha, Martha,” the Lord answered, “you are worried and upset about many things, but few things are needed—or indeed only one. Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her.”” (Luke 10:41–42 NIV11) Sometimes good things are why we miss out on the best thing. The better priorities, chosen consistently over time, yield a lasting legacy of godliness 4. The blind man “He replied, “Whether he is a sinner or not, I don't know. One thing I do know. I was blind but now I see!”” (John 9:25 NIV11) Important to remember the transforming power of Jesus in our lives. It's never doctrine that converts anyone, it's always the evidence of the power of Jesus in peoples' lives. Perhaps especially true for our children Have your testimony ready. 5. Paul “Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.” (Philippians 3:13–14 NIV11) Baggage from the past will obscure what is important for the present and the future. Paul did not deny his baggage, but he did not let it get in the way of being ambitious for God. We never fully ‘arrive' on earth, but progress can be a delight Conclusion What have our characters taught us about what is important? David: knowing that God is at the heart of prayer Rich young ruler: knowing God is at the heart of surrender Martha: knowing God is at the heart of service Blind man: knowing God is at the heart of witness Paul: knowing God is at the heart of ambition Centring on Jesus makes what's important clear Suggestion: Use these five characters as a way of assessing what's important to you going into 2021 As a filter to help you assess where you are and want to be in 2021 Scriptures used in or related to today's lesson: Psalm 27:4; Matthew 23:23; Mark 10:21; 12:28-29, 33, 39; Luke 10:41-42; 16:15; John 9:25; 1 Corinthians 15:3; Philippians 3:13-14 Questions for the breakout rooms: What was the important thing they knew or learned?

15 November 2020   Introduction Hands of Jesus QUESTION: Name some of the things he touched “Jesus reached out his hand and touched the man. “I am willing,” he said. “Be clean!” Immediately he was cleansed of his leprosy.” (Matthew 8:3 NIV11) “Then he touched their eyes and said, “According to your faith let it be done to you”;” (Matthew 9:29 NIV11) “Then he went up and touched the bier they were carrying him on, and the bearers stood still. He said, “Young man, I say to you, get up!”” (Luke 7:14 NIV11) “Then he said to Thomas, “Put your finger here; see my hands. Reach out your hand and put it into my side. Stop doubting and believe.”Thomas said to him, “My Lord and my God!”” (John 20:27–28 NIV11) Read Chapter 23 - Book: "Fearfully and wonderfully" - Brand, Yancey   Conclusion What can we do with our hands to bring the healing of Christ to the world? “Now you are the body of Christ and individually members of it.” (1 Corinthians 12:27 NRSV) - not like his body, but we are his body Prayer of Theresa of Aliva Christ has no body now, but yours.  No hands, no feet on earth, but yours.  Yours are the eyes through which Christ looks with compassion into the world.  Yours are the feet with which Christ walks to do good.  Yours are the hands with which Christ blesses the world. “Jesus called out with a loud voice, “Father, into your hands I commit my spirit.” When he had said this, he breathed his last.” (Luke 23:46 NIV11) How does Jesus heal the world? He offers his hands to be nailed to the cross for our healing He sends our hands to heal others  Please add your comments on this week's topic.

"There is No Longer Jew nor Greek: Dialogue on Christianity and Race" Honest dialogue about Christianity and racial identity informed by Scripture and experience of black Christians “God has put the body together, giving greater honour to the parts that lacked it, so that there should be no division in the body, but that its parts should have equal concern for each other. If one part suffers, every part suffers with it; if one part is honoured, every part rejoices with it. Now you are the body of Christ, and each one of you is a part of it.” 1 Corinthians 12:24-27 NIV11 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free man, there is not male and female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus (Galatians 3:28). In the verse quoted above, Paul attempted to capture the oneness of the people of God. This oneness emerged from the premise that believing in Jesus made believers spiritual descendants of Abraham and members of the worldwide, multi-ethnic family of God. In this family, all notions of domination and hierarchy were dismantled, and people acknowledged only the loving Lordship of the risen Jesus. This oneness, unprecedented in the ancient world, reflected the counter-cultural love of Jesus himself, who called a Zealot and a tax collector – normally sworn enemies – to live as brothers.  As such, in a world whose history is tainted by the effects of domination, imperialism, marginalisation and enforced slavery, Christians and the Christian community ought to be models in reconciliation and healing. However, the deaths of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Eric Garner and Trayvon Martin (to name a few) and the resurgence of Black Lives Matter protests have resurfaced deep wounds that have not healed, in the hearts of many of our black brothers and sisters. This combined with weaknesses in the Christian understanding of ethno-racial unity within and outside Christian communities has impacted the faith of many.  This session aims to bring the experiences of black Christians into conversation with Christian scripture to help facilitate honest dialogue, promote understanding and navigate the sensitive landscape of Christianity and racial identity. Speakers include Dr Andrew Ezeilo and Sandra Ezeilo, Rachael Corson, Elleen Okotie, Mike Desouza and Dr Andy Boakye.  The format included a mix of sharing, teaching and 30 minutes for discussion in breakout rooms.

Psalm 129 - “What victory means to a Christian”   Introduction    Question: Examples of personal victory? Question: How does victory feel? 1. “The Victory of Survival”, vv1-2 Most nations look back to their victories - but Israel looks back at their survival! Question: victorious survivors in life or Bible? Sometimes survival is the victory for a Christian!   i. Surviving Great Oppression, 2 Cor 1:1-11 God's people kicked around over the centuries.  We are not always strong, but we are hard to kill Paul is a great example of this - 2 Cor 11:23-29   ii. Surviving and Still Standing - my mother Key thing is to keep looking forward - Phil 3:12-14. “patience has a positive tonic effect on others; because of the presence of the patient person, they revive and go on, as if he were the gyroscope of the ship providing a stable ground. But the patient person himself does not enjoy it.” Patience a positive virus - catch it from one another   Point: Oppression is temporary “What is victory for a Christian?” Victory for a Christian means surviving - and learning, growing, maturing in the process. 2. “The Victory of Freedom”, vv3-4 God puts us right with him and ourselves Freedom is victory - how do we handle it?   i. Freedom from Painful Ploughing, Gal 5:13-6:5 No longer need suffer the pain of sin Nor cause others pain with our sin Instead help others with their sins - Gal 6:1-5   iii. Freedom from the Cords Our perseverance depends on God's determined faithfulness to us He did this with Jesus and the cross.   Point: Freedom is a gift from God “What is victory for a Christian?” Victory for a Christian means enjoying our freedom and using it to help others CONCLUSION vv5-8 His honesty admirable - not sure all the feelings are! “The uppermost roof on the common dwelling places in Israel would have been constructed of beams laid across the walls intertwined with reeds and grasses. The whole roof would then be plastered with mud to fill in the gaps and make them somewhat watertight. Any lingering seeds in the grass or mud might briefly sprout but would quickly die for lack of roots." Real history! Where is imperial Egypt which enslaved Israel—or the Philistines, Assyrians or Babylonians?" For a Christian - Rome, all the prominent atheists of history, the Bible sceptics, Communism, etc. 1 Cor 15:54-57 Satan has been defeated, and he is empty because Jesus's grave is empty: Therefore death has been emptied of its power Therefore sin has been emptied of its power Point: Satan is completely defeated Satan utterly defeated - shamed, empty, lonely Thank you for listening to this podcast.

Sermon for the Watford church of Christ, 21 June 2020 Introduction, v1 Question: Who or what is it good to fear? Blessings galore! vv2-4 Fruit - security, vineyards Vine - sexual charm Olive shoots - vitality A pre-vision of God's great plan The reanimation of the original blessing “God blessed them and said to them, “Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky and over every living creature that moves on the ground.”” (Genesis 1:28 NIV11) To be fulfilled at return of Jesus and bringing of kingdom of heaven to earth. God's desire is for our joy! How to live in healthy fear of the Lord and walk in obedience to him, vv1, 4 A. Touched by fear yare: origin, “to tremble” or be “short of breath.” Question: Who can you think of who had this kind of experience? Moses - Ex 3.6 Isaiah - Is 6.5 Paul - Acts 22.6-8 All had life-changing ‘yare' experiences What does it look like to walk in obedience? B. Motivated to walk in obedience Moses - Ex 3.6 - led the people the way God wanted Isaiah - Is 6.5 - spoke God's Word to people Paul - Acts 22.6-8 - preached God's Word to the Gentiles Us - 1 Jn 2.3-6 - walking in a certain way “They disciplined us for a little while as they thought best; but God disciplines us for our good, in order that we may share in his holiness.No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it. Therefore, strengthen your feeble arms and weak knees.“Make level paths for your feet,” so that the lame may not be disabled, but rather healed.” (Hebrews 12:10–13 NIV11) “If you go against the grain of the universe, you get splinters”. H. H. Farmer Conclusion, v6b God's desire is that we live at peace. For a Christian this is because Jesus is with us.   Thank you for listening to this podcast.

Introduction, v3-4 Question: “Can you think of people in the Bible who were treated with contempt/ridicule (who did not deserve it)?” “Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. “Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me.Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.” (Matthew 5:10–12 NIV11) ‘mercy', Hebrew: hanan = compassion for the miserable; take pity; be kind; implies acts of kindness, not simply feelings of pity. Look with confidence, v1 Question: “Who do you think of as the ultimate victorious person?” A. Seated “I lift up my eyes to the mountains—where does my help come from? My help comes from the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth.” (Psalm 121:1–2) B. Jesus, Ephesians 1.20 “That power is the same as the mighty strength he exerted when he raised Christ from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly realms, far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every name that is invoked, not only in the present age but also in the one to come.And God placed all things under his feet and appointed him to be head over everything for the church, which is his body, the fullness of him who fills everything in every way.” (Ephesians 1:19–23 NIV11) Look with patience, v2 Question: Who do you know you can count on? A. Decision to look “Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God.Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things.For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God. When Christ, who is your life, appears, then you also will appear with him in glory.” (Colossians 3:1–4 NIV11) B. Attentive Question: “What do you think the psalmist means by using this slave metaphor?” “Then Jesus told his disciples a parable to show them that they should always pray and not give up.He said: “In a certain town there was a judge who neither feared God nor cared what people thought. And there was a widow in that town who kept coming to him with the plea, ‘Grant me justice against my adversary.' “For some time he refused. But finally he said to himself, ‘Even though I don't fear God or care what people think, yet because this widow keeps bothering me, I will see that she gets justice, so that she won't eventually come and attack me!' ” And the Lord said, “Listen to what the unjust judge says. And will not God bring about justice for his chosen ones, who cry out to him day and night? Will he keep putting them off? I tell you, he will see that they get justice, and quickly. ”” (Luke 18:1–8 NIV11) “Listen to my words, LORD, consider my lament. Hear my cry for help, my King and my God, for to you I pray. In the morning, LORD, you hear my voice; in the morning I lay my requests before you and wait expectantly.” (Psalm 5:1–3 NIV11) Conclusion, vv3-4 Move from conceptual to the personal - “the LORD” to “LORD have mercy” Question: “When have you felt the need for God's mercy most acutely?” A. Show mercy as an imitation of the heart of God “Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy.” (Matthew 5:7) B. Anticipate your relief “But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us. We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed.We always carry around in our body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body.For we who are alive are always being given over to death for Jesus' sake, so that his life may also be revealed in our mortal body. So then, death is at work in us, but life is at work in you. It is written: “I believed; therefore I have spoken.” Since we have that same spirit of faith, we also believe and therefore speak, because we know that the one who raised the Lord Jesus from the dead will also raise us with Jesus and present us with you to himself.All this is for your benefit, so that the grace that is reaching more and more people may cause thanksgiving to overflow to the glory of God. Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.” 2Cor 4:7–18 Fix eyes on Jesus “Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.Consider him who endured such opposition from sinners, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart.” (Heb 12:1–3 “Therefore he is able to save completely those who come to God through him, because he always lives to intercede for them.” (Hebrews 7:25 NIV11) "Who then is the one who condemns? No one. Christ Jesus who died—more than that, who was raised to life—is at the right hand of God and is also interceding for us.Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword?As it is written: “For your sake we face death all day long; we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered.” No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.” (Romans 8:34–39 NIV11) Thank you for listening to this podcast.

The Watford church had the great privilege of hearing from our old friend Dr Andrew Boakye. Here is the text on which he spoke: And they said to him, John's disciples are always fasting and praying, and the Pharisees do the same, but yours just seem to eat and drink all the time! So Jesus said to them, “it's hardly possible for the groom's entourage to fast while the groom is there with them, is it? That day will come; and then, when the groom is removed from their presence they will spend days fasting”. Then he spoke a parable to them, saying: “No one tears a piece of cloth from some new clothes to fix a hole in some old ones! If they do, not only will the new clothes tear, but the old won't even match the cloth from the new. And no one pours new wine into old leather wine skins. If they do, the new wine will burst the leather wine skins and will itself be poured out, simultaneously destroying the skins. On the contrary, only new leather wine skins are fit for new wine. And no one drinking the old stuff wants the new, for he says the old makes sense” (Luke 5:33-39, Boakye translation).   Thank you for listening to this podcast.

“Who is looking after you?” - Psalm 121 1. Who is looking after us? vv1-2 Fear Bandits in the hills False Pagan temples, altars and shrines were on the hills - false hope Fix God is available to help, “No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can stand up under it.” (1 Corinthians 10:13 NIV) He is our ‘helper' or ‘guardian', ‘the one who guards' 8 times in this Psalm. The Psalmist's thinking quickly jumps from the hills to what lies beyond them - the Maker of the universe. Setting our hearts & minds will help us keep the right perspective during the day,Col. 3:1 2Cor. 4:18 Heb. 3:1 Heb. 12:2 2. What is he like?  vv3-4 Note move from “my” to “your” - when we are assured of God's help we can point others to that helper. ‘watches over' = Heb ‘Shamar', The basic idea of the root is “to exercise great care over.” ... “take care of,” “guard.”  Awake Mother watching over a vulnerable child - staying awake to protect Pagan gods needed waking (1 King 18:27), but not Israel's God.  Attentive Guarding against intruders, etc., such as the cherubim guarding the way to the tree of life in Gen 3:24. Better than a burglar alarm. Satan steps back when he knows God is home! Personal God is YHWH five times in this little Psalm. And his protection is personal - all the 'you's' are singular. “God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.” (Psalm 46:1 NIV11) We are to help ‘guard' one another in Christ. Be in touch! Be like God! 3. What will he do for me?  vv5-6 Shade you (protection) comprehensively God is our constant companion and helper in real or imaginary dangers.  Times when it gets hot Stressed? Does not need to become crippling anxiety.  Stepping into the shade helps you think more clearly.  That's what a QT is for. Times when it gets scary It was thought that too much exposure to the moon could cause illness i.e. ‘lunacy'. We are all scared by things.  How do we process that fear, and overcome it? That's what a QT is for. Shade = Heb. ‘tzel', ‘shadow', "Yahweh is the shade or the source of protection for his people The Psalmist prays that God may hide him under “the shadow of his wings” (Ps 17:8; cf. Ps 36:7; Ps 91:1). Remember to step into the shade when it gets too hot or too scary. Conclusion vv7-8 Our situation is bearable because it is not the final destination.  God is doing good even at this time. What's been better since this Covid 19 crisis began? Romans 8:35–39 Faith is taking hold of this and moving into confusion without being controlled by fearBecause we know, by faith, God will make something good from it That is why Jesus went to the cross He, by faith, looked forward to it with joyNot so much the cross, but it's outcome ““I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.” (John 10:11 NIV11) Thank you for listening to this podcast. You can find more episodes in our feed.

“How to begin a tough new journey with God”, Psalm 120   Psa. 120:0   A song of ascents. Psa. 120:1    I call on the LORD in my distress, and he answers me. 2 Save me, LORD, from lying lips and from deceitful tongues. 3 What will he do to you, and what more besides, you deceitful tongue? 4 He will punish you with a warrior's sharp arrows, with burning coals of the broom bush. 5 Woe to me that I dwell in Meshek, that I live among the tents of Kedar! 6 Too long have I lived among those who hate peace. 7 I am for peace; but when I speak, they are for war.    1. Call on God, vv1-2   A. With honesty   “my distress” tsarah - first child; terror of approaching rapacious army   Specific about the need - slander   B. With faith   “He answers me” implies past answers Reflect on past answered prayer and God coming through for you   answer may also be one another -  “A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for a time of adversity.” (Proverbs 17:17 NIV11)   C. With relationship   From “the LORD”, to, “save me” - personal address   From propositional to personal   2. Trust God, vv3-4   For wisdom   Satan is the liar “If we are to know the abundant provision of God's unlimited resources, we must also understand how Satan works to rob us of that experience. He does so by deceit. You may have heard the saying that the way to know if certain people are lying is if their lips are moving. This is absolutely true of Satan. Jesus referred to him as “a liar and the father of lies” (John 8:44 NRSV). Indeed, his whole kingdom is based on lies; he works by deceiving. Why? Because he does not have direct power over our will. Therefore, if he is to get us to do his bidding, he has to fool us. He cannot make us do anything we do not want to do. If it is true that a person can be the devil's puppet, the strings are Satan's lies.” Willard, Dallas. Life Without Lack (p. 75). Thomas Nelson. Kindle Edition.    Be careful what you believe from the media   Be careful what you believe form your own mind!   B. For strength   tongue - sharp arrows   lies - burning coals   Sin & death - empty grave; risen living Jesus   3. Turn to God, vv5-6   Meshek/Kedar - far north, far east - far from God   Wants to move closer to God Homesick Fed up of being around the pagans!   Times like this help us reassess our loyalty (Matt 5) to king Jesus Opportunity to grow closer But must move Repentance!   B. Peace available    Shalom Peace, prosperity, well, health, completeness, safety.   In Christ “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.” (John 14:27 NIV11)   “And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” (Philippians 4:7 NIV11)   Conclusion, Eph 2.12   “….remember that at that time you were separate from Christ, excluded from citizenship in Israel and foreigners to the covenants of the promise, without hope and without God in the world. But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far away have been brought near by the blood of Christ. For he himself is our peace, who has made the two groups one and has destroyed the barrier, the dividing wall of hostility, by setting aside in his flesh the law with its commands and regulations. His purpose was to create in himself one new humanity out of the two, thus making peace, and in one body to reconcile both of them to God through the cross, by which he put to death their hostility. He came and preached peace to you who were far away and peace to those who were near. For through him we both have access to the Father by one Spirit.” (Ephesians 2:12–18 NIV11)     Thank you for listening to this podcast. You can find more episodes in our feed.

A Christian Response We are called to: Prayer in place of anxiety (James 5:13-15; Philippians 4:6). No panic / conspiracy theory Opportunity to grow in prayer “Surely the righteous will never be shaken; they will be remembered forever.  They will have no fear of bad news; their hearts are steadfast, trusting in the LORD.” (Psalm 112:6–7) Wash your heart and mind with God's word as you wash your hands Empathy and compassion for those suffering (Matthew 9:36; Mark 5:34). No judgment Don't put others at risk Action to comfort where we can (2 Corinthians 1:4; Matthew 14:14). Make the most of extra time if you have it To comfort others and read/pray No hoarding, but generous“And he told them this parable: “The ground of a certain rich man yielded an abundant harvest. He thought to himself, ‘What shall I do? I have no place to store my crops.' “Then he said, ‘This is what I'll do. I will tear down my barns and build bigger ones, and there I will store my surplus grain. And I'll say to myself, “You have plenty of grain laid up for many years. Take life easy; eat, drink and be merry.” ' “But God said to him, ‘You fool! This very night your life will be demanded from you. Then who will get what you have prepared for yourself?' “This is how it will be with whoever stores up things for themselves but is not rich toward God.”” (Luke 12:16–21 NIV11) Making the most of every opportunity - sharing about the comfort Jesus can bring for those who don't yet know him (Acts 16:22-36). Sin is the greater virus Salvation is the greater healing Look for the Holy Spirit to open doors for conversation Offer to pray for people What we don't know about the virus is not as important as what we do know about Jesus. We know that the ultimate victory is his: “I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” (John 16:33) We also know that nothing in this world can separate us from the love of Christ: “Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword?” (Romans 8:35 NIV) It is sobering to see what is going on around the world as a reaction to the virus. Not only the deaths, illnesses and physical pain, but also the emotional anxiety and even panic. Let's do our best to be people who are alert to the realities of the consequences of the virus, and connected with people in their pain. Yet, also, to be those people who have a genuine hope and do not live in fear. Time of prayer: What are the prayer needs? Thank you for listening to this podcast.

“Jesus at His Core” Matthew 4.12-22 Introduction, vv12 “When Jesus heard that John had been put in prison, he withdrew to Galilee. Leaving Nazareth, he went and lived in Capernaum, which was by the lake in the area of Zebulun and Naphtali— to fulfil what was said through the prophet Isaiah: “Land of Zebulun and land of Naphtali, the Way of the Sea, beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles— the people living in darkness have seen a great light; on those living in the land of the shadow of death a light has dawned.” From that time on Jesus began to preach, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven has come near.” As Jesus was walking beside the Sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon called Peter and his brother Andrew. They were casting a net into the lake, for they were fishermen. “Come, follow me,” Jesus said, “and I will send you out to fish for people.” At once they left their nets and followed him. Going on from there, he saw two other brothers, James son of Zebedee and his brother John. They were in a boat with their father Zebedee, preparing their nets. Jesus called them, and immediately they left the boat and their father and followed him.” (Matthew 4:12–22 NIV11) 1. Jesus's core message, vv12-17 QUESTION: “What is at the core of his message?”   2. Jesus's core method, vv18-22 QUESTION: “What was it about fishermen that made them suitable?” QUESTION: “What do you think they understood him to mean?” QUESTION: “What were they leaving?”   For reflection….. What is at the core of our ‘message'? How can we communicate a message of good news to those in darkness around us? What is it about you which makes you suitable to be a disciple? What experiences, strengths, personality has God given you that contribute to making you an effective follower of Jesus? What do you understand Jesus to mean when he called you to follow? How can you best express the core of Jesus in your life this week? See also Isaiah 9.1-2; Mark 1.15; Luke 5.1-11. Thank you for listening to this podcast. You can find more episodes in our feed.

“Testing, Testing…”, Matthew 4.1-11 “Then Jesus was led by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. After fasting forty days and forty nights, he was hungry. The tempter came to him and said, “If you are the Son of God, tell these stones to become bread.” Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.'” Then the devil took him to the holy city and had him stand on the highest point of the temple. “If you are the Son of God,” he said, “throw yourself down. For it is written: “ ‘He will command his angels concerning you, and they will lift you up in their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.'” Jesus answered him, “It is also written: ‘Do not put the Lord your God to the test.'” Again, the devil took him to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their splendour. “All this I will give you,” he said, “if you will bow down and worship me.” Jesus said to him, “Away from me, Satan! For it is written: ‘Worship the Lord your God, and serve him only.'” Then the devil left him, and angels came and attended him.” (Matthew 4:1–11) What is the real test for Jesus?
