For me, our summer residential this year was such an incredibly special time. I was so blessed by it in so many ways but I think what still stands out to me the most is probably singing Jesus’ Blood by Life Worship.
That song means a lot to me anyway, but this week it was such a reminder of the pure wonder of everything Jesus did for us. It’s utterly mind blowing that he would come and sacrifice everything for us like that. He died to save us. To forgive our sins so we could be free from shame. For me, the fact that he would do that for me with all the times I screw up and get things wrong, is just incredible to think about. And it means I can sing the lines in the chorus with such joy.

“I owe my life to you my saviour, I owe it all to you alone. Your sacrifice has won my freedom. I was bought by Jesus’ blood

The whole song talks about the joy that can be found in what Jesus did for us on the cross. One day we will be able to kneel before the throne in heaven and sing our praises with the angels. Jesus is so worthy of all our praises, no matter what. And being able to come together and sing, declaring that at our residential after so long apart, was so incredibly powerful and something I will remember forever. - Cai

This week, I have had the song 'Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus' on my heart and mind for you all.

A lady called Helen Lemmel put music to this beautiful song, which was inspired by a poem written by Lilias Trotter. Helen lost her eyesight and yet wrote a song that inspires us to 'look' to Jesus, and I really think that she meant to look with your heart and mind rather than the physical sight that she had lost.

She knew that the things of earth, whether they be worries, cares, friendships, hardships and difficulties (such as losing your eyesight) in life, faded away as we focus on Jesus and the love that He shows us day by day. We can be reminded through His death on the cross, His rising again and through his preparation of a place for us one day in Heaven. I want to encourage you to listen to this today and bring your focus back to the one who is worthy of our praise. Link in bio

O soul, are you weary and troubled?
No light in the darkness you see?
There’s light for a look at the Savior,
And life more abundant and free!

Turn your eyes upon Jesus,
Look full in His wonderful face,
And the things of earth will grow strangely dim,
In the light of His glory and grace.

Thro' death into life everlasting,
He passed, and we follow Him there;
O’er us sin no more hath dominion--
For more than conqu’rors we are!

His Word shall not fail you--He promised;
Believe Him, and all will be well:
Then go to a world that is dying,
His perfect salvation to tell!

Sermon on the Mount: Humility

"At our recent Youth resi, myself and Beth G did a talk on humility. Humility is talked about a lot in the bible but can be hard to define. Ultimately, it is about recognising our need for God and acknowledging that he is Lord of everything. Pride is often described as the opposite of humility and can often be when we falsely think that we are better than others or even God! We looked at Jesus' life and teachings about humility. Philippians 2 v 6-11 talks about how Jesus, son of God showed us true humility by becoming a servant for us, taking our sin so that we could be adopted as children of God. Would we be that humble and servant hearted? Through the Holy spirit, we can learn to be humble, following Jesus' example to place others needs before ourselves and recognising our need for a Saviour." - Beth S

$Relationships: John and I spent time looking into what Jesus says about relationships on the Sermon on the Mount for our summer resi. Jesus asks us do love our enemies and to treat others as we would want to be treated. At its heart, this is unselfish, caring and very countercultural to the relationships we see on Instagram or Facebook. To bring our focus back to Jesus and imitate Him, particularly how he makes a choice to commit to love us despite our lack of commitment, is to bring God’s true purposes back into focus. Otherwise, it is just looking at a slightly blurry world without seeing the beauty and intricacies in its full detail. This is the same way that Jesus, God (the Father) and Holy Spirit intertwine with and relate to each other, and we are made in their image (Genesis 1)! It might be difficult, but we often find ourselves most free and happy when we are obeying God and living in just a fraction of the beautiful way he intended. - Abbi$
