We love prayer! It is powerful and effective and it is a really important in our relationship with God. He invites us to be co-producers in His plan, which is so awesome! So we are going to have two weeks focussing on prayer across all of our groups and events 🙏🏼 we are so excited and hope you are too! We will be praying about loads of topics and hope you’ll join us 🙌🏻 #voiceyouth

From Max Lucado’s ‘God Came Near’:

“Jesus. Have you seen him? Those who first did were never the same. “My Lord and my God!” cried Thomas. “I have seen the Lord,” exclaimed Mary Magdalene. “We have seen his glory,” declared John. “Were not our hearts burning within us while he talked?” rejoiced the two Emmaus-bound disciples. But Peter said it best. “We were eyewitnesses of his majesty.”

His Majesty. The emperor of Judah. The soaring eagle of eternity. The noble admiral of the Kingdom. All the splendor of heaven revealed in a human body. For a period ever so brief, the doors to the throne room were open and God came near. His Majesty was seen. Heaven touched the earth and, as a result, earth can know heaven. In astounding tandem a human body housed divinity. Holiness and earthliness intertwined.

This is no run-of-the-mill messiah. His story was extraordinary. We can’t regard him as simply a good teacher. His claims are too outrageous to limit him to the company of Socrates or Aristotle. Nor can we categorize him as one of many prophets sent to reveal eternal truths. His own claims eliminate that possibility.

Has it been a while since you have seen him? If your prayers seem stale, it probably has. If your faith seems to be trembling, perhaps your vision of him has blurred. If you can’t find power to face your problems, perhaps it is time to face him.” - Simon

Today, I was stuck in Easter break mode and remembered mid afternoon that I had a post to write 😂 thankfully, God is gracious and you all are, too (I hope!). I want to focus on these verses today:

“One of the criminals hanging beside him scoffed, “So you’re the Messiah, are you? Prove it by saving yourself—and us, too, while you’re at it!”

But the other criminal protested, “Don’t you fear God even when you have been sentenced to die? We deserve to die for our crimes, but this man hasn’t done anything wrong.” Then he said, “Jesus, remember me when you come into your Kingdom.” And Jesus replied, “I assure you, today you will be with me in paradise.””

‭‭Luke‬ ‭23:39-43‬ ‭NLT‬‬

I often wondered how it was fair that there were some people who honoured God their whole lives and this criminal received a place in heaven. It made me feel like I was attempting to honour God for nothing. Have you ever thought the same? Why all the hassle if we get to go to heaven if we repent and receive God’s grace on our last day anyway?

The more time I spend honouring God and have slipped into habits that aren't honouring to God, the more I am aware that it is a joy to know God on earth and nothing else satisfies that need for more. And the more I spend time with God, the more I marvel at all Jesus did and is to us. It is a little taste of the paradise that Jesus refers to. It doesn't mean that it is always easy or we immediately see the benefits, but living with God is worth every step.

Have you ever experienced a bit of paradise when you're feeling close to God? One experience that stands out to me was really simple. I asked God to be with me in a tricky situation, and I felt a thought come to my mind that I felt was God. It was "I am already with you, you don't need to ask." I felt peaceful and calm where I had previously felt stressed and worried. Those who get saved towards the end of their life don't get to experience these little tastes of paradise, and they won't be able to see God that day knowing that they were a good and faithful servant in the time that they had. It's a joy! - Abbi

There are two main things that always stand out to me in this passage.

Firstly, Jesus tells his disciples what it is they need to do next and when they go into the village, they find everything exactly as he said it would be. Not that some things were similar to what he said would happen. But every single detail was perfect, mirroring Jesus’ words precisely. The bible doesn’t tell us the disciples reaction to this. Verse 32 just says “those who were sent ahead went and found it just as he had told them.”
I don’t know about you but I would have been absolutely amazed if I was one of those disciples. Just to experience the sheer power that Jesus had. I’m not surprised that the disciples praised him as they did later on in the passage.

Secondly, I remember reading something Abbi wrote last Easter about colts and how a young male will not let anyone ride it without a great deal of proper training and will buck and kick at anyone who tries to. Yet Jesus simply climbs on this colt and rides through the gates of Jerusalem. There’s no mention of the colt acting up or messing around because Jesus had such power over the scenario.

Jesus’ authority over this whole situation is shown so clearly through these two small points of note. Something that may seem insignificant to us at first. But actually when you think more about them, are two amazing shows of Jesus’ power. - Cai

"This parable Jesus told has so much to teach us. Today, I’m going to focus on what this parable might show us about where we find our joy, contentment and worth.

Ultimately, this can always be found in the words of verse 31: “‘my son’ the father said, ‘you are always with me, and everything I have is yours.’” This is truth for us when we believe in Jesus. That God is always with us and that in heaven we will share in everything he has forever. What a great hope!

However, in the two brothers we see two mistakes that can be made. The first brother seeks to find his joy elsewhere. He leaves to find somewhere else to place his worth and purpose and finds that it leads him to living with pigs. The second brother fails to remember and rejoice in this truth that is true for him everyday. He misses the joy that can be found in gratefulness and, instead, comparison is the thief of his joy.

I wonder if there is a brother you relate to more today? Do you find yourself placing your worth and contentment in things other than the truth of verse 31 like brother one? In achieving good grades? In the opinions of others around you? In experiences you feel you need to have?

Or maybe, like brother two, you forget to be grateful for the truth of verse 31 and miss out on a deeper daily joy that could be yours?

Be encouraged that the Father has open arms to both these brothers even when they make these mistakes and he continues to long for his best for them and for us. - Alice

#MusicMonday - Tremble (Mosaic MSC) Sometimes I can get anxious about every day little situations and it can feel so overwhelming and I sometimes forget that God is always there walking beside me and he is in control even when I can’t see what he’s doing I just have to trust that he’s already won the battle. I always play this song usually on the bus on my way to college whenever i’m feeling anxious and it helps me to switch my focus to God and realise that he silences my fear and that he makes the darkness tremble! God always promises peace. It also helps me to turn my worries into prayers and just to focus on the fact that Jesus is so powerful and he’s not going to let me down. All we need to do is sit back, be still and realise we can’t do it by ourselves but Jesus can! He is in control! I like putting this song on and just sitting in silence and declaring the lyrics over me! This song speaks so much truth and you can just put it on anywhere and declare Jesus’ name over situations and places in the world or your life where it feels dark. God is above every single worry, every storm, every single situation and he loves you so much! This is probably one of my favourite songs! I also just love how much it shows the power of Jesus’ name. Speaking Jesus’ name silences the enemy and makes the darkness tremble! - Hannah

"In Luke 11:1-13, Jesus reminds us of the importance of asking God for things. In verse 3, we are reminded of the line in the Lord’s prayer: “Give us each day our daily bread”. There are many things in my life that I take for granted – I am fortunate enough to have food on the table, and easy access to clean water, among other things. This verse is a great reminder for me that these things are coming from God, and it is important that I rely on him, and ask him for these basic necessities, but also to remember to give thanks for them.

Later in the passage, we read the well known verse “ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you”. What a great reminder that God is there, waiting for all of us on the other side of a metaphorical door. If you ever find that you are struggling to draw close to God, why not try taking some time, away from distractions, and just asking for him to join you. You may not feel him there with you at first, but we have been given a great promise in verse 13: “how much more will your Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!” - Lydia

"I found this passage particularly challenging. How often do we hedge our bets, wanting to keep ourselves safe and well, or just want to stay up to date with trends and buy nicer clothes or a new phone? For me, all my friends are at a point where they are progressing in their careers or exploring buying houses, which feels a bit bigger than having new clothes but it is the same principle! On the other hand, I know I do not want to sell all I have like Jesus suggested and the thought is a scary one.

I will let you in on a secret... I don't think Jesus is asking us to sell all we have. We are to be generous with what we have and honour God with the blessings He has given us, but this doesn't mean selling everything for most of us! If you feel convicted in your spirit and want to pare down to give more to others, then yes, but God doesn't ask the majority to do this.

I think Jesus hit a nerve in this young, wealthy man, as I reckon His trust was in his possessions rather than in God. This is the real lesson - putting our trust in other things or putting our possessions above God in our lives is where the problems begin. Not only do we begin to fear what happens if our security is taken out, but to put other things before God is to sin.

I wonder what comes up for you thinking about this. Do you feel criticised, uncomfortable or even frustrated? Take a moment to reflect on this today. How does this apply to you? What priorities do you need to rearrange? Is there anything stopping you from prioritising God?" - Abbi

(Part 2/2) "The seeds which fall among the thorns represent those who hear the good news but allow the busyness, pleasures and riches of life to turn their attention away from Jesus. Particularly as we are coming out of lockdown, its so important to keep our minds fixed on Christ because before we know it we will be consumed with ridiculous amounts of activity and busyness as we enjoy the things we have been deprived of. But remember, Jesus is all we need, in Him we can achieve our heart's desires, our biggest dreams and our full potential which is amazing for each one of us. So, to conclude with the last area of scattered seed; the good, nutritious soil. This represents people who are good hearted, honest and devoted to Christ. They cling to God's word and as a result produce an abundant harvest. We all have the potential to do this and today let's choose to have God's word at the forefront of our mind, refusing anything to get in the way." - Hannah

(Part 1/2) "The Parable of the Farmer Scattering Seeds. This is probably a very familiar parable to many of us and one we have probably studied in Sunday school so it may be easy to just brush off and say 'yeah I know what God is saying about this.' However it is so important to revisit what we may consider as simple parables and see what hidden treasures God has for us in them. Trust me, there is always more with God!

Jesus describes a farmer scattering seeds in different areas of land. He says the seeds which landed on the footpath represent those who hear the good news but allow the devil to come and prevent them from believing it. Its so easy to believe the lies the devil continually hammers at us as they can have a detrimental affect on our relationship with God and prevent us from achieving our full potential in Christ. The seeds which fell on the rocky soil represent those who hear and receive the good news with joy but have no deep roots so give into temptation and fall away. Again, we can all fall into the trap of temptation and if our faith isn't firmly cemented in God then we will really struggle with keeping our eyes on the path set our before us by God. Once we have a life deeply rooted in Christ, this will become so much easier: things like starting each day by praying and giving the day to God, reading your Bible or just simply putting on worship music whilst you get ready can ensure your roots are in the best place." - Hannah
