This week we were joined by another guest speaker, Amy Chesser. Amy has spent time studying her Masters of Divinity at Tabor College – focusing her capstone project on the poetry of medieval mystics.

Exploring the spiritual practice of poetry, Amy shares with us about how we can chase after and be intimate with God. Looking at what the bible says about our hearts, what shapes our heart, and how our hearts can better line up with God.

Amy introduces us to a practice that the church has been doing for 1,600 years, that can help us draw nearer to God, Lectio divina. Meaning ‘sacred reading’, this is a deliberate practice of reading the bible – taking the time to let God’s word sink that little bit deeper and allowing our hearts, our inner most self, to take in the words in a different way.

As water reflects the face, so one’s life reflects the heart. Proverbs 27:19

This week we were joined by guest speaker, Matt Gray, lecturer from Tabor College. He shares with us about the practice of confession, something that goes hand in hand with forgiveness.

Sometimes we try to hide our mess, close the door, turn off the lights and walk away. God doesn't look at our mess and leave us to deal with it ourselves. He sent his son Jesus to take on the mess of the world. (John 3:16-21)

Do you try to hide from the things in your life that you would rather just avoid and ignore?

Do you trust that God can take on your mess, or do you think it is too big even for him?

Confession is hard, not confessing is hard - choose your hard. It takes courage to let Christ shine a light on all that is happening in our lives.

“The Christ in his own heart is weaker than the Christ in the word of his brother; his own heart is uncertain, his brother’s is sure.”― Dietrich Bonhoeffer
