Into the Pray

Hello!

Welcome to Into the Pray and thank you for listening. (Don’t miss an extended YouTube conversation between Nick and Steve Buckley on Boxing Day here).

This is the final episode of Into the Pray for 2021 and we couldn't be joined by better people!

Please stay tuned to the end of this podcast where Gwil performs an impromptu acoustic version of his new song, Like Jehovah.

Gwil & Beth Davey are involved in the leadership of New Hope Christian Centre in Norwich, England. You can watch this podcast here.

Gwil is a gifted worship leader and singer/song-writer (please see his Spotify artist link here) and has a new single out, entitled Like Jehovah, in January. Here's a the pre-save link for that new song!

Beth is also involved in leading an exciting and pioneering work with children for the surrounding Norwich vicinity. Please take some time to read Beth's blog here.

It is a fitting end for this final episode in our "All the Prophets" season to be one in which ‘beholding worship’ has its place: when all is said and done, there is no-one like you, Jehovah.

Thank you to Gwil and Beth for joining us and sharing so honestly.

Dear All,

It was lovely to connect with one of our supporters, Peter, yesterday via zoom and spend an hour or so chatting together.

Today’s podcast is as a pause in our City of Temples series as we go into the Christmas holidays.

Instead, what you're about to hear is the audio of a YouTube video premiering this evening at 7:30pm GMT. 

Related Oswald Chambers devotional here.

"Why I Love (but disagree with) Christian Concern" is a heartfelt expression of standing with the leadership of CC (and other fine para-church organisations ) but also, in so doing, an honest expression of what I believe to be true - and not true - pertaining to the voice of the coming Lord Jesus to our sleepy, arrogant, calloused, unfaithful church and nation.

Should the Church be calling the government to account for closing the churches? Should UK church leaders be revelling in this?

Via a brief examination of CC's new magazine released this week, I can only conclude not.

With the aggressive and ramping evil that we will all be aware of to some degree, this is my best effort to explain what I believe to be the major disconnect that currently renders the Church both sitting duck and laughing stock.

Hello and welcome to Into the Pray. Thank you for listening in.

Nick is joined this morning by Josh Fortune, a church pastor and very talented film-maker and animator serving in Woolwich, London.

It has been a joy to meet with Josh in recent months as he brings a rare sense of honesty and transparency regarding both the church at large and his own leadership within that.

Please sit back and be refreshed by Josh's openness and honesty fuelled by a desire to know the power of God working in our churches!

Hello!

Thank you for joining us in our teaching sessions through 1 Corinthians.

Please consider sharing this podcast to your networks for us. Here is a preview of this evening’s vlog.

Today we finish chapter 13 by focusing on vv8-13.

"Beloved, we are God’s children now, and what we will be has not yet appeared; but we know that when he appears we shall be like him, because we shall see him as he is." (1 John 3:2)

Here are the helpful AMPC definitions for you:

Faith: Conviction & faith respecting man’s relation to God & divine things.
Hope: Joyful and confident expectation of eternal salvation.
Love: True affection for God & man, growing out of God’s love for us and in us. 

And the blog article r.e. the inability of Jannes and Jambres to create gnats is here. 

The vlog session later today (featuring the thoughts of other quality church leaders) is focusing on the 1993 Waco disaster in Texas, USA.

Why is David Koresh's "messianic" cult relevant to the disruption of the Holy Spirit today?

Hello!

Welcome to the Into the Pray podcast and thank you for joining.

Our Friday focus on 'All the Prophets' continues today with the help of our Dad, Ant Franks!

Many thanks to you again, Dad, for faithfully preparing as you always do.

You can also watch this podcast via YouTube here.

One of the thoughts that stayed with us having listened back again was the thought of Amos being taken by the LORD from his context and commanded prophetically into something new.

How are we open to this convicting/compelling/correcting work of the Spirit today?

But the LORD took me from following the flock, and the LORD said to me, ‘Go, prophesy to my people Israel.’ (Amos:15)

Hello!

Thank you for listening in to Into the Pray.

This week's Wednesday session is a follow-up from Nick's open letter to the Church last week. You can read this here.

You can watch this podcast on YouTube here.

The bottom line is that false theology and false doctrine has spread and is spreading like gangrene throughout the Church.

Church leaders/Bible teachers are more accountable than those whom they lead (James 3:1) but we are all accountable before God for the diet that we consume, both for our physical bodies - temples of the Holy Spirit - and for our spirits.

Is the church that you go to faithful? Is the church that you lead faithful?

Hello!

Thank you for joining us on Into the Pray!

Today Nick and Mairi kick back in a more relaxed conversational style to approach the next few verses of 1 Corinthians in our study series, City of Temples.

This conversation is also available to watch on YouTube.

The focus of today is vv 4-7 of chapter 13.

Drawing on Mairi's expertise as a French teacher, we begin to think about the less familiar reality of this chapter which is that it should never be wrenched out of its context for wedding ceremonies without the direct application for which it was written: the often painful anguish of Christian discipleship.

Here is a related video on this very same struggle that I think, if we're all being honest, we will all relate to in one way or another.

Whether we absorb these words in a wedding ceremony or in the normal, daily rhythms of Christian community, we often conclude that we must simply buckle up and "try harder".

However, the reality is that unless He creates this crescendo of His fruit in our lives (love/agapé) - unless we grow in understanding how much we have first been loved - we are never going to change beyond temporary/sporadic improvement.

Hello!

Thank you for listening to Into the Pray!

For our latest Friday session looking at "All the Prophets", it is a joy to spend time talking with John Betts from Norwich, the most senior guest that we've hosted on this podcast.

Leading within both the local and national church scene for more than 50 years, John carries an infectious passion to see biblical truth once again resound from British churches.

Talking broadly around the mysterious biblical prophet, Ezekiel, grab your Bible and sit back and listen to John and Nick discuss the church, prayer and the hope of reformation and renewal.

This conversation is also available to watch on YouTube.

Hello!

Thank you, as ever, for listening to Into the Pray!

We're recycling our 2016 worship song, Jesus Come, because we didn't ever make a music video for it and because you might not have heard it!

The spoken word video for this song is here and the brand-new music/lyric video is here.

We hope it’s a blessing!

The essence of this song has increasingly become the essence of everything that we do including, at the right time and Lord willing, helping a local community to emerge where we're living.
