Our 5th theme in our mini-series on PRAYER is: “Mission”

Sharing is fundamental to understanding the Christian Faith. Christ came to share in our brokenness and gave us a very important mission: to share our lives with others. To share in such a way that others might see and experience something of Christ’s self-sacrificial love through our deeds of love.

But it’s not always easy. Sharing often ‘costs’ us something. In our passage from Acts 2 we’ll explore just how radical the first Church was in distributing what they had so all ‘had more than enough’ fueled by the Spirit.

Is it still possible to live in a society where everyone has enough? Someone once said: there’s more than enough for everyone’s need, but not everyone’s greed.

This week, the 4th theme in our mini-series on PRAYER is: “Hiddenness”

Caves can be quite scary, right? We’ve all seen the films where creatures lurk in the dark or the chaos surrounding a rescue mission when someone gets lost in an underground maze. But caves can also be a place of safety. A refuge to seek shelter from a storm, to warm up by a cosy fire. 

In our reading for this Sunday from 1 Kings 19 we focus on a moment when Elijah rediscovered the importance of finding God in the stillness, the hiddenness of a cave…

This week, the 3rd theme in our mini-series on PRAYER is: “Wonder”

Being in awe and wonder of God is a form of Worship and Prayer. Often, the greatest of prayers is simply basking in God’s presence when we stare out the window and observe - taking in and being made aware of God’s presence in the beauty all around: spring, sunshine, flowers, a smile, laughter… God. Is. There.

Join us as we look at Genesis 28 where Jacob meets God and exclaims: “Surely Yahweh is in this place, and I didn’t know it”

Rev. Erick du Toit brings our weekly reflections from Kirkliston Parish Church, Scotland.

This week, we continue our series on Prayer. Why is the Bible so important to our daily time of devotion? Is it possible to pray without Scripture? We look at Isaiah 6: 1-8 & Matthew 28: 16-20 to shed light on some of these questions.

Rev. Erick du Toit brings our weekly reflections from Kirkliston Parish Church, Scotland.

This week, we look at the essence of the Christian Faith: the resurrection of Jesus from the dead. It’s kind of the heartbeat of what we stand for and without it, not much else would make sense. 

[1 Corinthians 15:12-20]

[Luke 5:1-11]

Kirk Reflections 30th January 2022. 

Rev. Erick du Tout brings our weekly reflections from Kirkliston Parish Church, Scotland.

This week, we conclude our series: New year - New beginnings - New  Opportunities considering how to accept our calling as troublemakers. We look at Jeremiah’s calling from chapter 1 and discuss how we’re all been  commissioned to speak truth to oppressive systems. This will at the best  of times cause a bit of discomfort and even trouble… if you’re bound to  get in trouble it might as well be for the right reasons!

This week, we continue our series: New year - New beginnings - New  Opportunities looking at personal resilience based upon a deeper relationship with God.
