2 Chronicles 20. Ps Hilary Williams concludes our Firm series looking at the example of Jehoshaphat under attack. Judah's King faced down a very real threat to his kingdom, but God lovingly leads him into battle and victory. It is tempting for us, even when we seek God, to pray in fear and make the issues in front of us our focus. Instead, we must learn from Jehoshaphat, and let our prayer be more about the faithfulness of God, who we can trust to be our champion.

Psalm 23. Anoj Joseph continues our Firm series by looking at this familiar psalm. Perhaps the best known passage in the entire Bible, this psalm encourages us that in even in the toughest situations, God is our loving shepherd and provides comfort and leading through these valleys. Like the psalmist, we need to trust in the keeping power and loving leadership of our God - firm in our faith that He will lovingly lead us and equip us in our battles.

Psalm 40. Ps Hilary Williams continues our Firm series by looking at this well known psalm. David tells of a God who is capable of saving and has been faithful in the past - and even as he waits for deliverance, he can lean on God's continued faithfulness. We can learn from David's pattern by likewise waiting in expectation of His power, remembering how faithful God has been. We can also know that Christ has already brought the ultimate deliverance through His cross.

Guest speaker Dr Jacqueline Grey shares with us a timely word on maintaining faith under fire. Dr Grey contrasts two kings in the days of Isaiah - Ahaz and Hezekiah. While Ahaz was an example of faith that was somewhat self-serving, earthly and buckling under pressure, Hezekiah was a king whose faith in God was tested and proven in trial. We need to remember that faith is less about making things we want to happen, and more about complete trust in God even when we cannot be certain of His plans.

1 Peter 5:6-11. Dharsh Williams continues our Firm series by considering Peter's closing remarks in his first letter. We are commended to stand firm in our faith - with the backdrop that all over the world, people are doing this differently but for the same cause. We have a common enemy, and the common battle for us all is to question the goodness of God. As the apostle implores us, we need to counter this by standing firm and completely in the already assured victory of Christ, and thereby, resisting the enemy.
