‘Every day, we face the choice between following Christ or the world, with various influences pulling us in different directions. Our faith requires daily decisions to follow God's call, or go our own way. Remember, God chose you first. Will you choose Him.’

'The human race, now, is still as empty and hungry as it was when Jesus shared our life on earth and when He was moved with a compassion by a hungry crowd – not just hungry for bread and fishes or hungry for knowledge but hungry for wisdom. Jesus is still the best teacher we’ve got!'

Revd Tony Miles: 'What are you looking for?' by Methodist Central Hall, Westminster

'As a church I believe we have pastoral calling, to build the church, a prophetic calling to speak truth to power. And to feed the people in God’s name spiritually and practically and in the power of the Holy Spirit.'

‘Learning to eliminate hurry can help us re-discover the life of love, joy, and peace that Jesus wants for us.’

God has promised us his abiding presence on this journey. Even in the storms of life.

He has promised us his peace that passes all understanding…. peace the world cannot give.

Peace that cannot be purchased on or offline.

Most importantly, we have the reward of his promised eternal life.

Today the invitation from God is to know that it is in our weakness that we are made strong, for it is then that God is at work most powerfully in our lives, for ourselves and for others to see. So, delight in your weakness, boast in it even, for God will use our places of brokenness to shine powerfully in the world.

Do we trust in a God who is true, faithful, and just; do we believe in a Creator who’s seeking to redeem what has been made? Do we trust in a loving God whose nature is to rescue from the grip of sin

and enable hope and new life through his son, Jesus the saviour of the world?

Let us trust in the Lord, who commands the winds and the waves, and find our peace in Him, no matter what storms we face.

'There is no gospel in which Jesus remains buried in the ground like a dormant seed. Like Jesus rose from the tomb, the kingdom of God will always burst forth, bringing light, laughter and life.'
