During our open Sunday School class this week, Brother Viv John took us through the story of the Lord Jesus feeding the multitudes, challenging us to remember that, as the hymn puts it, “Little is much when God is in it!”

Brother Viv John shared these brief thoughts on the Lamb of God after our Breaking of Bread meeting. He is worthy!

Drawing ideas together from several of the hymns sung throughout the Breaking of Bread meeting, Brother Norris shared this encouragement meditating on the Lord's desire that we be filled with joy in His presence.

Brother Collin walked us through Psalm 23, reflecting on the Lord Jesus as our loving Shepherd, the One who protects, provides, and cares for our souls.

Brother Howard Gordon took us through Genesis 24, looking at Rebekah’s love for a man she had never met. This points to our love for our Lord Jesus, about whom Peter says, “though you have not seen Him, you love Him” (1 Peter 1:8).

Brother Luke Harriman shared these thoughts on what the Lord Jesus meant when He told His followers to take up their cross daily and follow Him. While we certainly do not bear the cross in the same way as our Lord, we are nevertheless called to follow Him in suffering, and to “bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ” (Gal. 6:2).

Considering the disciples praying at Pentecost and the instructions from the Lord in John 14, Brother Collin challenged us to wait on the Lord with expectancy.

Reflecting on three times people had a desire to see Jesus, Brother Colbert Martin challenged us to consider our own desire. As we gather each Lord’s Day, how badly do we want to see Him?

Brother Luke Harriman shared these thoughts on the impact of contemplating the cross. If we allow God to lead us, He will walk us through seven phases in our attitude toward our sin that will result in a transformed life, lived to His glory.

As Paul concludes the Letter to the Romans, he prays “May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all.” Then he lists several of his fellow workers who send their greetings to the saints in Rome. Each of these individuals has experienced the gift of God’s grace in Jesus Christ. And Brother Luke Harriman draws our attention to this list that we might learn from their example just how amazing His grace really is.
