  • "Let the wise listen and add to their learning" | Racism Class 1 | Interview with Tony Cameron

    How do we continue to learn about racism and how it affects Christians? 

    “let the wise listen and add to their learning,  and let the discerning get guidance” (Proverbs 1,5)

    We will go much further and faster if we learn how to listen. In the first of two classes, I interview Tony Cameron and explore the impact of the SCUAD group in East London. 

    In our conversation we reference two books. The links are below:

  • Parenting Class 1 | "Parenting through prayer" | CJ and Sheree Wakefield

    In the first of two classes on parenting, CJ and Sheree Wakefield share important principles regarding prayer and parenting. The Scriptures they reference are below:

    General reminders on call to prayer

    1 Thessalonians 5:16-18

    “Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you” 

    Colossians 4:2

    Devote yourselves to prayer, being watchful and thankful.

    Prayer when parenting is tough

    1 Peter 5:7

    Cast all your anxiety on him, because he cares for you.

    James 5:13

    13 Is anyone among you in trouble? Let them pray.

    1 Timothy 2:8

    Therefore I want the men everywhere to pray, lifting up holy hands without anger or disputing.

    James 5:16

    Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective.

    Psalm 102:17

    17 He will respond to the prayer of the destitute; he will not despise their plea.

    Philippians 4:6

    Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.

    Romans 8:26

    In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans.

    Mark 9:29 (HSCB, KJV, NKJV)

    And He told them, "This kind can come out by nothing but prayer and fasting."

    Prayers for our children:

    Ephesians 6:18

    And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all your children.

    Ephesians 1:18

    I pray that the eyes of their hearts may be enlightened in order that they may know the hope to which he has called them, the riches of his glorious inheritance in his holy people,

    Ephesians 3:16-19

    16 I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, 17 so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, 18 may have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, 19 and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.

    Luke 11:1

    One day Jesus was praying in a certain place. When he finished, one of his disciples said to him, "Lord, teach us to pray, just as John taught his disciples."

    1 John 2:15

    Do not love the world or anything in the world.

    1 John 4:16

    ...know and rely on the love God has for them.

    -------------------------------

    1 Chronicles 16:11

    Look to the LORD and his strength; seek his face always.

  • "Elijah: A man just like us" | 1 King 17 | "Where is God when survival is threatened?" | Malcolm Cox

    Elijah is a kind of Old Testament superhero. He heard from God, performed astonishing miracles - including the first restoration from death in the Bible - and yet collapsed in an emotional funk. 

    How helpful! He was someone "just like us" - James 5:7.

    Join us as we study through Elijah's life from 1 Kings 17 to 2 Kings 2 over the next four weeks.
