Despite our very real struggles, trials and persecutions God breathes life into us. As the text says for the Christian though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day.

The Sabbath is God’s Gift to you and me, it is not meant to be a burden, a demanding obligation, Sabbath remembrance should result in joy.

Jesus is Lord of the Sabbath and he has declared that the Sabbath is for you, it is a gift, a blessing and a help, and you and I are invited through the Sabbath to enter God’s timing, plan and rest.

Sabbath cannot save you, but Sabbath is a precious gift from God that rejuvenates and restores us and draws us into a deeper relationship with Him.

1 John 5:1-5 asks each Christian to root themselves in three actions as they navigate conflict, hardship and uncertainty. These three actions are faith in Christ, love for the Father and Obedience to God’s Commands.

The Church is God’s temple, it is the place where he lives, it must be built on the foundation of Jesus Christ, we are called to build it with care and then we enjoy the blessing and responsibility of being the Holy house of God.

You are invited to the church, Christ’s body, and as the Body we follow Christ’s call receiving; purpose, meaning and ethics.

The Church is God’s people; chosen, a royal priesthood, holy nation, special possession; all this is a wonderful privilege and serious responsibility.

Encountering and putting your faith in the risen Jesus Christ is the difference between a fearful life that is stuck, uncertain and drifting and a life full of Peace, purpose, and power.

Believe in the risen Christ, he is the source of eternal life and hold firmly to him as your hope in all circumstances.
