Geoff and Mary Weekes bring this morning's devotion from Micah 6:8. The people of God in Micah's day were caught up in endless religious observance. Yet in Micah 6:8 Geoff and Mary help us see what the lord really requires of his people, a life pleasing to God is a life that reflects the character of God. Most clearly we see the character and motivation for a life pleasing to God in Jesus himself.

This morning's Lent devotion comes from Psalm 103, Roger Henwood helps us think together about what God is really like. It may be easy to think of God as a strict taskmaster, yet in Psalm 103 we see that the Lord is truly a good, gracious and compassionate God!

Adam, Elinor and Elizabeth rose bring this morning's devotion from Matthew 16:21-27. Our attention is drawn to Jesus words as he looks ahead to the cross, he speaks of the suffering he would go through to save his people.

Ross and Allayne take us to 2 Cor 12 for this morning's Lent devotion. We find that Paul had a thorn in the flesh, something really painful. Yet in this the Lord met him with grace in Jesus. Our weaknesses may be great, but though we are weak, by the Lord's grace, his  strength is at work in us.
