Bible Study: Hezekiah Part 2, Monday 26th November

After the defeat of the Assyrian army, Hezekiah must have been hoping for an easier life. But no, he faces a life threatening illness and after that a visit from seemingly friendly people from Babylon.

Working through 2 Kings 20, we will look at the challenges of faith faced by Hezekiah and consider what we can learn from this as we face challenges of faith today.

Come along to the Chaplaincy (61 Park Place) at 5.30pm on Monday 26th November, bring food to share if you can.

Bible Study - Hezekiah Part 1

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to be an ancient Judean King who's kingdom is facing annihilation from a seemingly unstoppable army? Hezekiah was in such a position and in this session we will examine how his faith was challenged and yet remained firm in this time of national emergency. We will also consider what we can learn from Hezekiah's story as we face challenges of faith today.

Come along to the Chaplaincy (61 Park Place) at 5.30pm on Monday 19th November, bring food to share you can. The study will be based on 2 Kings:18-19 so if you have the time to read these two chapters before coming then that would be great but if not don't worry.

MySpace, 12th November

During your working day do you make time for tea breaks? During your working day do you make time for lunch? During your working day do you make time to pray?
When someone doesn't e-mail you back or process your order, do you get angry or do you talk to God?

This week's CRISP meeting is looking at MySpace, not the now social media site, but the time and space you put aside during the day to talk to someone even more important than your supervisor or line manager, God. We will look at verses in The Bible that can help guide us and discuss and learn from each other how we should fit work around our time with God, rather than fitting that time into our work.

So come along to the Chaplaincy (61 Park Place) at 5:30pm on Monday 12th November, bring some food to share if you can.

Prayer for the Persecuted Church, 5th November

As Sunday 4th November is the International Day of Prayer for the Persecuted Church, it is fitting for us to join with others who are lifting persecuted Christians around the world to the Lord in prayer.

 

We'll begin as usual on Monday 5th November at 5:30pm by sharing some food together and then spend an hour in prayer from 6pm. If anyone supports a particular organisation or knows of some need then please bring along details with you.

 

The writer of Hebrews exhorts his readers, 'Remember those in prison as if you were their fellow prisoners, and those who are mistreated as if you yourselves were suffering.' (Hebrews 13:3). Let us who know so little of suffering for the Gospel support our brothers and sisters in this way.
