A believers identity “in Christ” means we are 1. Saved Rescued from sin’s penalty (2 Cor 5:21) 2. Sealed Marked by the Spirit (Eph 1:13-14) 3. Secure Eternally safe in God (Rom 8:38-39) 4. Sanctified Set apart for God (1 Cor 6:11) 5. Sent Christ’s ambassadors (2 Cor 5:20)

What we do externally is an outflow of what is happening internally. - A great little thought to start the day.

Sin is a robber. It robs you of: 1. Joy (Ps. 51:12) 2. Peace (Ps. 32:3) 3. Blessing (Jer. 5:25) 4. Direction (Ecc. 6:7) 5. Fellowship with God (Ps. 66:18) 6. Assurance (1 Jn. 2:28) 7. Ministerial effectiveness (1 Thes 5:19) Sin never provides but it will surely deprive.

God is: • Omnipotent • Omniscient • Omnipresent • Infinite • Holy • Good • Just • Merciful • Gracious • Loving • Faithful • Glorious • Sovereign He’s worthy of all worship, now & forever.

Daniel slept in the Lion's Den. Peter slept in prison. Jesus slept in the storm. No matter your circumstance, choose to rest knowing Gods got you.

God is greater than…. God > my anxieties God > my stresses God > my insecurities God > my worries God > my failures God > my efforts God > my sins God > my mistakes God > my everything

Daniel slept in a lion’s den 🦁 Peter slept while in prison 🔐 Jesus slept through a storm ⛈ It is possible to rest in God’s peace, despite our circumstances 🙏

What is your life built upon.? Is it the firm foundation of Jesus Christ, the only immovable foundation or is it built on the things of the world, which will fail you. When the rains come and the winds blow, if you are in Christ you will be safe.

Pray instead of worrying. Pray instead of stressing. Pray instead of panicking. Pray instead of overthinking. Pray instead of assuming. Pray instead of fearing. In every situation, pray.

In seasons of joy... GOD IS GOOD. In seazons of sorrow... GOD IS GOOD. In seasons of waiting... GOD IS GOOD. In seasons of suffering... GOD IS GOOD. God is good, and He is good to us.

Here’s a word of warning. “The devil is a master manipulator and he is more intelligent than you give him credit for”. For the child of God, stay close to Jesus and read the word of God. In it you find these words, “you shall know the TRUTH and the TRUTH shall set you free”.

One of the GREAT experiences of the Christian life is the personal relationship we enjoy with our God. To trust God is to seek God. And when we seek Him we will desire more of Him.

We are so excited to announce our new youth group, "Hope Youth!" Grab your friends and join us for some fun, games, food, friendship and so much more. Starting Thursday 30th January, (7:30pm) the club will run every Thursday during term time. And it's for those in S1-S6 .

"The fear of the Lord is not about being afraid of Him, but standing in awe of His holiness, surrendering to His wisdom, and living in reverence of His power. True wisdom begins where humble obedience to God takes root."

We must never forget—if we are to grow in grace, and therefore grow like Christ—that the One we trust, love, and serve is a crucified Savior. To follow Him means taking up the cross, as well as denying ourselves. It means a crucified life.
