Give Us Today The Food That We Need

Contributed by Warner Pidgeon on Nov 11, 2012

A short talk from a series on the Lord's Prayer at our evening service. To pray, "Give us today our daily bread" is to recognise that God is the giver. It may also require us to be part of the answer to other people's prayers as per James 2:15-16.

The Lord’s Prayer is the model for prayer taught by Jesus. It is the skeleton, the frame, upon which we build when we pray. Yes, we can and do pray it word for word, but if we think the Lord’s Prayer is like a fixed recipe, or worse, if we think this model prayer is like a spell, or ...read more

Thanksgiving - It's All About Perspective

Contributed by Rev. Matthew Parker on Oct 13, 2013

We might find it comes easier to complain and gripe than to give thanks. In that, we're a lot like the people of the Bible, and, just like them, we sometimes need a heart-adjustment.
