Morning      Choices                                                                                                     Romans 11:25 - 12:5
Andy King

Our lives are defined by the choices we make.  We make thousands of choices every day.  Most of them we are not even conscious of, and many we barely think about.

Our biggest choices have the greatest impact on our lives, so making a good choice is not just a good thing to do, but a must.


Evening      Faith under pressure                                                                                 Revelation 2:8-11
David Lockwood

There has been a great deal of attention lately given to Human Rights and Political Correctness.  It doesn’t take a scholar to find out that when reading the New Testament, there are these hard edges that need to be met head on, which aren’t necessarily PC.  

This passage helps and challenges us to remain faithful, regardless of the cost, in speaking out for Jesus and his kingdom.
