Sunday's Sermon: Daniel 6

Here's where we were yesterday as we draw towards the end of the Old Testament in "God's Big Story".  We'll load the talk shortly. 

'Church Fellowship' - according to Peanuts

So, next Sunday morning, when everyone's talking about Liverpool, or Arsenal, or Man U or Man City (yawn.....!), or STFTUlsterM...., or whatever sportingly happened in the previous day or two, let's try and keep our attention on what's really important, and "encourage each other in the Lord". 

Malachi 3:16 "Then those who feared the Lord talked with each other, and the Lord listened and heard. A scroll of remembrance was written in his presence concerning those who feared the Lord and honoured his name."

If you knew today was your last day on earth, what would you do different?

So, what would you do?
What will you do?

Anselm: I believe so that I may understand

I confess, Lord, with thanksgiving,
that You have made me in Your image,
so that I can remember You,
think of You,
and love You.

But that image is so worn and blotted out by faults,
and darkened by the smoke of sin,
that it cannot do that for which it was made,
unless You renew and refashion it.

Lord, I am not trying to make my way to Your height,
for my understanding is in no way equal to that,
but I do desire to understand a little of Your truth
which my heart already believes and loves.

I do not seek to understand so that I can believe,
but I believe so that I may understand;
and what is more,
I believe that unless I do believe,
I shall not understand.

- Anselm of Canterbury
