Don't make New Year Resolutions - do this!

I can’t believe it’s been so long! Last post was 11 December!

I hope you’ve had a lovely Christmas… The next few posts will be backdated as we’re catching up from holiday time. I hope they bless you as preaching them has blessed me. Thank you for listening.

Oh, and there’s a Workparty around the church on Saturday at 9.30am. Come along and lend a hand #loveourchurch

Oh, and I’m experimenting with Compline Night Prayer on Sunday nights 9.30pm on facebook and youtube. I invite you to join me and Roni.

Wishing you a very happy and blessed New Year ahead!

Luke 2:40–52 ESV And the child grew and became strong, filled with wisdom. And the favour of God was upon him.

Now his parents went to Jerusalem every year at the Feast of the Passover. And when he was twelve years old, they went up according to custom. And when the feast was ended, as they were returning, the boy Jesus stayed behind in Jerusalem. His parents did not know it, but supposing him to be in the group they went a day’s journey, but then they began to search for him among their relatives and acquaintances, and when they did not find him, they returned to Jerusalem, searching for him. After three days they found him in the temple, sitting among the teachers, listening to them and asking them questions. And all who heard him were amazed at his understanding and his answers. And when his parents saw him, they were astonished. And his mother said to him, “Son, why have you treated us so? Behold, your father and I have been searching for you in great distress.” And he said to them, “Why were you looking for me? Did you not know that I must be in my Father’s house?” And they did not understand the saying that he spoke to them. And he went down with them and came to Nazareth and was submissive to them. And his mother treasured up all these things in her heart. And Jesus increased in wisdom and in stature and in favour with God and man.
