Transcending Worry - Philippians 4:1-13 considered at the time of Covid 19

John Bloor

Sinopsis

Can we transcend worry? How do we find contentment? Is it possible to stand firm when the world around us seems so uncertain? Can we still find hope in God's written word?
Transcending Worry takes us on a journey of reflection through some verses from the book of Philippians 4 1-13. Familiar and much loved these wonderful verses written by St Paul to the Church in Philippi give us a lot to think and contemplate: "Do not be anxious about anything...... I have learnt to be content in all circumstances..... stand firm ........". How can these verses help us today?
John Bloor, a licensed Reader and preacher in the Church of England, a Christian for over 50 years, a confessed worrier, writes having experienced a "light bulb" moment whilst listening to a talk in church on these particular verses. Inspired and written in a time of great anxiety and worry as Coronavirus swept throughout the world. John very much believed he was called by God to write and share these insights and thoughts with others.
Taking several years to complete, consideration is given through personal stories, painful times and life experiences. We are transported to Paris; The Louvre Gallery - a Rembrandt painting, the Arc de Triomphe and Notre Dame Church to help us contemplate and provide thought provoking questions.
The book includes contributions, stories and life experiences from Saju Muthalaly, Bishop of Loughborough and other friends and church family members that very much informed John's thinking and writing.
We are called to serve our faithful and loving God. What does this mean? A closer look at the Rembrandt painting, The Supper at Emmaus, we are challenged to think and reflect on what we might bring to the table.

Blood the Currency of the Spirit...

Jacqueline Johnson

There is a bounty on the head of every man, an asking price that must be paid. Without payment, man becomes tangled in the weeds of life, never breaking free to pursue the dream of his heart or his purpose. One man stepped forward to pay the debt, and now there is an answer, a paid in full answer to free man from the plagues of darkness. Somewhere out there exists a God who can rectify and restore, who can truly make crooked places straight, who can repair the breach, who can make all things work together for good, if we choose to love Him. By its definition, religion is the way that is right where the end is not destruction. That is the reason God never offers Himself to man as religion; God offers Himself as a Father. Father means, there is a personal deal between God and His children, and the treasures of love that He offers will heal and perfect the heart. 
  
Blood was the currency used to release the soul from bondage because it is the most effective source of power in the Earth and in the Heavens. For those of us who have not been rendered callous by the deeds and promises of an unfulfilling religion, the soul still waits for truth. Break free from the prison of failure and defeat with this companion guide to prosperity. Build success in layers by discovering the truths that govern the most powerful currency of life, blood.

Lent - The Season of Repentance...

Esau McCaulley

Christianity Today Book Award Finalist—Bible and Devotional
"Lent is inescapably about repenting." Every year, the church invites us into a season of repentance and fasting in preparation for Holy Week. It's an invitation to turn away from our sins and toward the mercy and grace of Christ.
Often, though, we experience the Lenten fast as either a mindless ritual or self-improvement program. In this short volume, priest and scholar Esau McCaulley introduces the season of Lent, showing us how its prayers and rituals point us not just to our own sinfulness but also beyond it to our merciful Savior.
Each volume in the Fullness of Time series invites readers to engage with the riches of the church year, exploring the traditions, prayers, Scriptures, and rituals of the seasons of the church calendar.
