He is risen

Notes of Meeting 6 April 2010

Picture of Jesus standing outside the tomb of Lazarus and then outside his own empty tomb.

Believe and pray for those who do not believe.

He is risen.

2 Timothy 2
1You then, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus. 2And the things you have heard me say in the presence of many witnesses entrust to reliable men who will also be qualified to teach others. 3Endure hardship with us like a good soldier of Christ Jesus. 4No one serving as a soldier gets involved in civilian affairs—he wants to please his commanding officer. 5Similarly, if anyone competes as an athlete, he does not receive the victor's crown unless he competes according to the rules. 6The hardworking farmer should be the first to receive a share of the crops. 7Reflect on what I am saying, for the Lord will give you insight into all this.
8Remember Jesus Christ, raised from the dead, descended from David. This is my gospel, 9for which I am suffering even to the point of being chained like a criminal. But God's word is not chained. 10Therefore I endure everything for the sake of the elect, that they too may obtain the salvation that is in Christ Jesus, with eternal glory.
11Here is a trustworthy saying:
If we died with him,
we will also live with him;
12if we endure,
we will also reign with him.
If we disown him,
he will also disown us;
13if we are faithless,
he will remain faithful,
for he cannot disown himself.

Notes of meeting 30 March 2010

Thank God for the gift of life that we have been given. Also thank him for the gift of our guardian angel.

Ann Liddell joined us tonight and introduced us to praising for a lengthy period of time ‘pushing through’ with the praise even after we felt tired and allowing the Spirit to set a rhythm for the praise. We allow God to use this intercessory praise for his purposes without specifically having in mind any particular intention
While we were praising it was felt that the angels and saints were with us joining in our praise.
