Sunday 27th October Notices

Our all age for Bible Sunday! This week, we look at the importance of Bible translations and meditate on the word.
This service includes times for thought and/or discussion, so maybe have a notebook to hand to write down your thoughts. God be with you as you share this time with us wherever you are and whenever you are watching!

Biblical Vision 6: New Earth (Revelation 22:1-5)

“There will be no more night. They will not need the light of a lamp or the light of the sun, for the Lord God will give them light. And they will reign for ever and ever.” (Revelation 22:5)

This future vision gives us hope now. The evil in our world is temporary, but what is good has a future and our relationship with God will truly flourish. This is God’s vision for the future, but as well as giving us something to look forward to, it should inform our plans and what we invest in and work for now.

Biblical Vision 5: Discipleship (Matthew 28:16-20)

“Therefore, go and make disciples of all nations, baptising them in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit…” (Matthew 28:19)

The key phrase in this vision is: ‘make disciples.’ The rest elaborates what that means. Disciples are to come from all nations and be given a new identity through baptism as those who belong to the God who is now known as Father, Son and Holy Spirit. They are to be taught to obey all that Jesus had taught and they are to know that Jesus will always be with them. Whatever our vision is, it must have making disciples at its heart.
