Thought for the Week (Page 3)

Presence not presents
Christmas is just around the corner but let’s take the pressure off ourselves this year. Instead of doing or spending more, who else might you invite and include?

Pray for the world cup
This week we’re thinking about the football world cup and how Christians might respond to sports washing.

Not special, but loved
A reminder: the God who made all things knows you and loves you

Donating and distributing
What do nerf wars have to do with wealth distribution? Joel is not sure either but it doesn’t stop him from trying to link the two in our weekly thought. To donate or find our more about the Bay Foodbank visit www.thebayfoodbank.org.uk

Tik Tok, U-Turns and Forgiveness
This week Joel reflects on what social media and politics tell us about our society and how Christians are called to be different.

Sunday Best
How do you prepare yourself to draw close to God?

Values
This week Joel has been reflecting on values and meetings (and the value of meetings?!)

Get over it
This week Joel has been thinking about how bad God’s people were and how good he is (and also about football).

Pruned
How willing are you to be shaped and changed by God? Our thought for the week: Pruned.

Regular Programming
In our thought for the week Joel reflects on how we deal with unscheduled interruptions to life.

Where is God?
This week Joel encourages us to look for God in whatever situation we find ourselves in.

Not Alone
In this week’s thought Joel reminds us that we are never alone, even in the hardest of circumstances and challenges us to draw alongside one another.
