Beside The Burn
On Beside The Burn this week, we turn to Daniel and find out how we can find blessing as we live a second choice life.


Join me each week-day for a short devotional video including a bible reading and prayer to encourage us as we enter 2022.

The Book Of Daniel
This is an excellent retelling of the story of Daniel, explaining how the various kings fit into the story. I highly recommend watching it. It lasts about an hour and a half and I will include the link each day this week so that you can watch it a section at a time if you don’t have time for the whole film. A higher quality version is available with a Amazon Prime subscription or can be rented from Amazon for £1.99.

​Let’s Pray For Graham Stockdale (prison chaplain – Maghaberry) 
Pray for Graham as he continues to provide pastoral care and reaches out to prisoners and staff. Give thanks and pray for those who have committed themselves to following Jesus, many of whom continue to struggle with the legacy of their pasts.


Carndonagh, Greenbank, Malin and Moville (Co Donegal) 
Pray for these congregations as they continue to navigate the pandemic, prioritising discipleship in church life. Pray too for their minister, Rev Philip Poots.

Re-surrender
“It begins with a decision, but then this life with Jesus, actually becoming a follower of Jesus and yielding to more and more means ‘resurrender’.”
Whether in the northern or southern hemisphere, these same skies unite us, all of God’s children, as many as the stars in the sky, just as the Lord promised Abraham. It is under these same skies that Christ’s church, His body on earth, exists today. Though separated by oceans and borders the mandate of Hillsong Worship continues under these same skies. One in heart and spirit, unified in mission and cause—to glorify the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ, to build His Church, and to serve His Church with the new song. New From Hillsong.

​Refreshment for Harder Days
All of us have surely found ourselves in a spiritual valley when we expected to be on a mountaintop. Perhaps when we least anticipated it, physical fatigue set in, or we received discouraging news, or a besetting sin returned to plague us. Troubling circumstances in our lives often converge, precipitating a change from faith to fear
