Beside The Burn
A short  Advent devotional video each day

Let’s Pray For International Meeting Point South Belfast Pray that the light of the gospel will shine through the ministry this Christmas. The hope is to bless 200 different people who come into the Centre each week, but struggle financially, with a supermarket voucher. Pray for the Bi-lingual (English / Farsi) Alpha course which concludes with a Christmas celebration on 21 December. Praise God for the good discussions during the course.   

International Meeting Point North Belfast Give thanks for all who come to Teenie Tots. Pray that as the Christmas story is told during the Christmas special the wonder of God’s love will be clear to all. Pray also for the many asylum seekers who are so far from family and friends and who are struggling with deep loneliness.

Burnside Blog
Another Monday with a delayed Blog. The Website Host was having trouble this morning but I've found another way to post the Blog.​

Beside The Burn
A short  Advent devotional video each day

Let’s Pray For ModeratorPray for the Moderator as he conducts worship at Joymount Presbyterian Church in the Carrickfergus Presbytery in the morning and at Ballycrochan Presbyterian Church in the Ards Presbytery in the evening. Pray that both congregations may be encouraged in their mission and ministry by the Moderator’s visit.   

Worship as witness this Christmas When they had seen him, they spread the word concerning what had been told them about this child, and all who heard it were amazed at what the shepherds said to them. Luke 2:17-18. 
Pray that our Christmas worship will be a means of spreading the word as a witness to those who only attend at this time of year.

PCI global mission workers   

Pray for all PCI global mission workers in this advent season, wherever they are located around the world. Pray that each will know God’s abiding presence as they celebrate the birth of Christ. 

PCI Partners Give thanks for the life and witness of churches, missions and agencies around the world with whom PCI is in partnership, and pray especially that they will be envisioned for new initiatives in the coming year.

Let’s Pray For General CouncilRemember the staff in the General Secretary’s Department as they complete several pieces of work prior to the Christmas break. Pray especially for the vacancy of an administrative post in the department – that the right person might apply and be appointed.

Training in Ministry Give thanks for the completion of another term at Union College, and pray for students and staff – that they would be blessed with rest and refreshment over the Christmas break. Pray too for those in congregational placements, that they would benefit from being part of the church family that they are placed in - both for their own walk with the Lord, and their preparation for ministry.

4 Ways To Be Still This Christmas
Google the first four words of Psalm 46:10 and you’ll find hundreds of Christian knickknacks. You can buy wall art, mugs, magnets, throw pillows, and hand towels reminding you and yours to “Be still and know.” Some people will know the rest of the verse: “that I am God.” Fewer will know the reference.
But what do these eight words mean? Ripped from their context, they’re elastic enough to mean whatever we want.

Why Is The Virgin Birth Important - J.I. Packer
The entry and exit miracles carry the same message. First, they confirm that Jesus, though not less than man, was more than man. His earthly life, though fully human, was also divine. He, the co-Creator, was in this world—his own world—as a visitor; he came from God, and went to God.
