This week our studies continue the theme from Sunday - Now And Not Yet. Each day we look at another passage helping us focus our thoughts on what we have now from God and what will be fulfilled.
On Sunday and today we were looking at Philippians 3 and one person commented how 6 words seemed to stand out to them from the passage. "Christ Jesus took hold of me" Philippians 3:12
That made me think of this hymn sung by the Gettys.
Let’s Pray For Michelle Purdy (Deaconess in Ballyclare)

Alt Presbyterian Church Pray for Rev Colin McKibbin and the elders of Alt in these difficult days. Pray too for Clodagh Dickson, Alt’s youth worker, as she prepares and leads youth work online. |

You can begin at question 12 this week and catch up by using the left arrow button at the top of the page below to see previous questions.

Heroes Of The Faith- Elizabeth Fry (7 minute audio)
The story of how a middle-class lady was able to reform the appalling conditions under which prisoners were treated in Britain and in many other countries, is a classic example of the way God can use unlikely people to extraordinary effect. https://canonjjohn.com/2021/01/09/heroes-of-the-faith-elizabeth-fry/ |
