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.
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 Roberta Irvine (deaconess, Greystone Road, Antrim)
During the covid-era vacancy, pray that members would not just ‘tread water’ spiritually, but would take discipleship and disciple-making even more seriously. Pray they will rise to the challenges of the era and area, with cultural intelligence and biblical, servant lives. Cahir (Co Tipperary) & Fermoy (Co Cork) Pray for members of the congregation as they engage in outreach ministries. Pray in particular for the continued efforts to reach out to young people. |
