We need to resist our modern culture of individualism and embrace community – especially the community of faith.

This week, Donald Trump’s Republican party suffered badly in the mid-term elections, with votes for Democrats surging across the USA. Why was that? Both J. D. Vance and Donald Trump blamed the war with Iran.

“And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people.” – (Ephesians 6:18)

This Sunday, there is no service at St. George’s, but we will be celebrating with St. Luke’s at their 11am 150th service celebrations.

The sad truth is that most people live their lives ignoring or avoiding the invitation. They work hard to achieve satisfaction in life without God, through careers, relationships, possessions, achievements, family or whatever.

“For if you forgive men when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive men their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins.” (Matthew 6:14-15)
