This week we will be looking at another of the stories Jesus told from Luke’s gospel, the Parable of the Rich Man and Lazarus. An appropriate parable for Homelessness Sunday!

Harvest – Sowing for Growth (Luke 8:1-15)
“The earth is the LORD’s, and everything in it, the world, and all who live in it;” – Psalm 24:1
Let us remember the ultimate source of our food. The verse above reminds us that everything in the earth belongs to God, he is the creator and source of all things. Ultimately, he is the one who provides the food we enjoy, so it is only right that we stop to thank him!
Rejoice Always, Pray Continually! (1 Thessalonians 5:12-28)
“Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.” (1 Thessalonians 5:16-18)
Today is the last in our series of talks on 1 Thessalonians.
Ready for the Day (1 Thessalonians 5:1-11)
“He died for us so that, whether we are awake or asleep, we may live together with him.” (1 Thessalonians 5:10)
They Think It’s All Over (1 Thessalonians 4:13-18)
“For we believe that Jesus died and rose again, and so we believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in him” (1 Thessalonians 4:14)
Living to Please God (1 Thessalonians 4:1-12)
“Finally, brothers, we instructed you how to live in order to please God, as in fact you are living. Now we ask you and urge you in the Lord Jesus to do this more and more.” (1 Thessalonians 4:1)
Our Hope, our Joy, our Crown (1 Thessalonians 2:13-3:5)
“And we also thank God continually because, when you received the word of God, which you heard from us, you accepted it not as a human word, but as it actually is, the word of God, which is indeed at work in you who believe.” (1 Thessalonians 2:13)
Dare to Share (1 Thessalonians 2:1-12)
“We loved you so much that we were delighted to share with you not only the gospel of God but our lives as well, because you had become so dear to us.” (1 Thessalonians 2:8)
We will be considering how Paul and his team went about sharing the good news of Jesus in the early days of the church and what lessons we can learn today.
God Speaks to Depression (1 Kings 19:1-15a)
‘After the earthquake came a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire. And after the fire came a gentle whisper.’ (1 Kings 19:12)
We learn more about God’s help for Elijah.
The Trinity at Work (Romans 5:1-5)
Romans 12:12: “Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer.”
This Sunday is Trinity Sunday. Many Christians do not like to think too much about God as Trinity, because it feels impossible to understand how God can be one and yet three persons. This is part of the mystery of God and we should not be surprised that the nature of the Creator of the Universe is beyond our comprehension when we are still struggling to figure out his creation! We will be looking at how the different persons of the Trinity work together to bring us hope.
