Daily Devotions for MARCH 2025

I am the gate; whoever enters through me will be saved.
They will come in and go out, and find pasture.

John 10 verse 9

In 2025 it’s all about JESUS!
In March we continue to look at some of the things that JESUS said.

We will pause at our times of Midday Devotion to pray for others in our church family, our city and our world.

We are all invited to listen for God’s voice and make our response as we journey together in our ‘rhythm of devotion’ in 2025.

These Devotions are but one way to feed on God’s Word in the morning, at midday, in the evening… to pray with Him continually through the day and even to share with others the treasures or hurdles you discover.
The Church website and Facebook page (even on a handy mobile) provide a fuller daily devotional page. However it all follows the pattern below which the information provided fits into, based on the Kirk’s origins of the Celtic and Northumbrian traditions
which we started as a church family in 2015.

Morning
Reading and Meditation on the content and Prayer of response
Midday

Evening
Verse(s) from the morning reading

Our Father, who art in heaven
Hallowed be Your Name.
Your kingdom come
Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread
And forgive us our sins
As we forgive those who sin against us.
Lead us not into temptation
But deliver us from evil.
For Yours is the kingdom, the power and the glory.
Now and for ever
Amen

Daily Devotions – 10 years later

In February 2015…we launched our Daily Devotional….in the magazine, on website and social media….. PTL for His Word and the daily opportunities we have to feed on it!

Here is the post that launched this venture…..

‘Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light for my path. I have taken an oath and confirmed it, that I will follow your righteous laws.’ ~Psalm 119 v 105

You are encouraged to make time each day for the pattern of devotions. Starting tomorrow feed on God’s Word in the morning, at midday and in the evening. Pray with Him continually. This pattern is based on the Celtic and Northumbrian traditions, which relates to the Kirk’s origins. Share with others the treasures or hurdles you discover. Let us commit together to pilgrimage with our God. You will find these devotionals being posted on the website and on facebook daily at 7am. The Church magazine provides a shorter version of this devotional.

‘May God be gracious to us and bless us that Your ways may be known on earth, and make His face shine upon us, your salvation among all nations.’ ~Psalm 67 vs 1-2
