Daily Devotions for June 2025

But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.    

Matthew 6 verse 33

 During 2025 we are looking daily at the theme of  ITS ALL ABOUT JESUS. So far we have considered some of the things He did and said.

And pausing at our times of Midday Devotion to pray for others in our church family, our city and our world.

In June we continue to journey with the Thy Kingdom Come 2025 – a global prayer venture – and look at the Early Church in Acts.

 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.

Prayer for the Month of JUNE

Acts 17:3

“This Jesus, I’m telling you about is the messiah”

Lord, fill our hearts with a thirst to share the message about Jesus,

Your Son, Our Messiah.

Fill us with the same passion of the early church,

to bring the message of salvation to the world.

Give us the strength to overcome any persecution we may encounter.

Hold us strong.

Amen

The Lord’s Prayer

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

Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed,
