As we journey through this week….. with God – together – you may want to revisit today’s Daily Devotions from 1 CORINTHIANS 15 verse 58– as we consider this closing part of Paul’s letter….

We PAUSE with the Lord in prayer as the day closes….

We REJOICE in the help and blessings He has given this particular Wednesday – to us and to others

We ASK for His presence, peace and strength – for ourselves and for others in our church family and our nation and in our world at this time – especially prayerfully supporting the people of Syria, Israel, Gaza, Lebanon, Ukraine, Russia, Myanmar, Yemen, Goma and other parts of our world in deep need at this time

We YIELD – say Yes – to His Kingdom ways for tomorrow

Daily Devotions for APRIL 2025

“Where, O death, is your victory?
Where, O death, is your sting?”

1 Corinthians 15 verse 55

In 2025 it’s all about JESUS!

In April as we journey through Lent and Easter-time we will look at Paul’s letter to the Galatians, dip into Isaiah over the Easter weekend and then consider the truths of 1 Corinthians chapter 15.

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
Prayer – mostly for others
Evening
Verse(s) from the morning reading
Reflection and Prayer at the end of the day

Prayer for the Month of APRIL

Father God, Our God
We can but offer to you
Our sacrifice of praise
For loving us
For sending Jesus
For triumphing over
The Cross
The Tomb

Holy Spirit
Cleanse us
Fill us
Again and again
Use us
Even us

To God be the glory
Great things You have Done!

In Jesus’ name
Amen and 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
