Daily Devotions for Sunday December 13th, 2020

Third Sunday in Advent

Morning
Look Upward and Pray to hear and receive from the Living God

Reading : 1 CORINTHIANS 15 verses 1-11

Meditation : take time and consider these words this Sunday morning.
The Resurrection of Christ.
What words or images stay with you?
What encourages and challenges you today?

And then pray in response to the LORD our God

O LORD our God,
Great and Powerful One,
Living God,
Great and so worthy of praise.
We bow before You.
We lay our lives before You.
O fill us with this resurrection hope afresh
Today and Tomorrow!
In Jesus’ Name, Amen!

Midday
Pray the Lord’s Prayer as your own midday 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

Evening
Reading : read these verses again from 1 CORINTHIANS 15
Reflect on all that is said here in this part of the chapter and then Pray in response to God

O LORD, our Living God,
Hear our evening prayers we ask
As we thank you for what we read
As we look back over our day
As we look ahead to tomorrow
As we name before you those we are concerned about.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.

A Call to Saturday Evening Prayer

As part of the Kirk’s rhythm of prayer and devotion we invite people to pause and pray each day.

We offer a Daily Devotions Bible reading each morning and a focus for midday prayer.

At this time in your Saturday you are invited to pause and pray as the day closes and as you step into Sunday with others

You may wish to revisit MATTHEW 28.16-20 and consider what Jesus said here.
You may need to name others before Father God.
You may want to be still with God as you look back on your day.

Drive-in cancelled

Dear all

Sadly we have had to cancel Sunday evening due to the Tier 3 restrictions still in place for Edinburgh this week.

There is a Celtic Carols with Celtic Worship online on Saturday evening that I’m sure will be well worth logging in to.

The link for that is now on the Big Idea Facebook page.

Please pray on for other churches in Big Idea at this time….and look forward to the January online event on Sunday 3rd at 7pm!

Thanks for now
Alastair Cameron
