#Silence ThyKingdomCome

In our land and across our world during the 10 days in May leading to Pentecost believers and followers of Jesus were invited to pause and pray for the Kingdom of God to be experienced and evidenced anew. This was a venture created by God through the Archbishop of Canterbury and others.

As part of our daily devotional rhythm we are re-visiting the 11 posts on our website and social media pages – each Saturday morning at 8am – on the themes brought to us by the Thy Kingdom Come prayer venture leaders.

Today we are invited to pause in God’s presence – and to be still – listening.

Please take a few minutes with God – when you are able now or during the day – to be still in a time of silence.

Listen.

Expect.

Receive.

Celebrate #ThyKingdomCome

In our land and across our world during the 10 days in May leading to Pentecost believers and followers of Jesus were invited to pause and pray for the Kingdom of God to be experienced and evidenced anew. This was a venture created by God through the Archbishop of Canterbury and others.

Today we are invited to pause in God’s presence – and bring Him our prayers and songs of celebration – for who He is as our Creator and Father and in particular for all He has done for us and given in Christ Jesus!

Please take a few minutes to celebrate God’s goodness and grace to you this morning.
Celebrate a gift He has recently given to you!
Pray that when we gather together as a Church family we will experience and evidence His kingdom blessings!

O Father God
Thank You
Thank You
Thank You!
In Jesus’ name
Amen!em>

MATTHEW 28.16-20

The Great Commission
Then the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had told them to go. When they saw him, they worshiped him; but some doubted. Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”
