Tell Your Story (2)

Telling your story blesses you - it's part of what of helps us to overcome the devil.
Rev 12:11 “And they overcame him by the blood of the lamb and by the word of their testimony. They did not love their lives so much as to shrink from death.”

The Devil is defeated, by the death of the Son of God, (the blood of the lamb)
Declaring that Jesus has won, strengthens our faith, helps us to resist temptation, reminds us that satan is defeated - makes us more bold!
Do you know that by the Blood of Jesus we are:
redeemed (paid the price, bought back) and rescued;
justified (acquitted of all charges, just as if I’d never sinned)
cleansed from sin;
sanctified (set apart from the condemnation of sin )
 
“You cannot go into all manner of deep doctrines or curious points, but you can tell to all those around you that “There is life in a look at the Crucified One”. You can bear witness to the power of the blood of Jesus in your own soul. If you do this, you will overcome men in many ways.”Spurgeon

Guest Blog: Esther in Indonesia

I'm delighted to welcome Esther Ross-Watson to my Blog today! She is a dearly loved member of our Kerith family. She and her late husband Michael served as missionaries for many years. Esther bravely made the decision to travel again, and she has recently returned from Indonesia. Here's her story:  Whilst Michael was on his last days on earth in August 2017 he received a request from the Island of Madura, Indonesia asking us to return to the town of Pamekasen, Madura, Indonesia where we had begun our Missions work in July 1973 exactly one year after we were married. They were keen to have us see what God had been doing in the years since we’d moved on and we excitedly said ‘Yes’ we will come!   Obviously that had to go on hold for a while because I didn’t feel I could, or even wanted to go alone! Anyway around March/April time 2018, I begun to feel a gentle nudging of the Holy Spirit urging me to think some more about it! It was like a feeling of wanting to know

Our Living Hope

Not sure what happens with my blog...or me writing my blog! Can't believe I've been away from it for almost two months. Oh well, no condemnation! Let's pick it up and start again :) Yesterday was a great day in Church! I was so challenged and encouraged - I love Sundays and all the different ways God shows His love and who he is to us. Natalie Jones preached at both our morning meetings in Bracknell , she gave such a good message on generosity, be sure to catch it when the podcast comes on our website, but for now, watch a  summary of Natalie's preach At the 6pm meeting, we had Paul Manwaring sharing about culture : the 4 Gamechangers - again, a really challenging message to check out if you didn't get to hear it live. I wore my HOPE earrings yesterday - sometimes I deliberately  choose to wear them as a practical symbol that I am choosing HOPE - that I choose Jesus, I choose trust, I choose hope. I'm so glad I did, as throughout the day I felt God speak
