  • Trusting God Through The Struggle

    03/07/2017

    Genesis is all about personal and family relationships. Genesis 22.1-14 is an interesting passage to reflect on. You could say it’s about a father and son relationship that has the potential to go wrong. At a superficial level it appears God is testing Abraham to see if his loyalty to his long awaited son Isaac outstrips his love and devotion to him. In some ways it’s a difficult story because at first glance Abraham is contemplating child sacrifice. Traditionally this story has been seen by Christian commentators as a prefiguring of the death of Christ. God the father makes a way of atonement for sinful humanity. Jesus is the lamb of God, God’s solution to redeem a rebellious world.

  • The Campfire

    26/01/2017

    Albert and Alec talk about the prayers Alec has written this week. The theme is the campfire. After a long day walking or trekking there’s nothing better than sitting round a campfire. For thousands of years human beings have found contentment by gathering around a fire and spending time together, in song, story or comfortable silence. Each daily worship is about a moment of profound peace or contentment, when the pieces have slotted together, it could be a few minutes, a summer, a split-second when something clicked into place…

  • The Belayer Relationship

    20/01/2017

    Albert speaks with Jane Denniston, minister at Campsie Parish Church. Jane has been our prayer writer this week and has been writing about the belayer relationships. Out of all our relationships the one we sometimes value the most is the belayer relationship. Belaying is a technique climbers use. One person holds tension on the rope while the climber isn’t moving and then releases some slack when they need it to move. If the climber slips the person belaying can hold the rope tense again and stop the climber from falling far. On the journey through life you have to continually appreciate your friends and family who ‘belay’ for you. Cutting you slack and holding you back when you need it.

  • Foothills

    09/01/2017

    This week we are thinking about Foothills, those early adventures where play and imagination are as important as determination and endurance. As a child a trip up the hill in the local park can become a trek of survival against the odds to crest the highest peak… all before getting back in time for tea! Turning molehills into mountains is part of the fun of childhood.
