Online resources

Jesus teaches us to pray, 'Give us today our daily bread' (Matthew 6:11) and He tells us that, 'Man does not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God' (Matthew 4:4). Just as we need to feed our bodies daily for their health, strength and vitality, so we need to seek food for our souls. Only God's Word in the Bible can give us this food for our souls because it brings us to Jesus who is the Word made flesh (John 1:14) and the bread of life (John 6:35)...

Let me warmly encourage you to give more time to God's Word. Primarily, that means reading the Bible itself and praying over what we read so that God's Word will dwell in us richly (Colossians 3:16). In the absence of church services there are plenty of books and online resources available to help us study the Bible. Today, I have put on the page for ministry while the chapel is closed some recommended online resources and a copy of the list is below. In the coming days, I shall put more recommendations in the blog. 

Perhaps you've never really formed a habit of regular Bible reading, let alone more detailed study; or perhaps old habits have gradually been lost. Now is a great time to get going again. If we are feeding our souls on God's Word then we will get stronger spiritually and will be far better equipped to live - not just now in this present crisis, but always.
