Welcome to 2024. Last Sunday evening I talked about ‘Resetting to The WAY’ – thinking about four things:

1. Resetting is the way of life with Jesus – the Bible word is ‘repent’ – which means something like resetting our minds and actions to the continual movement of the advancing kingdom.

2. We have a tendency to go astray from the way of life with Jesus – Psalm 95 says that those who disregard God’s ways do not enter His rest. Resetting is about finding our rest in the way of Jesus on a daily basis. Abiding in Him – which then leads to fruitfulness – see John 15.

3. Resetting to the Way is to do with Calling. Do what God is calling you to do. If you find it hard to work out what God is calling for – just serve where it seems right, and guidance will come.

4. Resetting to the Way is to do with watching out for the Holy Spirit. Where do you see the Spirit at work, signs of the Kingdom? Pay attention to the WORDS, WORKS and WAY of Jesus.

"Disciples listen to and obey the WORDS of Jesus, imitate the WORKS of Jesus, and do everything in the WAY of Jesus".

Do remember to set aside time to come to our two-day conference with Paul and Becky Harcourt ‘Let God Be God’ – 26-27th January. See below for more information.

Happy New Year!
