Seeking the face of God  II

28/9/2016

0 Comments

 
O Lord you have examined my heart
and know everything about me.
You know when I sit down or stand up.
You know my thoughts even when I'm far away.

I can never escape from your Spirit!
I can never get away from your presence!
If I ride the winds of the morning
If I dwell by the farthest oceans
Even there your hand will guide me
And your strength will support me

You made all the delicate inner parts of my body
And knit me together in my mother's womb.
Thank you for making me so wonderfully complex!
You workmanship is marvellous - how well I know it.

Search me O God and know my heart;
Test me and know my anxious thoughts.
Point out anything in me that offends you
And lead me along the path of everlasting life.

(from Psalm 139)

Holy holy holy is the Lord God, the Almighty
The one who always was, who is, and who is still to come

You are worthy, O Lord our God
to receive glory and honour and power
For you created all things
And they exist because you created what you pleased

To the Lamb:
​You are worthy to take the scroll
and break its seals and open it
For you were slaughtered
and your blood has ransomed
people for God
from every tribe and language 
and people and nation
And you have caused them to become
a Kingdom of priests for our God
And they will reign on the earth

Worthy is the lamb who was slain
to receive power and riches
and wisdom and strength
and honour and glory and blessing

Blessing and honour and glory and power
belong to the one sitting on the throne
and to the Lamb forever and ever.

Amen.

(from Revelation chapter 4 and 5)

We need God in every area of our lives. We give ourselves to him, and we come as we gather, seeking his face. 'Your face Lord I will seek' (Psalm 27 v8)

We had a good summer in Urban Life... 
​
Our 'One Dish International Supper' was a good time with food from all over the world and around 40 guests spending the evening with us. There were over 10 different nationalities, enjoying each other's company and each other's food, and building relationships.

    Urban Life  - followers of Jesus living life and bringing life in an urban setting! 

    The blog gives a snapshot of our life together as we post things we are learning about; things we believe; songs we love;  readings and prayers to strengthen and help us; and general information about what is happening in our community.

    So here are updates,  reviews, reminders and support for those who are part of our community, and a chance to 'look in' for those who are interested and wondering what we are all about.
