Today we give God thanks for the privilege of service. Let us humble ourselves before our Lord and reach for His Word for prayer.

Loving Father, we thank you for a new day and another opportunity to serve in love. As we serve today, and the week ahead, let nothing we do be done through selfish ambition or conceit, but instead with lowliness of mind let us esteem others better than ourselves. Let each of us look out not only for our own interests, but also for the interests of all of those that we encounter. Let our light so shine before men, that they may see our good works and glorify you Father, in heaven. Thank you for the amazing opportunity to share you.

In the name of our precious Lord, Jesus, we pray. Amen.

We sell a wide range of used books. Please pop into the store to have a look!

For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given; and the governement shall be upon his shoulder; and his name is called Wonderful, Counsellor, Mighty God, Father of Eternity, Prince of Peace. Isaiah 9:6 (Darby)

Isaiah is a favourite book from the Old Testament for many - it is full of precious prophecy on the coming of our Messiah. This particular verse teaches us that our Saviour would be born to the world, and a glimpse of what we could expect from His arrival on earth. At that time, noone would have any idea what this really meant - until Jesus was born, some 700 years later, thus fulfilling the prophecy of Isaiah 9:6.

Let's fast forward to the New Testament where we see in both John and Galatians (amongst others) the fulfillment of the prophecy we are taught about is Isaiah 9:6.

And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us (and we have contemplated his glory, a glory as of an only-begotten with a father), full of grace and truth; John 1:14 (Darby) 

but when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, come of a woman, come under law, that he might redeem those under law, that we might receive sonship. Galatians 4:4-5 (Darby)

Jesus always was; the Alpha and Omega. His purpose here on earth was us. He came to set the captives free. Born to die. Thank-you, Lord. That by your death, we live. That by your shed blood, we are redeemed. That by your resurrection, we live eternally with you.
