Dear Hope family,

Thought for the Week

Humble yourselves

1 Peter 5v6-7 “Humble yourselves therefore under God’s mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time. Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.”

Peter has just quoted, “God opposes the proud, but gives grace to the humble”, from the book of Proverbs which is all about living wisely. It is so easy to become proud, self-sufficient and self-confident, but we are called to be humble, with God-sufficiency, and God-confidence. He is the only place that we can actually put our full confidence. Why? Because of his mighty hand! There is nothing beyond his reach and nothing he cannot handle. If you put yourself under his hand, he is not going to crush you, but protect you and at the appropriate time lift you up. This is our God. He cares for you and for me. He has your ultimate well-being at heart. That means that you can literally put all your worries and cares, all your burdens and anxieties onto him: you do not need to carry them anymore; they weigh you down with no purpose; you cannot be relied on to handle them – but God’s mighty hand can.

The Covid-19 situation reminds us of this – we do not know what tomorrow brings, but God does. So let’s humble ourselves before our Almighty Father.

With love and blessing,

Roland

1. Prayer Requests – If you have requests for prayer which you would like the church to pray for, please send these to Natalie who can then put them on the WhatsApp group.
2. Prayer cards – If you have lost your Hope Community Church Prayer Card and would like another, please message natalie@hopeadmaston.org.uk and she will post one to you. It is vital we continue to pray for each other at this time.
3. Communication – There will be no email next week.
4. Holiday – Sue and I did have a studio in Northumberland booked for this next week leading up to Luke and Esther’s wedding. Obviously, neither can take place at this point, but we are still taking the week out. Terry Hotchkiss (Elder at Barnabas, Shrewsbury) is speaking on the broadcast this Sunday and will also be joining the Zoom call to talk about Alpha and witnessing to friends. You are welcome to ask him questions. I plan to make a briefer appearance than normal – as you will see, but will join another church on Zoom for the morning. During next week, please refer any pastoral matters or organisational relating to 28^th June to Tony. We will be back on Zoom on Sunday 28^th.
5. Magazine – We would normally distribute a magazine to the neighbourhood at the end of June. We have decided to postpone this until the start of September which we feel will be more strategic in the unfolding lockdown, be more acceptable for our neighbourhood and help with current workload levels. We will collate material in late July.
6. Fun Week – The Admaston Fun Week is not going to be running in its normal way at the end of July for obvious reasons. However, St Christophers is planning for the week commencing 20^th July:

•  a daily Facebook live feed for about 15-20 minutes each day. This will include some professionally sourced material as well as Sharon Johnson’s own material.
• There will be some challenges for children to make
•  and we are hoping to run a Scavenger Hunt in a Social-Distance form.
• There will be a prayer walk for people who normally help during the week

1. Donations –

•  Telford Foodbank with £100 of food (Andrea is purchasing)
• Covid-19 Christ Central Zambia appeal – £500 – Although the infection rates and death rates are comparatively low, the economic impact on individual families is more significant than here as there is not the safety net. There has been a doubling of “orphans” being supported by the churches. The lack of technology also limits the ability of shut churches to meet on-line as we do. Joseph Mwila’s churches are seeking to support more than 2000 households with full food rations at £30 per month each for 3 months. The total need is for £200,000, and they are seeking £100,000 of this from UK churches.  We are giving £500 to this now. There is a video from Joseph here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=117&v=uk-0OpwR2cc

Dear Hope family,

Thought for the Week

Pentecost

Acts 2v1  “ When the day of Pentecost came they were all together in one place.”

It was 11 weeks ago this weekend that we last met in person on a Sunday morning!

There was a group of about 120 believers who were constantly meeting for prayer between the Ascension (last Thursday) and Pentecost (this Sunday). In fact they may well have all been staying together – or at least many of them were (1v13)? Very close company! Can you imagine?

I cannot tell for sure, but it seems to have been quite an introspective period – supporting one another with Jesus gone, and choosing a leader to replace Judas. This was not negative, because they were also being obedient to the instruction of Jesus “to wait for the gift my Father promised”. I suspect they had no idea how long they might need to wait. After a week, maybe some were getting restless – how long would this be? How good are we at waiting for God to enable? What is God doing with you during this period?

So the early disciples enjoyed close fellowship, but the apostle John later wrote to his recipients, “so that you also may have fellowship with us” (1 John 1v3). In other words he was having fellowship with them remotely through “snail” mail. John sees this fellowship as not being dependent on close physical proximity, but on fellowship with God (1 John 1v6-7). Let me encourage us to prepare ourselves to meet together on-line by ensuring our good fellowship with God, so that we too may enjoy close fellowship with one another.

This Pentecost, let’s come together in faith on-line, expecting the Holy Spirit to be among us just as Jesus is among the churches in John’s vision in Revelation 1. Let’s expect him too to be working in the hearts of those around us and who listen in on a Sunday morning. The Holy Spirit is definitely not restricted by physical space.

With love and blessing,

Roland

Dear Hope family,

Thought for the Week

Ascension Day

Mark 16v19  “ After the Lord Jesus had spoken to them, he was taken up into heaven and he sat at the right hand of God.”

It was 10 weeks ago this weekend that we last met in person on a Sunday morning!

Jesus is no longer constrained by the limitations of this world. He is now in heaven. To be honest, I do not know exactly what that means in terms of the science, but I do know what it means in terms of politics. Jesus is now sat at God’s Right Hand. Jesus is in a place of authority and power. Jesus is in ultimate control. All other powers and authorities are beneath him. The power by which he was raised from the dead is still very much in action. The politics of this world has always been uncertain: in the long view, there has always been trials and traumas of suffering, rising and falling of nations, and the ebb and flow of societies. But the Christ’s kingdom and His Church are continuing to grow. In fact times of uncertainty and difficulty is where the love of God and our love for our neighbour shines through.

Tony has published a new lockdown release of “God is my Rock” (see link below). It expresses the truth of the certainty God gives us in uncertainty. Let’s commit in this time of uncertainty to focus our minds on Jesus, and to maintain that stance when times seem more certain too.

Another key reminder with Jesus’ ascension is that he is coming back “in the same way” (Acts 1v11). When will that be? I don’t know, but the day is definitely getting closer. Let’s keep a look out (Matthew 24v42).

With love and blessing,

Roland

Dear Hope family,

Thought for the Week

Lockdown – Praying Evangelistically

John 15v26-27  “²⁶ When the Advocate comes, whom I will send to you from the Father—the Spirit of truth who goes out from the Father—he will testify about me. ²⁷ And you also must testify, for you have been with me from the beginning..”

It was 8 weeks ago this weekend that we last met in person on a Sunday morning!

What is God doing? God in his love is always seeking the lost. He uses a whole variety of means to do that. Among many Muslims today he is using dreams and visions. Maybe at this time he is waking people in our land up to the realities of life.

We have a responsibility to testify to what God has done (v27 above), but I note in v26 that the Holy Spirit is also testifying. It is therefore vital that we work hand-in-hand with the Holy Spirit. Without his testifying, we will get nowhere. Telling others about the love of Christ is completely reliant on Him to use the words we express. This gives two key dimensions to evangelistic prayer:

(i)                  Ask God to work in the hearts and lives of people around us by his Holy Spirit.

(ii)                To ask God what he is up to and to give us hearts that are willing to join in with Him.

I encourage you, if you are not already, to pray daily for 5 people that you know who are not yet Christians, and to pray for your heart to be sensitive to God’s leading in conversation with them. As we go through further change over the coming weeks, this may be an opportune time – and you and God are a force to be reckoned with.

With love and blessing,

Roland

Dear Hope family,

Thought for the Week

Lockdown – Keeping Safe

Hebrews 4v15  “[Jesus] was tempted in every way as we are – yet was without sin.

As we know very well, we are in lockdown at the present moment so that the contagious Covid-19 is not passed on. We are protecting ourselves and others. This is very much like the Old Testament Law method of purity. Every measure was taken to avoid being contaminated by someone else or something else that might be “unclean”. Hands were washed, people were segregated, objects should not be touched.

We also know very well that we are seeking a vaccine which works inside each of us to enable our bodies to fight Covid-19. This will mean that we can be free of all the measures being taken to protect us. This is like the good news of Jesus Christ: he made the way for God’s Spirit to come into each of us at our new birth. For the ultra-clean Pharisees it was horrific that Jesus mixed with those who were likely to contaminate him (the leper, the sinner, the prostitute etc). But Jesus was not contaminated by these at all: he was immune to it. Jesus passes this immunity on to us by his Spirit: he transforms our hearts and minds so that we can resist sin and temptation and remain pure and holy. Paul repeatedly says “live by the Spirit, not the sinful nature”. This means that we are set free from the restrictions of the Old Testament and we can live lives of freedom, mixing with sinners and yet remain pure. In short, if you have faith, “He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world” (1 John 4v4), and you can stand against the sin of the ungodly. This is not a call to be stupid, but it is a call to live by faith.

May God fill you with his Holy Spirit today and empower your mind and heart to fight the battle with sin. You are now a person of faith in Jesus, not of fear of contamination.

With love and blessing,

Roland

Dear Hope family,

Thought for the Week

Priority in the Lockdown

Acts 28v30-31 “For two whole years Paul stayed there in his own rented house and welcomed all who came to see him. Boldly and without hindrance he preached the kingdom of God and taught about the Lord Jesus Christ.”

Paul was under guard in Rome (28v16), but it was in his own home. Hopefully our lockdown doesn’t last 2 years!!

Paul had a very clear priority in life! It meant that whenever he came to a “lockdown” situation, whether it was on a ship, in a prison, or in his own home, he got on with his priority.

Maybe this is a time when your priorities are revealed by what you find to do? What is your number one priority in life? What are you aiming for? What are you seeking to achieve? Maybe lockdown is giving you more time to achieve this. Maybe you are needing to explore how you can do this at this time: each situation presents a new opportunity. Maybe lockdown is causing questions about your real purpose.

Jesus is clear that our priority is “the kingdom of God” (Matthew 6v33); for Paul, this was to reach others with the good news of Jesus. What ways can you/we find to share the good news of Jesus at this time?

In this light it is wonderful to have two Alphas and the Assemblies group on the go (see below). Carpe diem!

May God fill us with his heart for the lost and a courage to step out,

With love and blessing,

Roland
