Notes

In this talk we hear from Ken Pullen, Debt Centre Manager for Christians Against Poverty (CAP), in Peterborough.

He gives thanks for the financial support from St. Peter's, which aids the work that CAP do in our area and we hear a powerful testimony of someone who has been helped by CAP. We are encouraged to support those in need and to welcome strangers, just like Jesus.

Amazing Grace

Bible Text: Jonah 1:1-17 |

The story of Jonah and the big fish is very familiar. But Jonah’s story shows us that if we truly understand God’s mercy and grace it may take us in directions we would rather not go and towards people we would rather not care about. We are reminded we do our own running away from God , we should respect and love those who are different to us, we need to understand afresh God’s grace, His undeserved favour towards us, which is the central message of the gospel.

Who Is My Neighbour?

Bible Text: Luke 10:25-37 |

An expert in the law is intent on catching Jesus out. Each time, though, Jesus turns the questions back onto him! Seeking to justify himself, having acknowledged the summary of the law, to love God with everything he's got and love his neighbour as himself, he asks 'Who is my neighbour?'

The great story of the 'Good Samaritan' leaves him in no doubt. The man who put himself out. The man who put himself at risk. The man who put his hand in his pocket.

The final words of Jesus give us all the same challenge, to 'Go and do likewise'
