Looking at the contrasting story of blind Bartimaeus and the rich young man in Mark 10 Jane continues in the series of prayer and spirituality. In examining how each man faced the challenge around seeking to encounter God it looks at the reasons behind their contrasting willingness for turning and changing. Of thus causing us to reflect on what we really value which is also reflected in what we are willing to let go. Coupled with this is the willingness to seek God and to hear what God has to say. That the question of “what do you want Jesus to do for you ?” is linked to a willingness and curiosity to find what God asks of us and it is this that puts us on the quest of Christian spirituality (John 17:3)

 The reading is from James 1:16-25 and continues on the short series of prayer and spiritualty. This time looking at how prayer and the deepening of spirituality is closely linked to a life of change and turning, of repentance and moral reflection and a reorientation toward the light . Changing circumstances require a change and a readiness to respond. Our relationship with God can enable this. As society and culture changes new moral choices are required.  Yet we are not constantly changing our minds and spinning round to suit our situation as there are times to stand our moral ground but there are many times to change by small degrees. Prayer and reflection on God’s word help ( re) orientate ourselves to the Light of God. As the potter moulds the clay as it is by being tuned in the potters hand our lives are shaped and formed by God hand in our lives living in the acceptance of God’s timing in the light of disappointments.

In the second week of the Olympic outreach, having said goodbye to the YWAM team from Latvia last week and hello to the second team from the DTS base from Kona in Hawaii, this is the team’s last Sunday with us as we gear up for the closing ceremony of the Olympics in the evening. The talk is on Matthew 20:1-16 of workers hired at the final hour and reflects on the upside down principles of Gods kingdom. That as friends and co workers we need to make room for each other, reflect on our motives for service and to be willing and available for God’s invitation to recruitment.

This is a simple and short talk for the Holiday Club “True Champions” weekend and our first weekend into our Olympics programme. Jesus is the “Yes” to all Gods’ promises ( 2 Corinthians 1:7-20) and that as a follower of Jesus our “yes” should mean “yes” and an our “no” mean “no“( Matthew 5:33-37).
