The God Who Speaks

United in prayer for the People of Ukraine

Psalm 31:21-24 (NRSV)
Blessed be the Lord,
for he has wondrously shown his steadfast love to me when I was beset as a city under siege.
I had said in my alarm,
“I am driven far from your sight.”
But you heard my supplications
when I cried out to you for help.
Love the Lord, all you his saints.
The Lord preserves the faithful,
but abundantly repays the one who acts haughtily.
Be strong, and let your heart take courage,
all you who wait for the Lord.
Amen.

The Meaning of Life

Bishop David Evans, Auxiliary Bishop of Birmingham, continues his new series on The Meaning of Life using the Bible and modern philosophy to help explore some big questions. Six themes, outlined below, are being explored. 

Identity – it’s not all about me but about us.
Generosity – giving and giving away.
Adaptability – being and becoming.
Empathy – are we each other’s keeper?
Paradox – managing without resolution.
Community – building now and beyond.
