<p>We live in a noisy world! Jesus had a rhythm of being in crowded places but also retreated from the masses to be on his own -see Luke 5:16- The practice of silence and solitude (although not technically spiritual disciplines) refresh us and give us an opportunity to focus on the only voice that matters, God's. In this week's message Nick Seders continues our series with teaching on solitude and silence.<br><br>. . . <br><br>Reflection Question<br><br>- Quiet yourself and focus on the Lord.

<p>The presence of God is making (or will make) the difference in your life. It’s time we get off our but -stop making the excuse 'but'- and start making room for God. In this week's message, ICB missionary Alan Graham teaches from 2 Samuel 6 on making room for God.<br><br>. . .<br><br>Reflection Question<br><br>- God, how do you want me to make room for you?<br><br>Challenge<br><br>- Do something risky!<br><br>Scripture<br><br>- 2 Samuel 6:1-16<br>- Deuteronomy 15:7-8, 10-11</p>

<p>In eras past the value of fasting was accepted, people knew how to do it and it was assumed that if you believed you fasted. Today, unfortunately thats not the case! Most of us don’t know how to go about a spiritual fast, and we're not sure why we should or even that we need too. But fasting places us in a position to receive God’s grace and allows us to go deeper. In this week's message Susan Kennedy continues our series with teaching on the spiritual discipline of fasting.<br><br>. . .<br><br>Reflection Questions<br><br>- Does my heart long for a deeper relationship with God?<br>- Do I take spiritual discipline personally and seriously?<br>- Should fasting be a discipline that I practice?<br><br>Challenge<br><br>- Fast one meal a week for the rest of the month and use that time to focus on God.<br><br>Scripture<br><br>- John 4:24<br>- Hebrews 11:6<br>- Matthew 6:16-18</p>

<p>Simplicity doesn’t seem like a spiritual act, but God created us within time and space, so we have to create time and space for Him. The biblical discipline of simplicity -which is seeking God and his righteousness in Jesus Christ- liberates us from anything that would distract our attention away from the pursuit of God. In this week's message Nick Seders continues our series with teaching on the spiritual discipline of simplicity.<br><br>. . .<br><br>Reflection Question<br><br>- How do you need to simplify your life, in order to pursue God without distraction?<br><br>Challenge<br><br>- Create time and space to seek God by abandoning meaningless pursuits and by eliminating distractions.<br><br>Scripture<br><br>- Ecclesiastes 1:12-14<br>- Ecclesiastes 12:13<br>- Matthew 6:25-33<br>- Acts 4:32</p>

<p>We all know what prayer is, but often our prayers are focused on ourselves; our wants and our needs, rather than focusing on God. But if we posture ourselves in the right way, our prayers become different and through them we come to see the world as God does! In this week's message special guests Craig and Dana Mathison continue our series on spiritual disciple with teaching on Prayer.<br><br>. . .<br><br>Scripture<br><br>- Hebrews 12:11<br>- Ephesians 3:14-19<br>- 1 Timothy 2:1-3<br>- Luke 11:-4<br>- Mathew 6:9-13</p>

<p>Following on from the events that took place on La Rambla on 17/08/17, Nick Seders shares this message on how to deal with tragedy. <br><br>Psalm 46: 1<br>"God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear"<br><br>. . .<br><br>Reflection Questions<br><br>- Have I sought refuge in the Lord? or have I sought it elsewhere?<br>- Who can I comfort with the comfort I have already received from God?<br><br>Challenge<br><br>- In the week ahead, give yourself sufficient time to listen, process, hope, and rest before God. Then comfort others with the comfort that He gives you!<br><br>Scripture<br><br>- Psalm 46:1-11<br>- Psalm 20:7<br>- 2 Corinthians 1:3-5</p>

<p>Salmos 46: 1-2<br>"Dios es nuestro amparo y nuestra fortaleza, nuestra ayuda segura en momentos de angustia."<br><br>. . .<br><br>Preguntas de reflexión<br><br>- ¿He buscado refugio en el Señor? ¿O lo he buscado en otros sitios?<br>- ¿A quién puedo consolar con el consuelo que ya he recibido de Dios?<br><br>Reto<br><br>- En esta semana que viene, permítete tiempo para escuchar, procesar, tener esperanza y descansar en Dios. ¡Luego consuela a otros con el consuelo que Él te da!<br><br>Escrituras<br><br>- Salmos 46:1-11<br>- Salmos 20:7<br>- 2 Corintios 1:3-5</p>

<p>What comes to mind when you hear the word 'celebration'? Maybe it's a birthday party, an anniversary or a special occasion. Celebration is always a choice, and when it comes to God we have to remember to celebrate Him because it reminds us of Gods faithfulness and goodness to us.
