CHURCH LIFE 2022
Sentinels: Discerning New Life
In Scripture, we read of sentinels as people stationed on a wall or tower, keeping watch for approaching danger – either over towns, the sea or over fields or vineyards. The prophets of the Old Testament sometimes described themselves as sentinels; listening for the will of God and speaking that out – in warning or encouragement – to God’s people.
A sentinel’s task is two-fold: there is firstly that practice of watching and noticing. But the watch is no good unless the observations are acted on or passed on. A sentinel is therefore someone with immense courage: a keen observer who can spot opportunity and risk, and work with others to bring transformation. Who are these miracle people? Through the grace of God in Jesus Christ and in the power of the Spirit, they are us! This Lent, it is our prayer that this study will take you and those in your small groups through a journey. Join one of our Groups on Wednesdays 9 March-13 April 2:00-3:30pm and 7:30-9:00pm at 49A Mungavin Avenue. Just turn up or contact Terry on 027 600 1926. |
