Meetings

Wendy felt she should read most of Acts 2, which was a word given to many of us at the FGB New Year conference recently. The importance of being filled with the Holy Spirit. The importance of speaking in tongues, which was the first thing the gathered disciples did when filled. It was a word well worth looking at again. …

We started by reading a passage that the Lord had laid on Wendy’s heart. Isaiah 49:22 – 26. It speaks of judgement and mercy. Wendy felt it was rather like the world we live in, where people act in a way that merits the judgement of God – and yet the mercy of God is so real, and we are …

We started with a reading from Isaiah 57 by Wendy. Judgement – the same today. Mercy – the same today. The same God and Father. Praise and worship for 20 minutes or so. Sensing his presence. Reassuring. Blessing us. Barrie read psalm 1, and the first 14 verses of Deuteronomy 28. He had been seeking a word for the year. …

“Every child bring one toy, and hold them up in turn…” Praise God we have been delivered from this crudest form of manipulation, copied by church after church to try and entice children and parents into their church buildings Christmas Day. And such an interminable bore. We’re free.  Liberty indeed. Let’s worship God! Christmas morning. Stockings. Kitchen. Breakfast. Then daughter and …

Monday 21st December 2020 Dear Liberty people. How did you handle yesterday (Sunday)? Feel free to share on our site, and perhaps inspire the rest of us into more creative worship. You may recall that the previous Sunday, Wendy and I walked round the village, chatted with around 14 people (socially distanced) in groups of twos, threes and fours. We …

The forecast was rain later, so we decided to walk earlier. Then the forecast changed to rain sooner, but we walked anyway. We were hardly out of the house when a car flashed its lights and there was much waving and smiling. A friendly village. We wonder who they were. We stopped and exchanged smiles and greetings with around 14 …

We met as usual the morning of Sunday 6th December 2020. Just the two of us – until restrictions are eased. After committing our time together to the Lord, Wendy started by reading psalm 107, and instead of going into praise and worship, we spent time looking at the psalm. I love this psalm. But then, I love whichever psalm …

Why praise God? Because He changed my life forever, around 55 years ago. Why worship God? Because He is Who He is – God, Creator, One before we each will stand, Judge, Saviour, and so much else. Why worship Him during lockdown? Because circumstances are a total irrelevance. So Wendy and I get the guitar out, commit our time to …

We are told so often in scripture not to complain, and yet there seems to be so much from within the Church today. Look for the opportunities and potential! It was a bright morning Sunday, and with the lockdown, there was no set time for us to worship – so we walked in the early morning sunshine and enjoyed the …

Just the two of us meeting again, which can seem boring? No way – this is live worship, where the Spirit of the Lord is, and we participate. We find this more exciting and meaningful than screens, but appreciate the advantages for those who do. What did we do? Wendy read Psalm 111, and said why it was meaningful to …
