We probably would not have liked living during the time of the Roman empire - but it was a time of great change, and the early church was finding its feet. Paul, was writing to a church that had both Jew and Gentile people in it - those "under the Law (of Moses)" and those not under the law, and Paul spoke to each group separately ... but his underlying message is that the outward signs of the law are not the issue - as Christians, it is our relationship with the law that is written within us. This is the basis of our unity.

Books: The Battlefield of the Mind Author: Joyce Meyer ISBN: 0446691097 Publisher:Time Warner International A reviewer on Amazon writes: Joyce puts into simple, humourous language the answers to the struggles experienced by many Christians as we attempt to 'renew our minds' with the Word of God. She speaks in a simple and straightforward manner, identifying with those of us who have problems and sharing with us her own experience. This book encourages and teaches us how to overcome the mindsets which have held many of us back for far too long. Waking the dead Author: John Eldredge ISBN: 0785261656 Publisher:Nelson Publishers,U.S. Amazon site says: Presents the heart as central to life. Not only is the heart essential; the heart God has ransomed is also good. Building on these foundational truths, Eldredge shows readers why real Christianity is a process of restoration, where the broken parts of our hearts are mended and the captive parts are set free.

But, you only learn that,when you start losing stuff you find out, life's a game of inches. So is football, because, in either game,life or football,the margin for error is so small.

We claw with our fingernails for that inch, because we know,when we head up all those inches,thats gonna make the difference, between winning and losing! Between living and dying!! I'll tell you this: in any fight, it's the guy who's willing to die,who's gonna win that inch and I know, if im gonna have any life anymore, it's because I'm still willing to fight and die for that inch because, that's what living is! The six inches in front of your face!! Now, I can't make you do it: you gotta look at the guy next to you, look into his eyes! Now, I think you're gonna see a guy, who will go that inch with you.

Metaphorical bombs strike if anything with even greater impact that the atom bombs used to end the 2nd Wolrd War. Divorce, abuse, Alzheimerrsquo;s, cancer, depression and many more shells have exploded and are exploding all around us. How are we in the name of the God we love and the Lord we serve going to defuse those bombs either to prevent the damage or to bring healing into it? In this Easter season we believe in new life and in resurrection and those things must in some way or other apply to those pains and potential pains. I have ministered in two university cities and in both parishes there was a huge ministry in the vicarage for lonely and homesick students. In one of those parishes a seaside parish another huge proportion of ministry was to lonely elderly people who had moved away from their traditional home to find a dream. Then one partner had died leaving the other lonely and desolate.

In Amble, Northumbria, it is a culture that has given up on God and a church that has given up. Maybe 200 people out of a community of 6000 people go to church on Sundays. Romans 2:4 talks about the kindness of God which leads us to repentance. "Kindness" appears about 50 times in the Bible - mainly in the Old Testament. We believe that God has shown us kindness through loving us and accepting us in Jesus and we want to live our lives in a way that shows that kindness to the community. Bonus track! Erica tells us something about their work in Amble.

What does this ... Bill Hybels, the founding and senior pastor of Willow Creek Community Church often says "The local church is the hope of the world". What does this mean? What does it mean for Pathway - where the focus is not on the building we occupy? Many cathedrals and stately homes provide mirrors so that you can look at the decorative ceiling without having to strain your necks. But the mirror, even if it is clean and free from imperfections cannot show the entire ceiling - but without looking in the mirror first, you may not realise that the ceiling is worth looking at. In the same way, as Christians, we should be mirrors reflecting Christ - we may be imperfect, limited reflectors, but as people look at us, they should see enough of Christ to want to have a look directly.

Wouldnrsquo;t it be great if our heart beat so much with the heart of Jesus that we would meet a need and know what Jesus would want us to do and do it without complaining or whinging. That does not mean it wont be scary or risky. But just letrsquo;s remind ourselves of what we believe. We believe that there are many rooms in our fathers house and that there is a room for as many people in Chilwell as we can welcome in and for those of us that trust Christ it means that we show in our lives and actions that we are doing this out of a confidence that one of those rooms is also for us. We believe that Jesus is the way to life and we believe that he wants us to point others to him. We believe that he forever long has given us this place as a base to serve him from. A good base and we praise him for it. As we believe Jesus in all these things lets believe that this year 2007 will be best year of Pathwayrsquo;s ten years. A year of growth in all kinds of ways and a year in which we glorify our master Jesus by doing him the courtesy of believing and trusting him.

Some are very affluent, others like Lagos have a large population of people living in very poor conditions. Jesus says that he is going to prepare a place for us, but how much does it really mean to us? To many of the world's population, there is a hope that the future will be much better than their current conditions, but is our hope where our money is?

Over the next three weeks we will be looking at John 14:1-4 where Jesus tells His disciples, and us, not to be troubled but to trust Him. The image of a house with many rooms can be used in various ways. One is obviously a description of heaven, but probably not as literally as we sometimes think, but another is a description of Godrsquo;s kingdom right now, here on earth. There are many rooms in Godrsquo;s family home where He wants us to live and the great thing is that He wants us to lsquo;decoratersquo; them in different ways and have some individuality. Just like in your house there are some areas that are more communal, where family members, and sometimes visitors, spend time together and these spaces are more accessible and open to different peoplersquo;s needs. But there are also more private rooms, like bedrooms for example, that are only really used by one or two people and these rooms are more tailored to their needs and tastes. A teenagerrsquo;s bedroom generally looks quite different from mum or dads, it certainly sounds different (and if itrsquo;s a lads room then may even have a, how can we say it, distinctive smell!) Well wersquo;re looking at the kingdom of God in the same way, some areas of church life are supposed to be more open, accessible and public but there are other areas where worship and prayer become more private, intimate affairs, between you and God. This is the way it is supposed to be, the way God designed it to be. This year at Pathway is going to be a time where we focus our outreach into three very specific events, and culminate in a fantastic Christmas celebration where we are hoping, praying for and expecting to see both main rooms of the building full. Although the events through the year will be quite different, they will be similarities in terms of who we are hoping will attend. The aim is to build relationships up over the year through contact at various points and lsquo;build a fringersquo; in terms of membership of Pathway. One of the most successful methods of sharing the gospel in our society and in this age is to keep aiming to lsquo;build the fringe and move the fringersquo;.
