Phil 4 goes further, telling us to present our petition with thanksgiving, and not be anxious. Our prayer should involve our body, soul and mind. Supplication shares a common root with "supple" - bending down, bended knee ... but also implies a petition from a lesser being to a more elevated being and in supplication we are petitioning and pleading with the God of all the Universe.

What can we use to help us focus on prayer, or to give our prayer time structure? Silence, an icon, a tree, a rainbow, a sunset - any beautiful painting or photograph - any beautiful work of creation ... these are some of the things that may a stimulus to prayer. Anything that provokes a response can lead to adoration or worship or intercession.

But he goes on to write "Blessed be Your name on the road marked with suffering ...". Reading Job, you may think that he was morbid - but he was a really positive man who know how to rejoice and bless the name of the Lord in all circumstances. Nothing is so high or so low that we can't find a place for thanksgiving.

More importantly, what would Pathway look like if we were really serious about prayer? Prayer should be exciting - when we find that we are knocking on heaven's door, and the gates are swung open and we are ushered into the throne room of God! But many times our corporate prayer is not like that. There are so many types of prayer, so many different ways that we can express prayer as a group and as individuals - prayer should never be boring. Hard work, maybe, but never boring and commonplace. Pathway is on a journey, and over the next few weeks we will be looking at different aspects of prayer - what the Bible has to say, and what our personal experiences are. It should be an exciting ride.

Using that research and the research of others to inform his vision for Chilwell, Alan presents several models of church and poses questions about the shape of Chilwell as a parish. We could be seen as an affilliated group of pastoral-based congregations - or (and here is a challenge) we could be seen as a church of 400 in a parish of 14000. What are we good at? What are our strengths? How can we share those with other churches? How can we become a resourcing parish?

It is important to hold everybody who is part of our church in the highest regard - including the leader. Not because the leader is any "better" - in fact if anyone thinks that they are qualified to lead a church is probably not suitable! What we are qualified for is to be a disciple, a learner - being actively engaged at becoming more like Jesus. What do we need to learn as a church? be patient with everyone encourage the timid help the weak Mosaic (in Thame) and Pure are about training, enabling, and releasing young people to leadership - and this applies to the church in general: this means that we have to allow less experienced people to fail, to fall over, but support them and help them get up again and move on. A mark of discipleship is that we don't pay back wrong for wrong - we do not deal in revenge. Paul encourages us to pray continually and be joyful always - what do we have to be thankful for? You don't need to go to the Phillipines to realise how much we have going for us in this country. discipleship,,podcast Pathway Chilwell no No http://www.pathwaychilwell.org.uk/2006/discipleship2 http://www.pathwaychilwell.org.uk/2006/discipleship2#comments Sun, 18 Jun 2006 09:30:12 +0000 Peter Wyatt http://www.pathwaychilwell.org.uk/index.php/2006/06/discipleship2/ http://www.pathwaychilwell.org.uk/2006/discipleship2/feed 0 25:37 In 1 Thess 4:1-12, the apostle Paul tells us how to live for God ... and the word "live" here means something like "walking together".

There should be a certain restlessness in our walk with God - wanting to get to the next step. "Philadelphia" - not the dairy product - means brotherly love, a genuine affection for each other - something that we express as a community. So what does this mean? We need to have a relationship with one another - we need to be accountable to each other. discipleship,,podcast Pathway Chilwell no No http://www.pathwaychilwell.org.uk/2006/discipleship1 http://www.pathwaychilwell.org.uk/2006/discipleship1#comments Sun, 11 Jun 2006 09:30:54 +0000 Nigel Adams http://www.pathwaychilwell.org.uk/index.php/2006/06/speakers/ http://www.pathwaychilwell.org.uk/2006/discipleship1/feed 0 21:16 "I believe that God has given me a word for you - and that word is ...

At times you may feel young - other times you may feel old, but should your feelings, circumstances, or even your age, determine how old you are? And what about the wider church? Isaiah 40 is a turning point in the book. Between chapter 39 and 40 is a 200 year gap. The people had got used to being an oppressed and scattered people - but Isaiah 40:1 starts "Comfort, comfort my people" - God is on the move. Life is tiring, trying to fit church life into family life and work life is really hard work, although this is probably not how God intended it. What we can do is hope in the Lord - and we will renew our strength, and soar on wings like eagles.
