We are one church. We love God, love people, love
his mission and love his church. Welcome to the One Church
Podcast. Hello, I'm Chris.
Thank you for tuning into this week's podcast.
Before we move on, Psalm 86, verse five says this.
You, Lord, are forgiving and good.
Abounding in love to all who call to you, so why not if
you're able? If it's appropriate, why not
take a moment and maybe even pause this podcast and allow God
to remind you of His forgiveness, His goodness, and
His abounding love to you? This week's message comes from
Philippa, recorded at one Church Oadby on Sunday the 6th of
August. We pray that you would hear God
speaking to you as you listen. This morning we're continuing
our preaching series on the names of God, and last week we
looked at Jehova nisi, which the Lord is our banner.
This idea of lifting up the name of the Lord over all situations.
We can lift him up when we are weak, we can lift him up when we
are at war, and also when we worship.
The Lord is our banner Jehova nisi.
And today we're looking at a different name.
But I love this morning already from the very beginning at the
welcome to also the worship as well.
It was very much about lifting up the name of God.
It says in Psalm 34. Glorify the Lord let us exalt
his name together. Psalm 138.
For you have exalted above all things your name and your word.
And Philippians too tells us that the name of Jesus is the
name above all names. There is power when we declare.
God's name above all things. And today we're going to be
looking at Jehovah Gyra. The Lord is our provider, but I
just felt yesterday that God just remind me of another one of
his names. I just wanted to share before we
get into today's passage and today's message In Genesis
chapter 16. If you've never read it, we meet
a woman called Hagar. And basically, I might refer to
this a little bit later on, but God made a promise.
To somebody. But instead of trusting God that
he would fulfill his promise, people decided to try and and
sort out the situation by themselves.
And it led to a bit of a mess and it led to a woman called
Hagar getting hurt and running away.
And as she was running away an Angel of the Lord appeared to
her and spoke to her. And this encounter led her to
give God the name Al Roy, which means you are the God who sees
me. And I just really felt just to
remind somebody in the room today that God is the God who
sees you. It can sometimes be easy in a
crowd of people to think no one understands exactly what I'm
going through. Or you can say that, but you
don't know what it means in my life or you don't know what's
happening to me right now. And I just felt God wanted to
remind somebody. Today.
He is Al Roy, the God who sees you.
And you are not hidden from him. You're not lost in a crowd when
it comes to God, but he sees you.
He is the God who sees you. Wonderful.
Well, Jehovah Gyra the Lord is my provider.
Or Jehovah Gyra on the mountain of the Lord.
It will be provided. Does anyone here love mountains?
Anyone love climbing mountains? Anyone.
A successful mountain climber, to be honest.
Not 100% sure I see the attraction.
Maybe I've got something to learn.
So I asked Google. Google.
Why do people climb mountains? It can be the most rewarding
thing some people have ever done.
Apparently it takes us to a place of incredible beauty, and
it challenges us to find untapped reserves of strength
and resources and hope you're ready for the sentence.
It's plain fun. When we think of mountain
climbing in the UK, you know, we don't have any records
necessarily, but I think most people would say that it doesn't
get better than the Three Peaks. And we are going to go on our
own three peak adventure through the Bible as we seek to think
about Jehovah Gyra, the Lord, our provider.
I've got good news. It involves no physical
climbing. We're all right.
We can stay relaxed and chilled. But we are going to look at
three peaks in the Bible and look at Jehovah Gyra.
And so if you want, maybe a catchy away, although slightly
cheesier way of remembering today's messages, Jehovah Gyra,
the three peak Provider. We're going to start on Mountain
#1, the mounts of by attitudes and we're going to see that God
is our daily gyra. This is a mountain famous for a
particular preach. The Sermon on the Mount.
And no one can be 100% sure exactly where this mountain is,
but when Tom and I were first married, we had the joy of
traveling to Israel and we went to the Mount of the Attitudes
where there is a church where they think this sermon was
preached and it's a church was built there to commemorate it.
And it is a beautiful mountain and all around the mountain I
remember it being very luscious. There's lots of greenery and
flowers and trees. And all around the mountainside,
along the path, there's these little plaques that have little
quotes from the Sermon on the Mount.
But Jesus is teaching the crowd. And we're going to look in
Matthew chapter 5, and we're going to see that on this
mountain, on our first peak, Jehovah is our daily gyra, our
daily provider. This is what it says now,
Matthew 5, verse one. Now when Jesus saw the crowds,
he went up on a mountainside and sat down.
His disciples came to him and he began to teach them.
Now, if you've never read the film on the Mount, I'd really
encourage you to find some time to read it.
It's in Matthew chapter 5 and it's basically Jesus sitting
down and teaching people what the Kingdom of God looks like.
It's almost like he's presenting the Kingdom of God Manifesto.
This is what God's way of living should look like.
This is how his. Ordained way of things should
be. He resets moral standards.
He gives instructions on how to live a life that brings glory to
God. There's so much wisdom to be
found and then he gets onto the subject of money.
Here we go, Matthew, chapter 6, verse 25 to 33.
It will come up on the screen. Therefore, I tell you, do not
worry about your life, what you will eat or drink, or about your
body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food and
the body more than clothes? Look at the birds of the air.
They do not sew or reap or store away in barns.
And yet your Heavenly Father feeds them.
Are you not much more valuable than they can anyone of you by
worrying at a single hour to your life?
And why do you worry about clothes?
See how the flowers of the field grow.
They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you that not even
Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these.
If that is how God closed the grass of the field which is here
today, and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much
more clothe you So do not worry, saying, What shall we eat, Or
what shall we drink, Or what shall we wear?
For the pagans run after all these things, and your Heavenly
Father knows that you need them. But seek first his Kingdom and
his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as
well. A few weeks ago in Little Stars,
which is our Under fives group here at one church, we said this
phrase God looks after the birds and the flowers and God looks
after me too. And it's true, we can look
around in creation. We can look at the birds, We can
look at the flowers and know God's promise.
If he cares for them, how much more important are we to him?
He is going to continue to care for us too.
I have a bit of a bad reputation I think when it comes to flowers
and people come up to me and say give me tips of how to look
after flowers, it doesn't work. However, I would like to just
say that our garden at the moment is blooming.
It's flourishing. I even had to cut away.
At some flowers today. Gotta tell you this.
It had nothing to do with me. I didn't do anything.
It's all that miserable weather. That's where it came from.
Thank you. I know that people might not be
enjoying their holidays, but my garden is full of life, so I'm
very grateful. God sent rain to look after my
flowers and now they are flourishing.
But God looks after us. Just like he looks after the
birds. Just like he looks after the
flowers, He looks after us. I've really enjoyed different
conversations this week with people talking about the
blessings of God, and it's been so enjoyable just to listen to
people share how God has provided for them, how God has
always looked after them, how God has abundantly blessed
different people. And the first conversation I had
was about tithing here at one church.
We don't say people have to give.
We don't pressure people, but we give people the opportunity to
discover the blessing of what happens when we give to God
something that matters to us, when we give him our resources.
It's amazing. The journey of tithing How much
more God can do with the 90% than we could ever do ourselves
with the 100%? It's completely counter
cultural. Why would you want to take away
from what you have? But somehow in the economies of
the Kingdom of God he doesn't see it as a subtraction.
Instead, because God is God, our daily Gyra, He multiplies what
we give Him, and His promise is this if we seek first His
Kingdom. And His righteousness, all these
other things will be added to us when we give in to the local
church. We're seeing the Kingdom of God
advance here on earth and as we seek Him first by being generous
to others as we make wise, ethical decisions, As we're not
driven by a desire for more money, but a desire to live
right and to be a blessing to those around us.
All these other things will be added onto us.
It is the promise on the 1st mountain peak.
Seek first my Kingdom, my righteousness, and all these
other things. Your daily needs, what you'll
wear, what you'll eat, that all be added to you as well.
The second conversation I had with someone about blessing.
Was about how God doesn't just give us a little bit, He doesn't
just give us enough, but God answers our prayers.
He gives us exactly what we need.
Later on on the Sermon of the Mount, Jesus continues and says
this in Matthew 7, verse nine. Which of you, if your son asks
for bread, will give him a stone?
Or if he asks for a fish, we'll give him a snake.
If you then that you are evil, know how to give good gifts to
your children, how much more will your Father in Heaven give
good gifts to those who ask him? Our Father, our Gyra, Jehovah,
Jira, the God who provides our daily needs, doesn't just give
us the scraps. He doesn't just give us enough.
To get by, He is the God who gives good gifts to the children
who ask him for them. And I just want to encourage us.
And I was talking with this person about how we can ask God
for things, we can ask him for big things.
And then my encouragement to you is wait and see what God does.
Sometimes we kind of ex say God's knows for him recently at
school and our daughters are moving into a new class next
year. And I really wanted my eldest
daughter to have a specific teacher.
And I was praying that she'd have this specific teacher.
And I wanted to tell her that's who I was praying for.
But something in me thought to myself, oh, no, I want to say to
her, Annabelle, I'm praying that you have this teacher.
But what happens if God doesn't give her that teacher?
And I was hesitant to say to her or this is what I'm praying for
because I didn't want her faith to be, not because I didn't want
her to think that God doesn't answer our prayers.
But I just felt God say to me, why are you saying my no for me?
And why are you denying her the opportunity to see her faith
built? And so I said to her, Annabelle,
I'm praying that you're going to get this teacher.
And she opened up her piece of paper that said what class she
was in and she looked at me and she said, Mum, that's who we
prayed I would get. And I said, I know, isn't that
amazing? And I'm not guaranteeing that
God, it's not like a wish list that we say I wish this would
happen and magically it appears. But I do know this God gives
good gifts to his children, the right gifts.
But I want to encourage us. Let's build our faith with by
being specific, asking God for things, knowing that he doesn't
just provide for our daily needs, but he wants to give good
gifts to the children that ask him.
And I was just reminded of another story when we had our
second child. And we need a double pushchair.
So I said, God, would you, would you give us a double pushchair?
That's what we need. And I was in a staff meeting and
someone said to us, I have a double pushchair.
Would you like it? And I was like, yeah, I would
actually like, that's what we've been praying for.
And so I went home. I just said to myself, God, I
really hope it's a Phil and Ted's pushchair, because that's
what I really would like. I went back to them and they
gave us this pushchair and it was a lovely pushchair, but it
wasn't effluent Ted's pushchair. But anyway, I was like, God,
thank you so much for providing us with this pushchair.
I'm really grateful. I said thank you to the person.
And then on Sunday I happened to be in one of our one church
sites. And at the end of the service I
remember having coffee at the back and someone came up to me
and said we were in that garage the other day and we have a
pushchair, a double pushchair. Are you in need of 1?
And I said, well, to be honest, someone has just given US1.
So thank you, but I think we're OK.
And they said it's a Phil and Ted's pushchair.
Are you interested? And I just love the fact that to
God, I wasn't being greedy, I wasn't being ungrateful.
I was, I was giving him a specific need that I really
wanted because I wanted it for a specific reason.
And God, who hears His children, whose promise is to be our
Jehovah Gyra, our daily provider, He provides for our
knees, but He doesn't just give us the scraps.
He longs to give good gifts to his children, so my
encouragement is to you. Trust that He is your daily
gyre, but also ask Him. Be bold in your asking and trust
that he loves to give good gifts to his children.
This is what I want to say today.
You can stand on the mountain of your daily needs, and as you put
God first, trust that He will care for your needs and not just
the bare minimum. But he loves to give good gifts
to those who ask Him. On peak number one, we see
Jehovah Jira, our daily provider to the next peak.
How can we be confident that God will provide?
How can we be sure of it? How do we trust Him with our
daily needs? Well, it's in His name.
He is Jehovah Jira, the Lord our provider, and we're going to go
to our second mountain to find out when this name was given to
God. It's the only time this name
appears in the whole of the Bible.
On Mount Moriah, on peak #2, we discover that God in the test
and trial is that miraculous provider.
I spoke earlier about a promise that God made to somebody and it
led to mess and Hagar running away.
Well, in Genesis we see that God chooses a people for himself, a
special people set apart, and he makes a promise to a man called
Abraham. That he will have many
descendants and make him into a great nation.
The problem is Abraham has no children.
God promises that he is going to make him into a great nation,
and his descendants will outnumber the grains of sand and
the stars in the sky. But he has no kids.
But God is a faithful God, a God who is faithful to his promises.
And even though temporarily, Abraham tries to make it happen
by himself, which leads to the mess.
Eventually God fulfills his promises.
It says in Genesis 19, God, as he had said, gave Sarah a baby
and say Abraham and Sarah have a son.
His name is Isaac because God is a faithful God who keeps his
promises. And then we join the story in
Genesis chapter 22 where God tests Abraham and we're going to
read it together and bring some thoughts out from this passage
about Jehovah Gyra and Miraculous Provider.
We're in Genesis chapter 22. Sometime later, God tested
Abraham. He said to him.
Abraham, here I am, he replied. And then God said, take your
son, your only son, whom you love, Isaac, and go to the
region of Mariah. Sacrifice him there as a burn
offering on a mountain. I will show you it's quite a big
request from God. He doesn't say what Abraham's
initial response was. I don't know.
All it says is this. His first response that is
recorded was one of obedience. It says this early the next
morning, Abraham got up and loaded his donkey.
I listened to someone speak about this and they said perhaps
he got up early so that Sarah didn't know what he was doing.
He's like, right, come on Isaac, quickly, let's get out of this
before your mother has something to say about this.
But his first recorded response was obedience.
Early the next morning, Abraham got up and loaded his donkey.
He took with him two of his servants and his son Isaac.
When he had cut enough wood for the burnt offering, he set out
for the place God had told him about.
On the third day. Abraham looked up and saw the
place in the distance. He said to his servants, stay
here with the donkey while I and the boy go over there.
We will worship and then we will come back to you.
Interesting that the order of things in this story mirrors
what Jesus says, that as we seek him first, then all these things
will be added unto him. In this story we see Abraham has
to obey first before he sees God provide miraculously, he has to
decide to obey. Sometimes when we're in the test
and trial, God asks us to do certain things and we can
question. We can say, Are you sure, God,
why? I can't do that.
You're asking too much of me. My encouragement here is at the
end of the story on the mountaintop.
We're going to see the miraculous provision, but
sometimes it takes us to step out and to be obedient to what
God is asking for us. Abraham's first response was
obedience. Secondly, Abraham had full
confidence in the promise keeping God.
He says this. Stay here.
We will worship, and then we will come back to you.
He had full confidence that him and his son would return.
It doesn't say I will come back to you.
It says we will come back to you.
And the reason why Abraham has full confidence in God in this
test and trial is he remembers that God is a faithful God.
He is a God who promised that he would have a son through whom he
would have many descendants and would make into a great nation.
And God fulfilled his promise. Abraham was 100 when God gave
him Isaac. It was 14 years after Abraham
tried to fulfill the promise his own way with Hagar and her son
Ishmael. And God is faithful to his
promise, and Abraham knew that he had to wait.
But eventually, as he had said, Sarah gave birth to a son.
He had full confidence in the promise keeping God, it says in
Hebrews 11. It kind of explains a little bit
of what Abraham maybe was going through by faith.
Abraham, when God tested him, offered Isaac as a sacrifice.
He who would embrace the promises was about to sacrifice
his one and only son, even though God had said to him it is
through Isaac that your offspring will be reckoned.
Abraham reasoned that God could even raise the dead and so in a
manner of speaking, he did receive Isaac back from death.
I imagine what was going through Abraham's mind was this God.
You have said this. I trust that you are a God who
keeps your promises. So perhaps as I sacrifice Isaac,
maybe you're raising from the dead.
Maybe that's how you'll sort it out.
But I trust that you are going to make things OK.
I trust that you are going to fulfill your promises.
In the test and trial, Abraham was obedient.
In the test and trial Abraham had confidence we will return
because he knew that his God was a faithful promise keeping God.
Abraham continues and when the situation looked grim, Abraham
continued to trust that God would provide for God would see
to it. Verse 6.
Abraham took the wood for the burnt offering and placed on his
son Isaac and he himself carried the fire and the knife.
As the two of them went on together, Isaac spoke up and
said to his father. Father.
Yes, my son, Abraham replied. The fire and wood are here,
Isaac said. But where is the lamb for the
burn offering? Abraham answered.
God himself will provide the lamb for the burn offering, my
son. And so the two of them went on
together. I can't imagine what it would
have been like for Isaac when things just, oh, how?
Put on a minute. I see what's happening here.
Dad.
What's what's gonna happen here? What is happening?
And Abraham's response is don't worry, son.
God will provide it. Sometimes because we read the
Bible in the language that it was not originally written, some
of our words don't always do justice to what God is intending
to say through His word. This word provide, it doesn't
give the full weight of what of what the Bible is trying to say
here. It actually it's not just God
will provide, as in God will give some say it is God will see
to it. I wonder, have you ever had a
problem and you've gone to somebody and they don't tell you
exactly how they're going to fix it.
They say don't worry, I'll see to it.
And some people, when they say that because you trust in them,
you know, actually I can leave that now.
I don't have to worry about it because they're on the job.
They'll see to it. It's like that with God will
provide. It's not just Jehovah Gyra God
will give us, it's Jehovah Gyra. God will see to it.
He'll sort that out. Abraham when things were looking
grim and when Isaac realized, hold on, what's going on here,
Abraham said this. Don't worry.
God will see to it. He's got this sorted.
Perhaps you're in the middle of your child and you need to be
reminded today. It's all right.
God says to you, I'll see to that.
I'll sort it out. And then Abraham gets to the top
of the mountain, and that's where he experiences miraculous
provision. When they reached the place God
had told him about, Abraham built an altar there and
arranged the wood on it. He bound his son Isaac and laid
him on the altar on top of the wood.
And then he reached out his hand and took the knife to slay his
son. But the Angel of the Lord called
out to him from heaven. Abraham.
Here I am, he replied.
I picture this. I wouldn't when I think about
this story was like Abraham. Like how close do I have to get
to Isaac's body before you're going to intervene?
God, like surely this is time God.
Maybe he was hoping that on the way up, before he bound his
body, maybe God would intervene. But still it feels like God
waits until the last minute. But he does come through,
because he is a faithful promise keeping God.
Do not lay a hand on the boy, he said.
Do not do anything to him. Now I know that you fear God,
because you've not withheld me from your son.
Your only son. And Abraham looked up, and there
in a thicket he saw a ram caught by its horns.
He went over, took the ram, sacrificed it as a burnt
offering instead of his son. The miraculous Jehovah Jira
promised keeping. God came through.
He saw to it, and a ram in the thicket came to the rescue.
And then it says this. Abraham called that place
Jehovah Gyra. The Lord will provide, and to
this day it is said on the mountain of the Lord it will be
provided. I read this quote this week and
I just wanted to read it. As it says it here Abraham names
the place after God's miraculous provision, not after his trial.
Abraham christened the anonymous mountaintop, not by a name that
reminded him or others of his trial, but by a name that
proclaimed God's deliverance, Jehovah Gyra.
He did not say anything about his agony or about his
obedience. Let us name the heights that lie
behind us, visible to memory by names that commemorate not the
troubles that we had on them, but the deliverances that on
them we received from God. Abraham was tested.
He went through a trial, but he trusted that God would see to
it. He trusted in his faithful
promise, keeping God. And sure enough, he stood on the
mountain and experienced miraculous provision.
And I love that. Then he chose to rename that
place. Not the place of.
Oh, God, you really had me going on that one.
I didn't know if you'd come through to me.
Not the place of well, God. I trusted you because I always
trust you. He chose to name the place.
This is the mountain of the Lord.
On the mountain of the Lord. It will be provided.
Jehovah Gyra, some thoughts for us today.
Are you being tested? Are you in the middle of a
trial? Well, let obedience be your
response. Have confidence that the
faithful Promise keeper will see to it.
And when you experience your miraculous provision, when you
see your ram in the thicket, maybe it's time to rename your
mountain. Not out of trial, not out of
agony. Don't call it all that you've
lost. Don't call it all that you've
gone through. Instead, call it Jehovah Gyra.
On the mountain of the Lord, it will be provided Jehovah.
He's our daily provider, our daily Gyra.
We see it in the birds, we see it in the flowers.
And we also hear His promise. I love to give good gifts to my
children who ask for them. We see Jehovah Gyra, our
miraculous provider. Abraham saw a miracle in his
test and trial, and we can also see miracles when we're tested.
When we find ourselves in a trial, we can have confidence
that as we obey the faithful promise keeping God, He will
provide for us. Jehovah Gyra, on the mountain of
the Lord, it will be provided. And now we arrive at Mountain
#3. God's miraculous provision of a
ram in a thicket that saved Abraham's only son was just a
foretaste of the lamb on the hill of Calvary, when God's only
son was sacrificed as the miraculous provision for all
people on mountain #2. On peak two we see that the ram
saved one boy. On Mountain peak #3 we see a
lamb who would go on to save the whole world.
John One verse 29, John the Baptist sees Jesus and he says
this. The next day John saw Jesus
coming toward him and said, look, the Lamb of God who takes
away the sin of the world, and three years later on Mountain
Peak #3, the hill of Calvary, or some know it as Golgotha in the
Bible, the Lamb of God, whom John the Baptist spoke about,
who preached on Mountain Peak number one about Jehovah, our
daily Gyra found himself on Mountain Peak #3, and it says
this in John 19, carrying his own cross, he went out to the
place of the school, which an Aramaic is called Golgotha.
There they crucified Him, and with two others, one on each
side, and Jesus in the middle. And to explain what happened on
Mountain Peak #3, we can look in Romans 5.
Therefore, since we have been justified 3 faiths, we have
peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we
have gained access by faith into His grace in which we now stand.
You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless,
Christ died on hill #3 for the ungodly.
Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous person, though for a
good person someone might possibly dare to die.
But God demonstrates his own love for us in this While we
were still sinners, Christ died for us, and through Him we have
now received reconciliation. When we think about Jehovah
gyra, our provider is sometimes easy for us to to think about
our daily needs. And it is so true.
We need a daily gyra. We need a daily provider, and
he's there for us. Then sometimes trials and tests
come along. And in those moments, we also
need to know that he is a miraculous gyra.
He provides for us when we don't see an option or a way out.
He comes through because he is a faithful God.
He is a God who keeps his promises in the test and trial.
He is our miraculous provider. But that's just a foretaste,
that story of what he did as being the ultimate gyra, our
eternity Gyra. That's the biggest need.
We have our biggest need. It's not about what we wear.
It's not about what we eat. It's not even about when things
seem very big in our heads and they are big when we face tests
and trials. Actually, Jehovah Gyra is more
than that. Jehovah Gyra paid the ultimate
price for us on the hill of Calvary and we can know today.
We can rejoice and say thank you.
He has met the biggest need I have.
He has paid the price for assins.
He died the death that we should have died.
He paid the price that we couldn't pay.
And now, because of what he has done, we have eternal life.
God's soul of the world, that on peak #3, on the hill of Calvary,
He gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him
will not perish but have eternal life.
I am grateful. I am grateful for my Jehovah
Gyra, my eternity provider. Shall we pray together?
And you might want to bow your heads.
If it helps you just focus on the 33 mountain peaks that we're
going to declare Jehovah Gyras today.
First of all, we're going to go backwards Peak #3, the hill of
Calvary where salvation took place.
Perhaps today in this atmosphere, you just want to say
thank you to God that He provided for your biggest need.
He made you right with Him. And perhaps you find yourself
here today and you haven't actually yet confessed your
belief in Jesus. You haven't actually said out
loud I believe that God sent Jesus to die for me in my place
so that I could have eternal life.
Well, maybe you want to pray this prayer after me now.
And and maybe even if you've prayed it before, maybe you just
want to pray this prayer, the salvation prayer, thanking God
for what he did on the cross. Maybe you want to say this in
your heart after me. Lord Jesus, thank you that you
know me, and thank you that you love me.
I am sorry for my cinema stakes. Today.
I choose to accept the gift of life that you paid for on the
cross and to follow you as my Lord and Savior.
Help me to live a life that brings you glory in your name.
Amen. On the 2nd mountain peak, maybe
you are going through a significant test and trial.
Remember God's promise at the beginning.
I am the one who sees you. I might not understand what
you're going through, but there is a God in heaven who sees you.
Maybe you need to stand on that mountaintop today and say,
Jehovah, You are my gyro. You are my miraculous provider.
I'm going to obey you. I'm going to trust that you are
a faithful God, that you keep your promises, and I believe
that I will see your miraculous provision.
Or perhaps you've just come through a trial and and maybe
you've been wounded by it. You've been very hurt.
You've experienced loss. Whatever's happened to you and
you're remembering the agony and actually God would just love to
remind you today I've seen to that.
You can name that test. You can name that trial Jehovah
Gyra on the mountain of the Lord.
It will be provided. And finally, maybe today, you
want to stand on Mountain Peak number one and just say God
thank you, that you are my daily provider, my daily Gyra.
I've been consumed by worry. I've been worried how I'm going
to make ends meet. And God wants to come and fill
you with His peace and remind you He is your Jehovah Gyra,
your daily provider. And he doesn't just give you
enough. He loves to give good gifts to
those who ask him. Thank you, Philippa, for that
message. What an incredible God we have.
And if you would like to respond in any way, especially if you
prayed the prayer to invite Jesus into your life for the
first time, then we would love to hear from you.
Give us a call or send us an e-mail today.
There are many things happening in the life of 1 church.
Here is this week's family news for 1234.
Firstly, there is currently a team of 11 young adults in
Tanzania. They have already seen God do
some incredible things, including casting out demons.
And praying for rain. Please continue to pray for them
this week that they would have even more stories and that they
would come back full of faith and a passion to see God move
here in the UK. Secondly, it's now less than
five weeks until opening weekend for the renovated One Center.
Join us on the 9th and 10th of September to celebrate God's
incredible goodness and faithfulness to us in this
season. And why not bring someone with
you? Thirdly, on Sunday the 27th of
August. We have our next encounter
night, 7:00 PM at 12 Frog Island.
Last month was such a powerful time and we're believing for
more of the same this month. Anyone is welcome to come and
join us. And finally, if you would like
the opportunity to bring to life some of the places we read about
in the Bible, some of the places where Jesus himself walked
whilst he was here on this earth, then we have a trip to
Israel in March 2024. We get in touch today to find
out more details and to register your interest.
And that is your family news for.
The Lord bless you and keep you. The Lord make his face shine
upon you, and be gracious to you.
The Lord turn his face towards you and give you peace.
