Sharing God's Love Growing Faith Worshipping Together

Thought for the week:
​​
"Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit... was led by the Spirit" Lk 4:1.
Luke 4 highlights the role of the Holy Spirit in Jesus’ life and ministry.
The Holy Spirit led Jesus into the desert to be tempted. Following this, Jesus began His ministry in the power of the Spirit, and the Spirit of the Lord was on Him to preach the Good News and ‘proclaim the year of the Lord's favour’.
All that Jesus did was infused with the dynamic of God's Spirit.
But there is something else to note. We realise that the Holy Spirit enables us to serve the Lord, but we seldom think of Him leading us into trying times. When life brings difficulties, challenges, and perhaps temptations let's not doubt the Holy Spirit's leading or His power to make us
victorious.
Where God leads us, He does not abandon us, but walks with us (Psalm 23:4). MM
Collect
​
Heavenly Father,
your Son battled with the powers of darkness,
and grew closer to you in the desert:
help us to use these days to grow in wisdom and prayer
that we may witness to your saving love
in Jesus Christ our Lord.
