2010-03-11T12:34:46Z Dr Thomas Renz of Oakhill College speaks with Brent Siddall about the book that in Hebrew is known as 'The Book of Praises'. The Psalms of Ascent are the collection of 15 Psalms that were sung by God's people on their journey 'up to Jerusalem' to attend the Festivals, or by the priests as they ascended the Temple steps to begin the daily ministry. Today Dr Renz explores the background and message of a few of these songs. This is the last programme in this series. <br><br><strong><a href="http://www.twr.org.uk/ondemand.htm">Original Article</a><br><br> 2010-03-10T09:07:35Z 1795 31

It was great to be with people who share the same beliefs and catch up with old friends!</p> <p>The day started with sermons and the main message was that Jesus paid the ultimate price for us by dying on the cross and how we need to finish that race. I realised there is a world to change and we are the kingdom generation who need to grasp this vision to make things happen. We then listened to a marvellous miracle from a woman who was blind but can now see! It was amazing to listen to the great things that God does.</p> <p>The Holy Spirit was definitely present amongst us during worship. Healing and praying took place and it was great to see a youth pray for another youth. The fact we were there to encourage each other really shows how united we are in Christ.</p> <p><a href="http://www.makingjesusfamous.org/inside/2010/03/national-youth-day-report/n7/" rel="attachment wp-att-3634"><img src="http://www.makingjesusfamous.org/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/n7-300x200.jpg" alt="n7" title="n7" width="290" height="200" class="alignright size-medium wp-image-3634" /></a>There were also seminars on media, entertainment, fashion, law and medicine &#8211; just to mention a few. It was an eye-opener to see how God&#8217;s people can be used in different aspects of society. It never occurred to me that God can use us in everything we do, even our jobs!</p> <p>Perhaps the most touching and eye-opening aspect of the day was hearing about God&#8217;s healing and that all things are possible through Christ who strengthens us. It taught me to acknowledge how blessed I am to have an amazing life with God and that He is always there for me, which means I needn’t worry. </p> <p>Although it was sad that the day was ending, I look forward to other days living my life for God to the full. The day ended on a high with our mighty pizza feast. This was definitely a memorable day for me, and I’m sure it was the same for all the youths there.</p> <p style="text-align:right;"><strong>Eno Andah</strong></p> <br><br><strong><a href="http://www.makingjesusfamous.org/inside/2010/03/national-youth-day-report/">Original Article</a><br><br> 2010-03-09T13:07:56Z 1802 58

2010-03-05T16:35:02Z Each generation of Christians has to wrestle with major theological issues. Today, Church membership is not one of them, and this is a real danger, according to Jonathan Leeman, author of recent release 'The Church and the Surprising Offence of God's Love - Reintroducing the Doctrines of Church Membership and Discipline'. Jonathan Leeman speaks to Tom Ward about the dangers he identifies in his book, and to Rev Dr David Instone-Brewer (Senior Research Fellow in Rabbinics and New Testament at Tyndale House, Cambridge) to gain his perspective. <br><br><strong><a href="http://www.twr.org.uk/ondemand.htm">Original Article</a><br><br> 2010-03-05T08:00:25Z 1771 31

2010-03-05T08:34:12Z Less than 1% of the profit from tea goes to the tea-farmers - that is, unless you buy Fairtrade tea. There were more people trafficked across the world in this year than there were in the whole period of time when William Wilberforce was campaigning against slavery... and you may be buying food that feeds that industry - unless of course you buy 'traffik-free' products. Phil Walker talks to representatives from both these organisations to find out how to find out the difference we could each make.

I was in awe at how much effort they had gone to orchestrate it, and even more when I found out they had planned it for weeks. I thought to myself, “Why would anyone think about me?”</p> <p>A couple of Sundays before, Dave Emmett preached about eating at God’s table and knowing our true identity as sons and daughters of the king. He told the story of King David in 2 Samuel 9, who invited crippled Mephibosheth to eat regularly at his table as though he was the King’s own son.</p> <p>From then on, the Holy Spirit reminded me that I was worth more than I thought. I repented of my small thinking and low opinions of myself, as though I was of so little value to my friends that they should plan anything for my birthday.</p> <p>For a long time, false humility robbed me of my true identity. But Dave’s message and the surprise birthday really changed me. That night, I felt honoured and recognised. I was certainly worth all their time and effort in planning the birthday-do.</p> <p>This is the same honour God has given to us. We are to know our self-worth and our God-given rights as the King’s sons and daughters, the right to sit next to him and dine with him. We as individuals are highly favoured and loved by the King himself. We can now live a life of freedom and integrity because Jesus took our shame and in exchange gave us his honour when he died for us.</p> <p>Listen again to Dave&#8217;s preach <a href=" http://www.makingjesusfamous.org/video_and_audio?fn=Sunday">here</a>.</p> <p style="text-align: right;"><strong>Wan-Phing</strong></p> <br><br><strong><a href="http://www.makingjesusfamous.org/inside/2010/03/at-the-kings-table/">Original Article</a><br><br> 2010-03-04T00:09:00Z 1696 58

2010-03-04T05:34:17Z Dr Thomas Renz of Oakhill College speaks with Brent Siddall about the book that in Hebrew is known as 'The Book of Praises'. Two Psalms are studied in today's programme: Psalm 30 comes straight from the heart of a person of prayer. It is the prayer of one who is fully aware of the nightmare of death offering profound thanksgiving to God for His mercies. Psalm 34 is a 'wisdom psalm', full of praise to the God Who ransoms, releases, rescues and protects. <br><br><strong><a href="http://www.twr.org.uk/ondemand.htm">Original Article</a><br><br> 2010-03-03T08:18:07Z 1672 31

2010-03-04T05:34:13Z We believe that Jesus died and rose again, and so we believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in him… For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever.

2010-03-04T05:34:07Z <p>The resurrection of Jesus is the basis of the Christian faith.

This is a chance for the families of those children who attend Kids Club to experience the love of Jesus and to build relationship with those who are part of the church.</p> <p><strong>When is Kids Club?</strong></p> <p>It will be on alternate Saturday mornings from 10.30-11.30am starting on 17th April.</p> <p><strong>Get involved!</strong></p> <p>Here is a wonderful opportunity to both serve the children in the church and to reach out to our local community! I&#8217;m sure you&#8217;re desperate to know how you can get involved! We need people to help serve with the children, drive the buses, help with home visits, set up and pack down, serve in the cafe and help with administration.

Today, Ian Marron speaks to Mark Bradford (Righteous Pop Music) and Ron Perry (Happy Days Productions) about their ministry.<br><br><strong><a href="http://www.twr.org.uk/ondemand.htm">Original Article</a><br><br> 2010-02-25T07:59:11Z 1676 31

2010-03-04T05:34:16Z In this series of essays, Helen Parry explores some basic principles for understanding the Bible. The essays are posted monthly on the LICC website, normally on the third Monday of the month.

Here are a few extracts from his diary during his first few months on the job.</strong></p> <p>There is a lad in our Hindley discipleship group called Evan*. He used to argue with the officers and get into fights daily (and had the ability to win most of them as well). He just had a lack of respect for everyone and h<img class="alignright size-full wp-image-3048" style="margin: 10px;" title="reflex logo" src="http://www.message.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/reflex-logo.bmp" alt="reflex logo" width="217" height="52" />imself. He recently became a Christian and the change in his attitude is astonishing. He now has a servant hearted attitude, helping out even before asked. Even the officers are shocked at the change. I asked him why, and he replied, <em>‘That’s what happens when you put your life in God’s hands’.</em></p> <p><em>&#8212;&#8211;<br /> </em></p> <p>One lad we first met in Forest Bank in September called Lee had a very hard exterior to begin with. He really didn’t want to open up, and kept himself to himself. However, after completing the music course, Lee asked to start our Uncut course, introducing the Christian faith. It was clear that he was really searching, but at the same time not wanting to be too vulnerable. A couple of weeks into the course we found out that Lee was in for a crime that had a lot of media attention. Because of this tragedy, Lee was understandably holding a huge amount of guilt, but praise God that Lee became a Christian at the end of the Uncut course, and is now part of a Discipleship course every Thursday.</p> <p><em>&#8212;&#8211;</em></p> <p>I was leading a Bible study in Hindley last Tuesday, going through Mark with eight lads aged between 16 and 18. Five of these guys had become Christians recently and are really growing and maturing. Three other guys had completed the Alpha course but not become Christians, but at the end of the session were really interested.</p> <p>One of the three – Darren – was asking questions and said that he wanted to become a Christian but t<img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-3110" style="margin: 10px;" title="_MG_0990_TWEAKED" src="http://www.message.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/MG_0990_TWEAKED-300x200.jpg" alt="_MG_0990_TWEAKED" width="300" height="200" />hat he didn’t want to lose his youth. Basically, he wanted to be able to go out, get drunk and sleep around. Without the team saying a word, the inmates who were already Christians started to explain how Jesus had changed them. One told about how since becoming a Christian, he didn’t want to get drunk, take drugs or sleep around. After he’s hearing this, Darren gave his life to Christ along with another guy. At the end of the session the whole group were really excited about being ‘brothers’ in Christ!</p> <p><em>&#8212;&#8211;</em></p> <p>One of the managers from Styal came for a meeting, asking us to expand the work we do, thanks to the success we’ve seen over the last six months. On the wing that we work on regularly, there used to be an incident of some sort every week – either a riot, a fight, self-harming, or attempted suicide. But since <a href="http://www.message.org.uk/reflex/"><strong>Reflex</strong> </a>started running sessions, there have been no incidents for six months!

2010-03-04T05:34:13Z Dr Thomas Renz of Oakhill College speaks with Brent Siddall about the book that in Hebrew is known as ‘The Book of Praises’. The 23rd Psalm has become one of the best known and most pigeon-holed Psalms in the book! It speaks of spiritual growth, backsliding and the dangers of ignoring God’s shepherding. The author was talking far more about spiritual life than about physical death!<br><br><strong><a href="http://www.twr.org.uk/ondemand.htm">Original Article</a><br><br> 2010-02-24T08:11:01Z 1677 31

It was great to see so many members of the church community giving up their time and energy to make the event something special. The red carpet was rolled out in the foyer, the tables were festooned with balloons and laid out as if for a wedding party. Our guests were certainly in for a treat. Some of them were eagerly waiting outside in the cold long before the doors were opened at 6:30pm.</p> <p>The catering team had laid on an excellent meal and there was no shortage of willing helpers both for serving food and cleaning up behind the scenes. The desserts in particular were a culinary delight, sweet and loaded with calories, just the way I like them.</p> <p><a href="http://www.makingjesusfamous.org/inside/2010/02/mens-vip-night-report/vip4/" rel="attachment wp-att-3467"><img src="http://www.makingjesusfamous.org/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/vip4-300x199.jpg" alt="vip4" title="vip4" width="260" height="169" class="alignright size-medium wp-image-3467" /></a>The background music and singing provided by members of the worship team was low key and jazzy and gave a real cabaret feel to the event. </p> <p>A moving testimony was given by Malcolm, now a member of King&#8217;s Church, who was himself a guest on a VIP night last year. He gave a humble account of how his encounter with Jesus had turned his life around. Then he wholeheartedly encouraged the listeners to make that same step of faith for themselves.</p> <p>After the meal was served our guests were given the opportunity to make a few additions to their wardrobe. There was a great selection of clothing and shoes generously provided by members of the church and the King&#8217;s Church Barber Shop trio were in action for the rest of the evening providing the final trimmings.</p> <p>All in all it was a fantastic evening and a wonderful opportunity to share the love of God in a real and practical way to some of the less advantaged members of our community.</p> <p style="text-align:right;"><strong>Robert Herbert</strong></p> <br><br><strong><a href="http://www.makingjesusfamous.org/inside/2010/02/mens-vip-night-report/">Original Article</a><br><br> 2010-02-24T01:09:17Z 1699 58

2010-03-04T05:34:18Z How can Christians speak to today's youth about the bible in meaningful ways? There are a lot of different opinions and, on today's programme, James Fullard talks to two people using youth culture itself to break down the barriers. James' guests are Siku, a 'fantasy concept artist' who worked on producing the Manga Bible, and 'Wisdom', a Christian Hip-Hop performer from the band Green Jade, who use music and multi-media performances to speak to those involved in knife and gun violence.<br><br><strong><a href="http://www.twr.org.uk/ondemand.htm">Original Article</a><br><br> 2010-02-23T13:54:36Z 1678 31

2010-03-04T05:34:59Z <p><img class="left_image" src="http://c3stockport.net/images/stories/eggs.jpg" border="0" alt="Easter eggs" />Shrove Tuesday (Pancake day!) marked the beginning of Lent, traditionally a time of reflection in the run-up to the celebrations of Easter. C3 have some great things planned for this special time of year. If Jesus was here with us today, where would he hang out? what would he think of our lives, our churches and our government. He had some pretty strong things to say about the religious and political leaders of his own day, what would he think of ours? So this lent, we're asking ... where would Jesus be?</p><h3>Sunday 21st February, 10:30am<br /></h3> <p>In the wilderness?Where would Jesus to find solitude? Would he be able to leave his blackberry behind?</p><h3>Sunday 28th February, 10:30am</h3> <p>In the pub? Jesus was accused of being a 'glutton and a drunkard' so he obviously enjoyed good meal out with friends. Would we find him in a gastropub, a social club or at the chippy?</p><h3>Sunday 7th March, 10:30am </h3> <p>Saving the world? Would Jesus be a greenpeace campaigner or a politician? Would he be running for office or running for sport relief?</p><h3>Sunday 14th March, 10:30am </h3> <p>In church? Would we find Jesus hanging out at Westminster Abbey, or in a universtiy theology department or selling cakes at the church fete?</p><h3>Sunday 21st March, 10:30am<br /></h3> <p>At home? Would Jesus be climbing the housing ladder, or living in a hostel?</p><p><!--[if !mso]> <style> v\:* {behavior:url(#default#VML);} o\:* {behavior:url(#default#VML);} b\:* {behavior:url(#default#VML);} .shape {behavior:url(#default#VML);} </style> <![endif]--><!--[if pub]><xml> <b:Publication type="OplPub" oty="68" oh="256"> <b:OhPrintBlock priv="30E">281</b:OhPrintBlock> <b:NuDefaultUnits priv="1004">1</b:NuDefaultUnits> <b:DptlPageDimensions type="OplPt" priv="1211"> <b:Xl priv="104">7560000</b:Xl> <b:Yl priv="204">10692000</b:Yl> </b:DptlPageDimensions> <b:DxlDefaultTab priv="1504">359410</b:DxlDefaultTab> <b:OhGallery priv="180E">259</b:OhGallery> <b:OhFancyBorders priv="190E">261</b:OhFancyBorders> <b:OhCaptions priv="1A0E">257</b:OhCaptions> <b:OhQuillDoc priv="200E">276</b:OhQuillDoc> <b:OhMailMergeData priv="210E">262</b:OhMailMergeData> <b:OhColorScheme priv="220E">279</b:OhColorScheme> <b:DwNextUniqueOid priv="2304">1</b:DwNextUniqueOid> <b:IdentGUID priv="2A07">0``````````````````````</b:IdentGUID> <b:DpgSpecial priv="2C03">5</b:DpgSpecial> <b:CTimesEdited priv="3C04">1</b:CTimesEdited> <b:NuDefaultUnitsEx priv="4104">1</b:NuDefaultUnitsEx> <b:OhImpositionEngine priv="440E">285</b:OhImpositionEngine> </b:Publication> <b:PrinterInfo type="OplPrb" oty="75" oh="281"> <b:OhColorSepBlock priv="30E">282</b:OhColorSepBlock> <b:OpmOutsidePrintMode priv="B04">1</b:OpmOutsidePrintMode> <b:FInitComplete priv="1400">False</b:FInitComplete> <b:DpiX priv="2203">0</b:DpiX> <b:DpiY priv="2303">0</b:DpiY> <b:DxlOverlap priv="2404">0</b:DxlOverlap> <b:DylOverlap priv="2504">0</b:DylOverlap> </b:PrinterInfo> <b:ColorSeperationInfo type="OplCsb" oty="79" oh="282"> <b:Plates type="OplCsp" priv="214"> <b:OplCsp type="OplCsp" priv="11"> <b:EcpPlate type="OplEcp" priv="213"> <b:Color priv="104">-1</b:Color> </b:EcpPlate> </b:OplCsp> </b:Plates> <b:DzlOverprintMost priv="304">304800</b:DzlOverprintMost> <b:CprOverprintMin priv="404">243</b:CprOverprintMin> <b:FKeepawayTrap priv="700">True</b:FKeepawayTrap> <b:CprTrapMin1 priv="904">128</b:CprTrapMin1> <b:CprTrapMin2 priv="A04">77</b:CprTrapMin2> <b:CprKeepawayMin priv="B04">255</b:CprKeepawayMin> <b:DzlTrap priv="C04">3175</b:DzlTrap> <b:DzlIndTrap priv="D04">3175</b:DzlIndTrap> <b:PctCenterline priv="E04">70</b:PctCenterline> <b:FMarksRegistration priv="F00">True</b:FMarksRegistration> <b:FMarksJob priv="1000">True</b:FMarksJob> <b:FMarksDensity priv="1100">True</b:FMarksDensity> <b:FMarksColor priv="1200">True</b:FMarksColor> <b:FLineScreenDefault priv="1300">True</b:FLineScreenDefault> </b:ColorSeperationInfo> <b:TextDocProperties type="OplDocq" oty="91" oh="276"> <b:OhPlcqsb priv="20E">278</b:OhPlcqsb> <b:EcpSplitMenu type="OplEcp" priv="A13"> <b:Color>134217728</b:Color> </b:EcpSplitMenu> </b:TextDocProperties> <b:StoryBlock type="OplPlcQsb" oty="101" oh="278"> <b:IqsbMax priv="104">1</b:IqsbMax> <b:Rgqsb type="OplQsb" priv="214"> <b:OplQsb type="OplQsb" priv="11"> <b:Qsid priv="104">1</b:Qsid> <b:TomfCopyfitBase priv="80B">-9999996.000000</b:TomfCopyfitBase> <b:TomfCopyfitBase2 priv="90B">-9999996.000000</b:TomfCopyfitBase2> </b:OplQsb> </b:Rgqsb> </b:StoryBlock> <b:ColorScheme type="OplSccm" oty="92" oh="279"> <b:Cecp priv="104">8</b:Cecp> <b:Rgecp type="OplEcp" priv="214"> <b:OplEcp priv="F">Empty</b:OplEcp> <b:OplEcp type="OplEcp" priv="111"> <b:Color>1461247</b:Color> </b:OplEcp> <b:OplEcp type="OplEcp" priv="211"> <b:Color>12058624</b:Color> </b:OplEcp> <b:OplEcp type="OplEcp" priv="311"> <b:Color>26367</b:Color> </b:OplEcp> <b:OplEcp type="OplEcp" priv="411"> <b:Color>13421772</b:Color> </b:OplEcp> <b:OplEcp type="OplEcp" priv="511"> <b:Color>11796480</b:Color> </b:OplEcp> <b:OplEcp type="OplEcp" priv="611"> <b:Color>9437184</b:Color> </b:OplEcp> <b:OplEcp type="OplEcp" priv="711"> <b:Color>16777215</b:Color> </b:OplEcp> </b:Rgecp> <b:IScheme priv="304">2000</b:IScheme> <b:SzSchemeName priv="618">C3</b:SzSchemeName> </b:ColorScheme> <![if pub11]> <![endif]> </xml><![endif]--><!--[if pub]><xml> <b:Page type="OplPd" oty="67" oh="265"> <b:PtlvOrigin type="OplPt" priv="511"> <b:Xl>22852860</b:Xl> <b:Yl>22856760</b:Yl> </b:PtlvOrigin> <b:Oid priv="605">(`@`````````</b:Oid> <b:OhoplWebPageProps priv="90E">266</b:OhoplWebPageProps> <b:OhpdMaster priv="D0D">263</b:OhpdMaster> <b:PgtType priv="1004">5</b:PgtType> <b:PtlvOriginEx type="OplPt" priv="1111"> <b:Xl>110178060</b:Xl> <b:Yl>110181960</b:Yl> </b:PtlvOriginEx> </b:Page> </xml><![endif]--> <!-- /* Font Definitions */ @font-face {font-family:Verdana;
