Loving God

St pauls brixton loving god

We want to be a church family that is loving God with all that we are, whether we are together or apart.

To help us to do this we encourage each other to go deeper with God everyday by using a few spiritual exercises. Things like spending time with God, listening and giving him our cares & concerns. Learning more about Him by reading and thinking about passages in the Bible; and spending time thanking Him.

A Church Family

As a Church Family we want to be loving God in the way we fight for justice and support the weak. As part of a Church Family we encourage everyone to make public commitments. Commitments like getting baptised or confirmed and in giving our time, prayers and resources.

BE STILL

Be still and know that I am God.  Psalm 46.10

CENTRE
It is good just to centre ourselves on God, being still in His presence. To help you do this you might want to focus on a verse of scripture or the Jesus prayer.

“Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner.”

Spend some time just in silence.

CONFESS (Psalm 51:1-19)
Ask the Holy Spirit to show you anything in your life which might be displeasing to Him. Ask Him to point out attitudes that are wrong, as well as specific acts for which you have not yet made a prayer of confession. Now confess that to the Lord and claim 1 John 1:9 so that you might be cleansed.

LISTEN (Psalm 63)
Listen and ask the Lord to speak back to you and keep a paper and pen handy, ready to relate the impressions that He makes upon your life.
