Jesus prayed three times in the Garden of Gethsemane, each time saying the same thing. A touching example of persistence in prayer. In this, Jesus puts into practice what he taught in some of his parables. By the end of his times of prayer he was clear that he must drink the cup and he boldly arose to face his betrayer.
Hi and welcome.
Ashfield Baptist Church is a "caring community church sharing God's love". We are very diverse in our nationalities, backgrounds and ages, but united in our desire to grow spiritually and to reach out and help others. Our vision is "to be a body of Christ-like people living out the great commandment and the great commission in the Holy Spirit's power".
This blog is mainly for people connected with Ashfield Baptist Church. It has been set up as an "info & chat space" as we start the "THRU IN 2" challenge. This is our program for reading the Bible right through during 2007 & 2008. Many are using the Every Day With Jesus Bible which also has daily devotions from Selwyn Hughes. As we read through the Bible together over these two years, we can use this blog to share insights, stories, reflections, questions etc. The goal is to grow spiritually together. So leave your comments. Together we can help each other grow.
Blessings. Ps John.
