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.

Proverbs 6:6 (EDWJ Bible) says: "Go to the ant, you slacker! Observe its ways and become wise." What can we learn from the ant? When I preached on this at the evening service on 3 June I suggested the following.
1. Get prepared (6:8)
2. Get motivated (6:7)
3. Get to work (6:9-11)
My Wednesday night homegroup suggested the following as well --discipline, persistence, cooperation and purpose.
It is helpful to be reading the Gospels at the same time as the Books of the Law. Because we can see how Jesus handled the Law even as we read it. In Mark 2 and 3 we see the Pharisees accusing Jesus of not keeping the Sabbath. Jesus points to the place of Law by teaching that "The Sabbath was made for man and not man for the Sabbath" (Mk 2:27).
In the following verse, he uses the title "Son of Man" for himself. But he is also the "Son of God". Mark declared it in opening his Gospel (1:1), God declared it after Jesus' baptism (1:11) and here Mark tells us that even the evil spirits declared it (2:11).
