Wednesday Worship led by Rev Suzanne Nockels – 10th January 2024

Suzanne asked how our New Years Resolutions were holding up? Are we doing things differently in 2024?
She chose t look at the Baptism of Jesus where John who was baptising the populous suddenly coming face to face with the Lord and we hear God praising his son yet at this point Jesus had not done anything extra ordinary in his time on earth. Why is God so pleased? This should be our motivation that God loves us before we do anything.
Reading Jonah 3:1-4:4 – Destruction of Nineveh
Nineveh a huge city where a foreign pagan violent people live causing Jonah to travel in the opposite direction to avoid them. He loathes them.
Jonah enters Nineveh and converts all the pagans despite his hatred of them. Do we consider Gods love is open to everyone even if we don’t have a love for all.
Leading up to the day of Atonement, Jewish people will visit friends family and acquaintances and ask if they have wronged them in the last year and ask for Gods forgiveness for their words, actions etc.
