Monday 31st – L is for Level (and Lebanon).
What can a magnificent tree teach us about the life of faith?
This week, John Partis takes us from childhood memories of towering trees to one of the most remarkable trees mentioned in Scripture — the Cedar of Lebanon.
Majestic. Strong. Long-lived. Impressive.
But beneath its towering branches lies a much deeper message about where our strength comes from, what it means to grow well, and why even the tallest tree needs to remain dependent on its Creator.
And there is a warning too…
Because Scripture reminds us that something can stand very tall and still fall.
L is for Level (and Lebanon) is a thoughtful reflection on growth, strength, humility and the importance of staying rooted in God.
What might the Cedar of Lebanon have to say about your life and your walk with God?
You’ll have to read John’s reflection to discover it…
Coming this week on Bearing Kingdom Fruit.
Friday 4th – A Roman Centurion
Some conversations recorded in Scripture are easy to overlook, yet they contain life-changing truths that can deepen our faith and transform the way we see Jesus.
This week, we continue our Conversations with Jesus devotional series with the 4th Conversation: A Roman Centurion by Jill.
At first glance, this encounter seems to be a simple request for healing. But as the conversation unfolds, we discover a remarkable display of humility, faith, and an understanding of Jesus that astonished even those who stood closest to Him. One man’s response reveals a powerful spiritual principle that remains just as relevant for every believer today.
What did this unlikely visitor recognise about Jesus that many others missed? And what might his example teach us about trusting Christ in our own lives?
Join us this week as we explore this extraordinary meeting and discover how living under Christ’s authority can shape the way we pray, believe, and follow Him each day.
We look forward to sharing this next devotional with you on Bearing Kingdom Fruit.
