1 Peter 1:3-4

Deus não nos chama apenas para sermos moralmente corretos e verdadeiros, mas a sermos santos. Essa é uma realização muito alta. E observe a razão da obediência à ordem: “porque Eu Sou Santo”. Os filhos devem ser como os seus pais. Há muitos filhos que carregam, nos seus próprios rostos, evidências da sua filiação; os filhos herdam a natureza dos seus pais. Deus é santo; portanto, como Seus filhos, devemos viver vidas santas. Somos “participantes da natureza divina” (2Pe 1:4) e devemos revelar esta natureza numa vida piedosa.

What keeps you from praying big prayers? In sharing her story of God's life-changing answers to bold prayers, Julia Jeffress Sadler brings the challenge to take God at His Word and see Him move like never before. This week, we will learn how to pray with boldness and watch expectantly for God's answers. The true rarity is not in God’s answering big prayers but in our asking big prayers.

How can we live more Christ-centred lives? This 7-day plan, based on Rooted in Love, a Lent book from all the area bishops in the Diocese of London, is full of practical encouragement and hope designed to help you to grow as a disciple and find ways to put God at the centre of your life every day.

We may not always see or feel it, but God is always with us... even when we're going through hard things. In this plan, Finding Hope Coordinator Amy LaRue writes from the heart about her own family's struggle with addiction and how God's joy broke through in their darkest times.
