St. Andrews Dentons Green
Welcome to the St. Andrews Dentons Green Podcast. We are a Church of England church based in the North West of England, encouraging people to pray together, to grow in faith together, and to go out into the world to share the good news of God’s love. Listen to our free reflections and devotionals, and we pray that these encourage you. www.standrewsdentonsgreen.org
Tim brings us a message based on Luke 13:6-8 - if we want to be truly fruitful, if we want to satisfy the thirst that is in our human lives, we need to turn to God.
Paul reads from Genesis 15:1-18 and Sarah reads from Luke 13:31-35. Chris brings a message about God's covenant with us, a message about how we should trust in God, even in our darkest times, just as Abram did. What sustains you? What sustains your faith?
Chris reads from Luke 9:28-36 and brings us a message about prayer, and how prayer really can make a difference. We especially think of this as we pray for the situation in Ukraine. Make a difference: Pray.
Chris reads from Luke 6:17-26 and brings us the challenge to get up, go ahead, do something and move, reflecting upon the ministry of Bishop Paul Bayes as he retires as Bishop of Liverpool. #BiggerChurchBiggerDifference
