Welcome to Grace Notes, an Outreach of the North Taranaki Methodist Parish. Each week we intend to offer some food for the soul, in a variety of forms—spoken word, prayer, scripture, music—sometimes to awaken us and sometimes to soothe us.
Two kings 2:1-14 provides the basis for a message on actions speaking better than words.
Acts 16:16-34 tells of Paul and Solas being 'sprung' from prison. The reverberation of this miracle is felt still.
Luke 18:1-8 is the basis of a message about persistence. What if God is the one with greatest perseverance?
John 21:1-17 shows us Jesus encountering the disciples one last time. He asks Peter "Do you love me?"
John 20:19-31 tells the familiar story of "Doubting Thomas". Thomas has the courage to say what he needs.
As the gospel writer John tells it, Easter starts in darkness and light arrives one by one.
John 12:1-8 tells of Mary anointing Jesus with expensive perfume. A grace-filled moment before the event of Holy Week.
