LOVING YOUR NEIGHBOURS IN TIMES OF NEED

Inspired by the #viralkindness idea, we are reminded that it is incumbent on each of us do what we can to demonstrate love and to serve those within our communities in this time of worry and uncertainty. Afterall, we are the "Body of Christ" this means we should act as his hands and feet to extend help to those in need and walk alongside those that need reassurance. We can show the love and light of Christ through practical action.

We’ve designed a community calling card that you can distribute in your area to offer your help to those that might need it. We have created a print-ready file so that your LifeBuilders group can get some printed and hand them out in your neighbourhood. We would strongly recommend you discuss with your local pastor and safeguarding lead. It's always useful to inform your local community police of your plans too.

Please see important information here about safeguarding

S2: EP17 - The Importance of Accountability | SPIRITUAL DISCIPLINES Part 3 - "BROTHERHOOD"

By:

LifeBuilders

What do Will Smith, Frodo Baggins, Denzel Washington, Samwise Gamgen and King David have in common? Probably more than you think to be honest. This episode explores the topic of "brotherhood" and the benefits of "accountability". There is research that suggests men who participate in one on one relationships or small groups mature [spiritually] faster than those who do not. Regular smaller gatherings are where men can often discover things about themselves they may not have previously considered. Spiritual growth doesn't happen in isolation; it occurs in a community, and men need other men.

S2: EP16 - Develop a Healthy Habit of Reading the Word | SPIRITUAL DISCIPLINES Part 2 - "SCRIPTURE"

By:

LifeBuilders

Back in the days before satnavs we used the trusty A-Z Roadmap You could purchase an A-Z for a particular city and every single road in the city was indexed with a map reference With some good map reading skills, you could find your way around in a new city without too much hassle - but you would always need to have the A-Z book to hand, to refresh your memory, double check your bearings and refer to it if you ended up taking a wrong turn. The bible is much like the A-Z Roadmap - in its pages are indexed every road, street, and cul-de-sac that life may present us with - and by reading it we are guided out of calamities and into blessings. So how can we develop a healthy habit of reading the Word?

S2: EP15 - Develop a Healthy Habit of Regular Prayer | SPIRITUAL DISCIPLINE Part 1 - "PRAYER"

By:

LifeBuilders

Prayer is a foundational discipline We need to learn to build prayer into the daily routine of our lives. Prayer - in it's simplest definition - is talking with God If you're new to the faith it can seem a bit unusual talking to someone you can't see - it's just weird. That's because in every other situation, when you have a conversation, it's essentially a two-way street. Someone else is in front of you in -person, on a screen or over the phone So, prayer doesn't exactly work the same way - but what may surprise you is that getting used to talking to someone you don;t see with your natural eyes is not the real challenge In this episode we look at a simple but effective method of embedding prayer into your daily routine Helpful Scriptures Matthew 6:10 1 Peter 3:7 Psalm 32:3-5 1 John 1:9 1 Thessalonians 5:18 Romans 8:28 Matthew 7:11 You can find out more about Lifebuilders Website - https://www.lifebuilders.org.uk Podcast - https://anchor.fm/lifebuildersuk Email - lifebuilders@ntc

ROADMAP: Preparing The Next Generation To Navigate Racial Roadblocks

In the run-up to Father's Day 2020 we reminded ourselves of the responsibility we have to guide the next generation and help them chart their path for the future. In light of the George Floyd incident and the subsequent impact on Black communities around the world, how do we help the next generation prepare for and navigate the racial roadblocks that they will encounter in life?
