God gives A New Perspective: if you lack wisdom, ask God...

‘God gives...’ Encountering and receiving from the God of abundance.

In John’s Gospel, Jesus says, 

’I have come to give life - life till it overflows.’  (John 10:10)

What an amazing gift, but I wonder… is that the experience of many of us?

Rather than the abundance that Jesus promised, sometimes our own experience is one of scarcity - not enough space, time, energy, enthusiasm, resilience... 

Through our encounter days this year, we will be reflecting on how we have a God who gives… gives all that we need to live for him and experience the abundant life that Jesus offers. So may we encourage you to make space for time away at Foxhill, whether for a day or a few days, to meet with and receive from the God who gives.

For the past eight years, Stan has been associate minister at St.Mary's Cheadle, and before that ministered in Southampton and Eastbourne (he gets about!)

When not playing golf and online chess (both very badly....), he is a husband, father and seeker after God's wisdom. 

For this encounter day, we will be pondering what it looks like to seek God in the dark times and, particularly, seeing what we've got to learn from Elijah's encounter with God as told in 1 Kings chapter 19.
