Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. – Philippians 2: 9 – 11 Some time ago, Pete Greig, the key catalyst for the 24/7 prayer movement, was asked the question, ‘What is the vision?’ His answer came to him in poetic form, but basically, the answer was ‘Jesus’ – Jesus is the vision.

Prayer News – April 2023
April Prayer News “See! The winter is past; the rains are over and gone. Flowers appear on the earth; the season of singing has come, the cooing of doves is heard in our land. The fig tree forms its early fruit; the blossoming vines spread their fragrance. Arise, come, my darling; my beautiful one, come with me.” Song of Songs 2: 11 – 13 Winter seems to be holding on a little here on the Isle of Arran. We are still seeing snow on the mountains, and the occasional flurry at lower ground. And yet, as Albert Camus said, ‘Once

Sannox Prayer News May 2021 “Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise, give thanks to him and praise his name. For the Lord is good and his love endures forever, his faithfulness continues through all generations.” [Psalm 100:4-5] Being involved in a project like Sannox Christian Centre with the need to raise large amounts of finance to carry out an ambitious building project could be a daunting prospect, if it were not for the fact, the truth, that this is the Lord’s project, not the ‘good idea’ of a few folk. When the Lord directs, He is faithful

‘If you want to walk on water you’ve got to get out of the boat’ is the title of one of John Ortberg’s best known books – all about stepping out in faith and trusting God to meet every need. It’s not something many in our comfortable western Christianity are very good at doing, but it is something that those involved in the Sannox story so far will be familiar with. Starting with virtually nothing apart from a vision and a sense of calling from God, around £900,000 worth of land purchase, building renovations, salary and other revenue costs has already

“Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; his love endures forever.” [Ps 107:1 & 136:1] Scripture frequently reminds and encourages us to give thanks to the Lord, for a whole host of reasons – not least because He is good, and His love endures forever. We need to hang on to that truth as the finish line to this pandemic seems to come tantalisingly closer, only to recede again into the distance following yet another forecast of the time it will take to get on top of it, even as the roll out of the vaccine gathers pace.

Sannox Prayer News – January 2021 The word ‘unprecedented’ has been on everyone’s lips in 2020, and there is no doubt that the year we are leaving behind is one we will remember for a long time – for good reasons as well as for bad. As we transition from 2020 to 2021, we should always remember that the ending of something old is at the same time the beginning of something new. The cycle, the rhythm, of times and seasons flows on – a reminder, if we needed it, of our creator God’s constancy, faithfulness, grace, mercy, compassion and
