The International Day of Prayer for the Persecuted Church (IDOP)

Every year as a church family we join IDOP the International Days of Prayer for the Persecuted Church, a global event that unites millions of Christians in prayer for the persecuted Church. These meetings are promoted by the Evangelical Alliance and Open Doors in order to join in prayer with those who suffer persecution because of their faith in Christ Jesus.

More than 300 million Christians around the world live in difficult places, where they face persecution. They face harassment, detention, legal restraint, violence and even death for their faith in Jesus. 

The Bible instructs us to pray for those who are persecuted as if we were persecuted ourselves (Hebrews 13: 3) and that if a member of the body suffers, we all suffer (1 Corinthians 12:26).

This year we want to be among those who do not turn their backs on the many suffering Christians in the world, for this we will intercede specifically for persecutors, men who with power and violence try to oppose the Kingdom of God, but who unwittingly contribute to its unstoppable progress.

Specifically, we will pray for North Korea, for Afghanistan and Pakistan, for Nigeria and Kenya.

Facing the King - are we worshippers or haters?

Theology for Breakfast

Tomorrow we'll continue
our series of meetings:  
Theology for Breakfast! 
Following Luther's Table Talks example, we'll meet from 9 to 11am @ Central Café in Mezzolara where, while enjoying a breakfast with capuccino & croissants, we'll engage with God's Word discovering the beauty of theology in our everyday life!


We'll interact with the module: Gospel Relationships. With Stefano we'll start Unit 3. Fearing People.
 
Relationships are fundamental to our identity, yet they are fraught with difficulty, fear, conflict and uncertainty. Coming to Christ puts us automatically into relationship with a community of his people. The gospel enables relationships to fulfil their purpose and design. The gospel transforms all our relationships. It resolves conflict, and gives new purpose to friendships, parenting and marriages. Together we'll discover how we can be freed to serve and love others with gospel intentionality.

You can shut him up for a fool, you can spit at him and kill him as a demon or you can fall at his feet and call him Lord and God, but let us not come with any patronising nonsense about his being a great human teacher. He has not left that open to us. He did not intend to."
