Good morning.

In the message of Suday morning we were reminded of how important love is as we persevere. Talking of love Paul writes: "It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. (1 Corinthians 13:7) Love overcomes all things.

In Jude 1:3 Jude urges us to contend for the faith. We were reminded that as we persevere in our Christian walk, we need to contend for:

• Community - church, the body of Christ, is a healing community.

• Relationships - love is the glue in relationships. Love overcomes all things.

• Those who can't. There are so many folk battling with depression and anxiety. Life seems almost too much for them to bear. Let God use you as you contend for those who can't.

"To this end I strenuously contend with all the energy Christ so powerfully works in me." (Colossians 1:29)

Have a blessed day.

Blessings.

Mike and Daphne
