Welcome to Believe Together, the churches together in Kingcham Saltford production for KTCRFM 105.8 and online. Well, some of you may know, particularly if you come from Scotland or are Scottish, that the 25th of January is Burns Night. Now, I confess I don't really know much about it. I don't celebrate it. But when the life and poetry of Robbie Burns is celebrated on Burns Night, well, there's a question I want to ask you about that. So this is the first question for this week's Just For Fun quiz. Question one. When you celebrate Burns Night, what is the traditional greeting at their meals? Is it A. Oike Va? Sorry about mispronunciations, folks. If you're Scottish, you'll know what it would be. So A. Oike Va? Or is it B. Slandu Va? You get that one? I'll tell you what they mean later. Or C. Is it Dioc Undoris? And I can't roll my R's either. Sorry. So that's, is it Oike Va? Or Slandu Va? Or Dioc Undoris? The most common sort of greeting that people give on Burns Night. Hmm. Interesting. Incidentally, those of you who listened in last week with our theme of Canada may realise there is a small link here between Canada and Scotland because so many of the Canadians actually trace back their roots to Scotland. There's a very large Scottish community in Canada who celebrate with pipe conventions and tossing the caber and Highland Games and that sort of thing. Wow. Good for them. I'm glad they can really enjoy that heritage. But we have a bit of music now which is neither Canadian nor Scottish. This is History Makers from Delirious. Is it true today That when people cry Cloudless skies will break Kings and queens will shine Yes, it's true I'm amazing I'm living for you Is it true today That when people Will see dead men rise And the blind celebrate Yes, it's true I'm amazing I'm living for you I'm gonna be A history maker in this land I'm gonna be A speaker of truth to the common I'm gonna stand I'm gonna run Into your arms Into your arms Well, it's true today That when people stay With the father gone And the truth in hand We'll see miracles We'll see angels We'll see broken hearts Making history Yes, it's true I'm amazing I'm living for you I'm gonna be A history maker in this land I'm gonna be A speaker of truth to the common I'm gonna stand I'm gonna run I'm gonna run Into your arms Into your arms I'm gonna be A history maker in this land I'm gonna be A speaker of truth to the common I'm gonna stand I'm gonna run Into your arms Into your arms Into your arms Into your arms Into your arms Delirious for history makers Now, you may well have noticed That one of the main themes of that song Was prayer Now, we've talked before About the eternal wall of answered prayer Which is to be built in the Midlands And one of the prayers Posted recently by a woman Number 24,884 to be precise Is going to be read by Jenny now Okay My firstborn son was about one month old I was breastfeeding him with a shawl For privacy in a coffee shop He stopped feeding And I assumed he fell asleep I moved the shawl to see his face And blood was coming out of his nose And he seemed asleep I was so scared and screamed out My friend was with me and calmed me The staff ran over It turned out a paramedic was in the coffee shop My friends arranged an ambulance I was in shock There was also one off-duty police person Who also helped Their fast action, I'm sure, helped so much He was put in an incubator and put to sleep He had experienced a pulmonary hemorrhage Which was bleeding in his lungs Our church friends, family, pastor Prayed and visited On day two or three I was listening to worship music In the hospital parents room And sensed peace Peace if this was all the time we'd have He started to respond and heal very quickly The doctors were surprised by his quick improvement We couldn't believe it But by day six we were home and discharged There was no sign of effects physically That he had ever experienced that They investigated and followed up regularly For four years We never find a cause or lasting effects Today is a month off his 13th birthday Fit and healthy, hardly ever getting ill Prayer works, God is always with us Thank you Jenny for reading that prayer From the Eternal Wall of Answered Prayer Now, there are this week's verse for the week From the Leprosy Mission In nothing be anxious But in everything By prayer and petition With thanksgiving Let your requests be made known to God That comes from the New Testament of the Bible Philippians chapter 4 verse 6 Now continuing to think about prayer Here's a song, I don't think I've heard it before It's the Lord's Prayer It's yours It's by Matt Mayer I wonder if you've heard it before Father let your kingdom come Father let your will be done On earth as in heaven Right here in my heart Father let your kingdom come Father let your will be done On earth as in heaven Right here in my heart On earth as in heaven Right here in my heart Forgive us this day our daily bread Forgive us, forgive us As we forgive the ones who sin Forgive us, forgive us And lead us not into temptation But deliver us from the evil Let your kingdom come Father let your kingdom come Father let your will be done On earth as in heaven Right here in my heart Father let your kingdom come Father let your will be done On earth as in heaven Right here in my heart Give us this day our daily bread Forgive us, forgive us As we forgive the ones who sin Forgive us, forgive us And lead us not into temptation But deliver us from the evil Let your kingdom come It's yours, it's yours All yours, all yours The kingdom, the power, the glory are yours It's yours, it's yours All yours, all yours Forever and ever The kingdom is yours It's yours, it's yours All yours, all yours The kingdom, the power, the glory are yours It's yours, it's yours All yours, all yours Forever and ever The kingdom is yours Father let your kingdom come Father let your will be done On earth as in heaven Right here in my heart Father let your kingdom come Father let your will be done On earth as in heaven Right here in my heart On earth as in heaven Right here in my heart On earth as in heaven Right here in my heart Thank you Matt and Maya for that Now here's a little introduction to our next quiz question Number 2 I wonder if you know that the 27th of January is Holocaust Memorial Day It's not a lovely subject is it? But it seems important for us all not to forget the Holocaust when the government of Nazi Germany persecuted in all sorts of ways so many people Many observances fall on the 27th of January because it's the anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz concentration camp in 1945 17 million people from various groups were murdered How many of this 17 million do you think were Jewish? This is the quiz question 6 million, 10 million or 14 million? 6 million, 10 million or 14 million Jewish people murdered Thank you Jenny Now if you're a local person who's lived in the Keynesham area for some years then you'll probably know a lady called Marilyn and her son Stephen who have been living in the area for many years Now a few days ago Marilyn asked if she could share something with our radio community So we went round and we were very pleased to record her and this is what she's got to say Going through trials and tribulations we all go through them at times but I found that being not well and struggling through my life at my age now at 87 it hasn't been easy at times but I know I have been given strength by the Lord Jesus because when I'm feeling weak and can't do things I look to him and I know the Lord is always with me and he knows how I'm feeling so he gives me that strength and courage to carry on and without him I do not know where I would be but the Lord is gracious and he knows all how we are in our lives I've proved it time and time and when we are ill or we can't do things just look to him and he will give us that courage to carry on in our lives and that peace that passes all understanding is our Lord Jesus who we love very much, or I do I'm so grateful for how he is with me how he's brought me through not only through me but with Stephen as well, my son Stephen is full of the Lord although he's special needs but he's full of the Lord Jesus and everybody says how happy Stephen is and I know it's the Lord what gives him that understanding and how he is I just thank the Lord for all he's done in my life The Bible says it's a good thing to give thanks to the Lord Amen I come before you today There's just one thing that I want to say Thank you Lord Thank you Lord For all you've given to me For all the blessings that I cannot see Thank you Lord Thank you Lord With a grateful heart With a song of praise With an outstretched arm I will bless your name And thank you Lord I just want to thank you Lord Thank you Lord I just want to thank you Lord Thank you Lord For all you've done in my life You took my darkness and gave me your light Thank you Lord Thank you Lord You took my sin and my shame You took my sickness and healed all my pain Thank you Lord Thank you Lord With a grateful heart With a song of praise With an outstretched arm I will bless your name And thank you Lord I just want to thank you Lord Thank you Lord I just want to thank you Lord Thank you Lord Thank you Lord I just want to thank you Lord Thank you Lord I just want to thank you Lord Thank you Lord Thank you Lord Yes we do For all you've done For all you're doing Thank you, thank you, thank you Yes we do Thank you Lord Thank you Lord With a grateful heart With a song of praise With an outstretched arm I will bless your name Thank you Lord I just want to thank you Lord Thank you Lord Thank you Lord I just want to thank you Lord Thank you, thank you Thank you Lord I just want to thank you Lord Thank you Lord Thank you Lord I just want to thank you Lord Thank you Lord Oh thank you Lord That was Thank you Lord by Don Mohan Yes all about thanking God and praising Him at all times in everything You know that's something that God tells us to do in the New Testament of the Bible It reminds me of a book I read 50 years ago called Prison to Praise by Merlin Carruthers I recommend it to anybody because being thankful and praising God in all things can be so transforming in our lives and make us so much stronger Hey you, have you ever felt like listening to our sister program on a Friday evening to kickstart your weekend early?

I hope after the first three of my Talking Newspaper talks you can see glimmers of joy in a dull post-Christmas time of year We're all longing for the sun and the first snowdrop to appear But the church's calendar continues with another sign of wonder The third of the three wonders of the Epiphany season is Jesus' turning water into wine at the marriage at Cana The story is told in only one of the four Gospels, John and it occurs right at the beginning of Jesus' ministry In many ways it launches it He is there as a guest with his mother and first Galilean disciples his friends No one is thinking of him doing anything other than just joining in with the celebrations But then it all changes This simple wedding feast is the first demonstration manifestation of Jesus' divine power the first hint of him being who he is the Son of God His mother, of course, knew She always knew She knew it was only a matter of time And it is she who nudges him into action He protests Woman, what is that to do with you and me? My time has not yet come But it had, and Mary knew, and he knew it She doesn't argue, but just says to the servant Do what he tells you to do We should never forget the part Mary played in God's plan for the world And so a miracle of power is performed But John doesn't call it a miracle He calls it a sign Jesus did this, he writes the first of his signs in Cana of Galilee and revealed his glory Turning water into wine was more than a sign of power It was a sign of care and love The motivation at this juncture was to help a family out of an embarrassing situation But more than that, it was a sign of abundance Six stone water jars means gallons and gallons Enough for many feasts Power, love and generous abundance are the hallmark of God's blessing to humanity through Christ God's glory is not just about power It's also about love and generosity Wow, awesome, as our young people might say Yes, awesome, truly awesome So when we feel weak and things seem to pile in on us Let us remember God's awesome power In John's next chapter he writes the famous verse For God so loved the world that he gave his only son so that everyone who believes in him may not perish but may have eternal life God loved us so much that he gave Jesus so that if we turn to him we will never be overwhelmed by the power of darkness but have true life now and forever Later, John recalls Jesus saying again I came that whoever comes to me may have life and have it abundantly Power, love and generous abundance With Christ we have it all Awesome It's been a privilege to share with you this last month May God bless the months to come But whatever 2024 may bring Remember that God is with you and holds you in his hand From the highest of heights to the depths of the sea Creation's revealing your majesty From the colors of fall to the fragrance of spring Every creature's unique in the song that it sings All-exclaiming, indescribable, uncontainable You place the stars in the sky and you know they're my name You are amazing God All-powerful, untamable All strength we fall to our knees and we hold it for faith That you are amazing God You show every lightning bolt where it should go Or sing heavenly storehouses laden with snow Imagine the sun and get lost in its light Yet you'll see that to bring us the fruits of life No one can stop us Indescribable, uncontainable You place the stars in the sky and you know they're my name You are amazing God All-powerful, untamable All strength we fall to our knees and we hold it for faith That you are amazing God You are amazing God You are amazing God Indescribable, uncontainable You place the stars in the sky and you know they're my name You are amazing God All-powerful, untamable All strength we fall to our knees and we hold it for faith That you are amazing God You are indescribable, uncontainable You place the stars in the sky and you know they're my name You are amazing God Incomparable, untamable You be the depth of my heart and you love me the same You are amazing God You are amazing God You are amazing God Well, thank you Trevor for your thoughts for the week for January and for choosing Indescribable, sung there by Laura Story.

And of course, you're welcome to bring along your own packed tea if you need to. There will be optional activities available both for adults and children at cafe churches for all ages. And then we, Peter and Jenny, will be interviewed in the coffee with pasta slot where we'll share a lot more about Believe Together, what it's all about, what use you could make of it, and how you might well be able to contribute things to it. We will of course also mention how it is just a small part of KTCR FM and also about our sister show, The Lighter Show. So, if you're able to, why not come along and join us on that evening, Sunday 4th February from 5pm. Go on, you know you want to, and to see some of the faces behind Believe Together. As we've no idea how many might come along, and we want to ensure there are enough tables and chairs put out, it might be helpful if you could let us know if you hope to come along. But if you forget to do so, just come anyway. We really look forward to seeing those of you who can make it. Now, if you're unable to come along in person on the 4th of February, then providing technology works, you can watch the coffee with pasta slot afterwards, once it has been posted on the Elim Church website.
