Welcome to Believe Together, a Churches Together in Kingcham Saltford production for KTCRFM 105.8 and online. I loved this song as a kid, and it means even more to me now. This song isn't really about Grandpa. It's about how far we've strayed from the simple good values that the previous generation represents. I long for the days where we loved more than we fought. I love this song, and I hope you do too. Well, thank you, Dave. Yes, it's a beautiful song. Now it's time for our Just for Fun quiz. Time for question one. Thank you, Blaze. Now, just before I read out question one, I'd like to remind everybody that we're really looking forward to you giving us any sort of questions at all for our Just for Fun quiz. Well, this week, though, I just have a few sort of odd questions for you. So here is that number one. Which country has the highest life expectancy? Oh, that must be a very healthy, very advanced country. I wonder. I wonder which one it is. It's our country, Peter. Well, I don't know. It could be, I suppose. But there's lots of other countries. You'll find out later. Indeed. And now, for the Thought for the Week for the Kingcham Talking Newspaper. I've been given the privilege of sharing the epilogues for the Kingcham Talking Newspaper and the Believe Together radio show during the month of February. And I began last week by introducing my theme, trees. We saw how many physical benefits we receive from living close to trees. But I went on to suggest that they also have a deeper significance and influence on our lives, touching us emotionally and spiritually. As a church minister, I am very aware of how big a role trees play within the pages of scripture. They serve as important channels of God's communication throughout the biblical story. We see them first in the creation accounts in Genesis, bearing fruit for the first humans to eat. Among them is the tree of life and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, which we will return to in a later talk. The next appearance, however, of trees comes in the story of Abraham. When he first arrived in the land of Canaan, we are told that he built an altar to God next to the great tree at Moray. There must have been something spiritual about that tree. A bit like the sycamore gap tree next to Hadrian's Wall, whose cutting down last September felt like sacrilege to so many people who had renewed their wedding vows beneath its canopy, for example. Maybe the great tree at Moray was already a sacred place for the local people before Abraham arrived. Maybe it just exuded a sense of permanence and strength that was reassuring to a traveller feeling vulnerable in an unknown land. Perhaps its branches resembled giant arms opening wide to offer Abraham welcome and protection. Whatever it was, Abraham sensed God's presence there. Later, Abraham would encounter God again, while camped under another clump of trees. It was in their shade that he heard three mysterious visitors tell him that his elderly wife would have a baby. Trees in the Bible are often symbols of God's blessing. An example of this is when the Israelites returned from exile in Babylon. To describe their change in fortunes, the prophet Isaiah, in one single verse, lists out seven species of tree that will shoot up. In chapter 41 he records God as saying, I will put in the desert the cedar and the acacia, the myrtle and the olive, I will set pines in the wasteland, the fir and the cypress together. Later he says that as the people travelled back to their homeland, it was as if the trees of the field clapped their hands with joy. In describing the future peace and prosperity God's people will enjoy, several prophets use the expression, each person will sit under their own fig tree, which is a lovely image of contentment as people enjoy the shade and the fruit of their own personal tree. Much later of course, instead of sitting under a sycamore tree, a certain short tax collector climbed up into its branches so that he could see Jesus passing by. That tree became the means by which Zacchaeus was able to meet Jesus and have his life changed for the better. I want to finish this brief tour of some of the trees mentioned in the Bible, by reading some more words of Isaiah, later referred to by Jesus. In chapter 61 Isaiah says that the spirit of the Lord is on him because the Lord has anointed him to preach good news to the poor. He then lists out the changes his ministry will make to those who are struggling, before saying that, quote, I hope you find that wonderful image uplifting. I hope that the next time you find yourself admiring a majestic oak tree in all its glory, as it lifts its swaying branches in praise and spreads the incense of its aroma all around, that you realise this is how God sees you. However poor, broken-hearted, blind or imprisoned you may feel, Jesus came in order to make that image true for you, in order that you might become an oak of righteousness, a planting of the Lord for the display of his splendour. Thank you for listening. The mountains and the hills will ring forth before you. There'll be shouts of joy, and all the trees of the field will clap, will clap their hands. And all the trees of the field will clap their hands. The trees of the field will clap their hands. The trees of the field will clap their hands. While you go out with joy. Shall go out with joy, and be ignored with peace. The mountains and the hills will ring forth before you. There'll be shouts of joy, and all the trees of the field will clap, will clap their hands. And all the trees of the field will clap their hands. The trees of the field will clap their hands. The trees of the field will clap their hands. While you go out with joy. And all the trees of the field will clap their hands. The trees of the field will clap their hands. The trees of the field will clap their hands. While you go out with joy. And all the trees of the field will clap their hands. The trees of the field will clap their hands. The trees of the field will clap their hands. While you go out with joy. And all the trees of the field will clap their hands. The trees of the field will clap their hands. The trees of the field will clap their hands. While you go out with joy. Out with joy. Out with joy. Thank you again, Kevin, for bringing us more stories about trees from the Bible. And thank you to the Gaithers for that live recording of Trees of the Field. Now, I read something else interesting not so long ago. But I wonder if any of you have been recently or maybe the last couple of years into the Broadmead Shopping Centre in Bristol. Well, I only recently went in there to Broadmead and I passed by something with a big sign over it saying Sparks. And then I happened to read up something about Sparks. It's in place of the old Marks and Spencer store there. And there's all sorts of things going on there. Everybody seems to be more interested nowadays in sustainability, etc. Well, this place has got something to do with it. They've had loads of children and young people visit the store to learn about sustainability and repair skills. People have received energy advice. And companies are trying to improve their sustainability credentials through a range of workshops there. All sorts of things going on. And the ground floor of Sparks houses the Department of Fashion, Reuse, Food, Education, Nature, Travel and Energy. And in 2023, Sparks supported over 120 local ethical traders. Anyway, what was distressing news, apparently, they thought it was about to close Sparks. The money's not there to sort of do whatever they need to do there. But now some grants have been put forward and they say that Sparks will definitely stay till at least Christmas 2025. So I'm sure that's good news. Now when I was there, I didn't have time to go inside. I had to pass by quickly. But I'm hoping to go inside soon and see what it's all about. So, if you're in the area, why not have a visit to Sparks and see what things are going on in there. Hey, you.

That beautiful song about creation was called Nature Shines with Beauty and was brought to us by Resound Worship. Thank you so much to them for that beautiful song. Now we're going to move on with a short report from what happened last Sunday evening. Well the way it went was this. It's almost the fourth birthday of Believe Together. So when Jenny and I were asked to come along to Cafe Church at Cainsham Elam Church we decided it would be a good idea to celebrate our fourth birthday of the radio show at that event which we did. Now there was a 40 minute interview while we were there at the Cafe Church and you can see the whole thing if you'd like to go to our Facebook page the Believe Together Facebook page Believe Together Radio is the way you find it or you can go into YouTube and simply search for Cainsham Elam and then scroll down until you get to the Cafe Church event. But we'll just play you a quick excerpt here about, well, we were trying to explain how we got involved with this radio show so we tried to explain what happened. There was, on the Churches Together Rick came along from the station manager of the new station which hadn't actually started yet and he said, Please churches, can you give us an hour a week or more of radio shows? Can you do us something? No cost. Will you please give us a radio show? Yes. I mean, it's a no-brainer, isn't it? All you have to do is produce it. And it goes out. So we said, I jumped up and said in the council and said, Yes, we'll do it. And then we had to find people to do it. Anyway, we did get a team together we got Simon, who's here tonight George, Celia, Des, Lisa and a variety of different people but then, I say, when COVID struck instead of being able to go down to the studio and record we'd done it for a few times we couldn't. But we were still allowed to have six people meeting in our front room at home so we did that. And then restrictions got more and we couldn't have anybody in our house but just the two of us. So, the two of us kept it going. I wasn't going to be on it at all I was just making the tea. Yeah, that's right. And I was literally sitting in the corner watching the others do the recording and all that and we weren't presenting or doing anything but then suddenly we had to get on with it and... And the rest is history, as they say. We may well bring you some more clips from that long interview another time but right now, over to Robin Mark for his version of the great classic hymn Guide Me, O Thou Great Jehovah Guide me, O Thou Great Jehovah Children, through this barren land I am weak, but Thou, Almighty Hold me with Thy powerful hand Bread of Heaven, Bread of Heaven Feed me, Thou Jehovah Feed me, Thou Jehovah Open now the crystal fountain Open now the crystal fountain When the healing streams unfloat Set the dark and cloudy pillars Lead me on my journey through Strong deliverer, strong deliverer Be thou still my strength and shield Be thou still my strength and shield When I tread, when I tread The verge of Jordan In my anxious fears subside Death of death and hell's destruction Let me stay on Canaan's side Songs of praises, songs of praises I will ever give to Thee I will ever give to Thee When I tread, when I tread The verge of Jordan In my anxious fears subside Death of death and hell's destruction Let me stay on Canaan's side Songs of praises, songs of praises I will ever give to Thee I will ever give to Thee Songs of praises, songs of praises I will ever give to Thee I will ever give to Thee I will ever give to Thee I know it's time for our Just for Fun quiz. Time for question two. Okay, question number two. Queen guitarist Brian May is also an expert in what scientific field? Right, that doesn't mean guitars. No, science. Right, I think it's time for our international news headlines. Pope condemns anti-Judaism, anti-Semitism amid new wave of attacks against Jews. Vietnamese man given four and a half years in prison for hosting prayer meetings. Church of Ireland Archbishop urges clergy to model unity in new era for Northern Ireland's governance. MP calls on Met to better train their officers following Christian Busker shutdown. Churches urged to provide space for pharmacies as chemists gain more powers. Study suggests people with religion coped better during COVID pandemic. Many of us won't have heard these news headlines until now and if you want to find out more about them please feel free, just go off onto Google or somewhere else, of course there are other search engines and find out, read up about them. Some of it is very interesting stuff. Now for my verse for the week from my diary. This is from Philippians 4 verse 6. Are you weary? Are you heavy hearted? Tell it to Jesus, tell it to Jesus Are you grieving? Oh rejoice, be guarded Tell it to Jesus alone Tell it to Jesus, tell it to Jesus He is a friend that's well known You have no other such a friend or brother Tell it to Jesus alone Do the tears flow down your cheeks unbidden? Tell it to Jesus, tell it to Jesus Have you sinned that two men's eyes are hidden? Tell it to Jesus alone Tell it to Jesus, tell it to Jesus He is a friend that's well known You have no other such a friend or brother Tell it to Jesus alone Do you fear the gathering clouds of sorrow? Tell it to Jesus alone Do you fear the gathering clouds of sorrow? Tell it to Jesus alone Do you fear the gathering clouds of sorrow? Tell it to Jesus alone Do you fear the gathering clouds of sorrow? Tell it to Jesus alone Do you fear the gathering clouds of sorrow? Do you fear the gathering clouds of sorrow? Tell it to Jesus, tell it to Jesus Are you anxious what shall be tomorrow? Tell it to Jesus alone Tell it to Jesus, tell it to Jesus He is a friend that's well known You have no other such a friend or brother Tell it to Jesus alone Do you trouble at the thought of dying? Tell it to Jesus, tell it to Jesus Are cries coming, kingdom are you sighing? Tell it to Jesus alone Tell it to Jesus, tell it to Jesus He is a friend that's well known You have no other such a friend or brother Tell it to Jesus alone That was Tell it to Jesus sung for us there by Willie Nelson That was simple words but so profound I know I like to tell it to Jesus and offload everything on my mind before I go to sleep every night And now it's time for our Just for Fun quiz and time for question three Here is question number three Who discovered that the earth revolves around the sun? You mean it isn't flat? Aha Anyway, I reckon it's always good to learn something, isn't it? It's always good for us to learn something new every now and then anyway So my ears pricked up When I was reading my Bible notes on the morning on the 1st of February I used notes produced by Nicky Gumbel the guy who looked after the Alpha Course got it going in the first place and he produces these Bible notes and you can either read them or you can listen to him reading them Anyway, back on the 1st of February he was talking about a couple of difficult long words that I'd only heard in a sermon by our friend David Morton that was the only other time I'd ever heard them used but they were very interesting so I thought, yeah, OK let's listen to him talking about this talking about one of his friends Nick Hills is one of the cleverest people I've ever met He's a scholar and an intellectual He has a brilliant mind We were schooling in university together About three months after my first encounter with Jesus Christ as a first year student he too had an experience of Jesus In fact, he went on to help Justin Welby who's now Archbishop of Canterbury find faith in Jesus Immediately, Nick started reading massive theological books I remember asking him what he was reading about He replied he was reading about the transcendence and immanence of God I had no idea what he meant I had to look up both words in the dictionary Transcendence and immanence describe the almost paradoxical nature of our relationship with God The transcendence of God means that God exists apart from and is not subject to the limitations of the material universe He is above and beyond surpassing and excelling greatly superior to us On the other hand the immanence of God means it's possible to experience his immediate friendship It's only when you understand the transcendence of God that you see how amazing his immanence is and what a huge privilege it is to be able to enjoy intimate friendship with God You're listening to Believe Together A Churches Together in Cainsham and Salford production by the KTCR FM 105.8 and online Now for a few what's ons You may want to have a pen and paper handy just in case you want to jot something down Yep, OK We'll start off with the Repair Cafe This Saturday the 10th of February It's the second Saturday of the month and that means the farmers market should be back Down at the Baptist Church on the High Street in Cainsham the one with the garden at the front It's open from 10 in the morning until 12 noon So what could you bring along to be repaired?
