Numbers 6:24-26 ‘We wish you a happy and prosperous 2022’ say the cards. But such wishes lack any power, and are nothing more than saying that you hope things work out. By contrast the Aaronic blessing is a powerful prayer which asks God for what we need most in the year ahead.
Mark 9:30-50 What does true discipleship look like? What’s the difference between someone who just says they’re a Christian and a true disciple of Jesus? That is what Jesus starts to unpack in this section as he heads to Jerusalem.
Titus 2 Paul wants Titus to teach sound doctrine, the Grace and Glory of Christ, and this leads to transformed people, affecting how we relate to one another.
1 Kings 20:1-43 What comes to mind when we hear the word ‘God’ really matters. If the God in my mind does not correspond to the God who is actually there, I’m worshipping a false god. It’s worthless idolatry. In this chapter something of what God is like is revealed to us, so that we might know him better.

Galatians 1:11-2:10 We’ve all received scam emails. The telltale hallmark is that if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. But what about the gospel of God’s grace in Christ. All done by Christ, and nothing we need to do. Isn’t that too good to be true? How do we know it’s for real?

And there is no better place to go than the Psalms, the prayer-book of the Bible. What we have here is a masterclass in prayer.
1 Peter 1:13-25 What are the marks of an obedient child? Hope and Holiness. A mindful hope that is certain and fixed on Christ’s return. And a Holy life that is transformed, avoids sin, fears God and is dictated by love.
