Verse of the day
At that time the disciples came to Jesus, saying, "Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?" And calling to him a child, he put him in the midst of them and said, "Truly, I say to you, unless you turn and become like children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. Whoever humbles himself like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven."
- Matthew 18:1-4 (ESV)

Nothing is covered up that will not be revealed, or hidden that will not be known. Therefore whatever you have said in the dark shall be heard in the light, and what you have whispered in private rooms shall be proclaimed on the housetops. Luke 12:2-3

A time to Move Home

Seeing Clearly
After Christmas there are some things we would rather not see – ever – let alone clearly! For example, the credit card bill or, perhaps, our waistline.
‘Anxiety in a man’s heart weighs him down, but a good word makes him glad.’ (Proverbs 12:25)
The following is the story of how God’s ‘good’ word changed the life of one our church members:
Rob’s story
I was raised in a Christian family and always remember enjoying church events such as meals and camps. As a teenager, TV became more interesting to me, so I stopped going to church. With new friends I started
Let me start, then, with a big ‘thank you’ to all who attended the Induction service on the 26th September and so made the day very special for me and my family. My wife and I feel very privileged and humbled to be called by the Lord to serve QBC and the wider community in Quedgeley.
No matter how independent and self-reliant we seek to be, it is good for us to be led by a benevolent King! In J. R. R. Tolkien’s concluding episode “Return of the King,” Middle Earth’s rightful king, Aragorn, leads the humans in one last, all-out attempt to turn back the forces of evil. After many costly battles, there’s a glorious coronation day for the triumphant king. As the crown is placed on the head of the rightful ruler before this jubilant crowd of his subjects, they know the dark days are over. And the one who crowned him makes this hope-filled announcement – “Now begin the days of the King!”
