Trust in the LORD, and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed. Delight thyself also in the LORD: and He shall give thee the desires of thine heart. Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in Him; and He shall bring it to pass. And He shall bring forth thy righteousness as the light, and thy judgment as the noonday. Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for Him: fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass.
Psalm 37 vs 3-7 (KJV)

Testimonies and breakthroughs will be shared when we meet for prayer at 7pm at Oxford Seventh-day Adventist Church.

ADRA-UK invites your support for the ADRA-UK Philippines Emergency Appeal. a series of powerful storms and earthquakes has devastated many parts of the Philippines in recent months, leaving families and entire communities in urgent need. More than 4.1 million people have been affected. Over 200 lives have been lost, many remain missing, and nearly 380,000 people have been forced to seek shelter in evacuation centres or with relatives. Countless homes have been destroyed, and families urgently need safe shelter, clean water, and food. We kindly ask for your prayerful support and your help in raising funds for this critical response. You can participate by collecting a special offering through the church, encouraging others to donate online by sharing the QR code below or via the link on ADRA-UK website at: https://adra.org.uk/philippines-emergency-appeal/
The SEC Personal Ministries Department are very pleased to share a newly launched evangelism project designed to inspire and equip our members for mission. The project is titled, Evangelism-One-On-One. This 40-part video discipleship journey is designed to move members from witnessing fearfully to witnessing faithfully. These short, powerful lessons will be released weekly, and are ideal for small group study, personal growth, or outreach preparation.

Lesson 9: Heirs of Promises, Prisoners of Hope
Memory Text: “Return to your stronghold, O prisoners of hope; today I declare that I will restore to you double” (Zechariah 9:12, ESV).
“In the Bible the inheritance of the saved is called ‘a country.’ Hebrews 11:14-16. There the heavenly Shepherd leads His flock to fountains of living waters. The tree of life yields its fruit every month, and the leaves of the tree are for the service of the nations. There are ever-flowing streams, clear as crystal, and beside them waving trees cast their shadows upon the paths prepared for the ransomed of the Lord. There the wide-spreading plains swell into hills of beauty, and the mountains of God rear their lofty summits. On those peaceful plains, beside those living streams, God’s people, so long pilgrims and wanderers, shall find a home.”—Ellen G. White, The Great Controversy, p. 675.
