“Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.’””

Be to us, O Lord Jesus Christ, the table that is set for all, the light that shines from your saints and the joy prepared for your people; now and for ever. Amen. 

Sovereign God, you are our light and our salvation, to you be glory and praise for ever. We thank you for the Cross and the wonder of Christ’s love for us: he is the light of the world. Anoint us with your Spirit as you call us into your marvellous light. May our lives bear witness to your truth and our lips proclaim your praise. Blessed be God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Amen.

Matthew 13:1-9, 18-23'As for what was sown on good soil, this is the one who hears the word and understands it, who indeed bears fruit.' (v. 23)

John 7:25-36Jesus then said, ‘I will be with you a little while longer, and then I am going to him who sent me. You will search for me, but you will not find me; and where I am, you cannot come.' (vs. 33-34)
