Sunday PLUS, Proverbs 2
https://www.berrybunch.family/sunday-plus-proverbs-2/
Tomorrow (Sunday 1st May, 2022) we’ll be hosting our second Zoom, LIVE, Family discipleship group of Sunday PLUS – which you are very welcome to join. It starts from 5pm (UK time) and lasts for no more than 30 minutes. They happen monthly on Sundays.
We’ll be carrying on with our look at the book of Proverbs, in the Old Testament, and what it can teach us: the first one, which we created following a request from some dear friends, went down super well so we’re looking forward to doing it all again.
As usual we’ll have Andy B, Jo Jo and Peter, with a little help from Dave the Dog!

Sunday PLUS, S01E002
Dave the Dog joins Jo Jo in the studio and, well, mostly together, they help Andy B take a look at the second chapter of Proverbs, which is rammed full of wisdom.
Dave the Dog comes to realise that using a permanent marker on his friend's head is not using much in the way of wisdom - at least he gets there in the end!

Sunday PLUS happens around the world at 5pm (UK time). We'll publish the video at 8pm the same day.

Family Prayer Time, Brands, S01E08
Peter & JoJo get together to encourage us, as always, to pray as a family. And they continue their series on using objects around the home to help us stay focused in prayer.
This week, JoJo & Peter continue to inspire us into praying for different countries, nations, or places in the world by using, this time, brands associated with countries.
Peter and JoJo encourage us to find items or pictures of items that are either made in a particular country or reminds us of that country for which we want to pray.
With an item from Ikea – a mobile phone holder made of wood – of all things! - Peter and JoJo pray for Sweden.

Marriage Matters Editor S1 E13
In this week’s Marriage Matters, Andy B and Jo talk about the wider family – Parents, Siblings, Aunts, Uncles, Grandparents and the in laws and how these family relationships can affect our marriages for good or bad. Jo opens by sharing some family matters found in the bible, the good, the bad and the ugly!
Like Marriage Matters, so does Family matter!
Tips and Resources
• Look out for, and watch, Skit Guys movie - Family Camp.
• Take some time, a year if you can, when you first get married to learn what God wants you to do to serve Him – together - now you’re a married couple.
• Pray – ask God about family relationships and how he wants you to handle them!
The Take Away
Andy notes how the bible tells us to do family very differently from how the world or even the church culture tells us.
Jo has noticed how important family is from Genesis to Revelation!

A pair of lovely goldfinches are busily building a nest just outside one of our windows. These are two ridiculously pretty little birds with perfectly defined bands of golden yellow and glorious red!
What a joy to see them beavering away looking as beautiful as God intended them to look, building their nest, with not a care in the world - even the wind we have today is blowing them all over the place, and yet they sit on a small branch, steady as a rock. What a reminder to be peaceful amongst the winds of life.
It reminds me of Matthew 6:26-34 (NLT)
Look at the birds. They don’t plant or harvest or store food in barns, for your heavenly Father feeds them. And aren’t you far more valuable to him than they are? Can all your worries add a single moment to your life?...and so much more heavenly wisdom

Listening to a spot of Magnum nice and loud after my usual, extremely pleasant, cycle to the coast - to blow away the cobwebs, and loosen my back muscles after several days glued to my computer compressing all of the 450 videos we've so far created for BerryBunch
Compression has finished. Uploading to our cloud storage is done. And I've started the longer process of adding them all to Vimeo for ad free viewing!
Done quite bit of editing to my next book too since I've had none of the usual video editing to do this week.
Time for a very late breakfast, since it's now 12:30 in the afternoon!

Hidden Workings and Perfumes that linger
This week I’ve started the process of using Vimeo to display all of the videos on our website.
I say ‘started’ because we have more than 450 videos to ‘process’ and each one needs a little work before it can be added to Vimeo.
Once a video is uploaded I then have to add a thumbnail image, add the subtitles and captions, and then click on a few other things to ensure it’s all good to go! I can then add that video to the relevant page or post on the website, delete the YouTube version of the exact same video, and move on to the next video to sort out.
And, now, we have a solution. [READ MORE]

Luke 25:4-6
While they were perplexed about this, behold, two men suddenly stood near them in dazzling clothing; and as the women were terrified and bowed their faces to the ground, the men said to them, “Why do you seek the living One among the dead? “He is not here, but He has risen.Remember how He spoke to you while He was still in Galilee ..."
Romans 6:5
For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection.

Alleluia! Christ died, was buried and rose again on the third day and also appeared to the witnesses He had chosen. Glory to God!
This is the power of the gospel.
Christ is not only dead and buried but he is also resurrected and now lives.
Jesus is the living one!
And His resurrection, one day, will also be our resurrection, because we are "in Christ".
What a wonderful certainty! What an infinite joy!
God bless you.
