S03E001, The Lord’s Prayer, Family Prayer Time

https://vimeo.com/766625478

JoJo and Peter are back with a new series of Family Prayer Time and continue to encourage us, as always to pray as a family. In this new series, Jo and Peter are utilising the prayers found in the bible and what better way to start than with the Lord’s Prayer.

The Lord’s Prayer is taken from the book of Matthew in the bible and has been repeated word for word many times in Churches and homes across the globe for many years as a prayer, adding Amen.

JoJo encourages us to create our own prayers based on the Lord’s Prayer, noting that when Jesus was teaching his disciples how to pray, he said to pray like this, sharing his Prayer as a template.

6 tubs of carrot and ginger soup, ready for the freezer.

Total cost was about £4, plus the cooking time for two slow cookers.

Each tub will feed all five of us 😊

S05E034, Watching and Actively Waiting, Andy B 2 Minute Video

https://vimeo.com/765800876

Jesus will return one day. It states it in the clearest of terms at the end of the bible, but also all the way through the bible too. Jesus IS coming back, and there WILL be a judgment made of those who are going to heaven, and those who are going to hell. This may not be popular teaching, but it is true none the less.

But, how should we wait for His return?

Well, firstly, we have to realise that we can never know when Jesus is coming back. If anybody ever tells you’ve they’ve worked it out, they’re lying to you and themselves. Plain and simple – not even Jesus knew the time when He would return, so no human being can ever know!

Witnessing a conversation between some Christian bloggers I was saddened to see unpleasantness erupt around “works and salvation”. These religious words are usually used when one states that we can not [READ MORE]

S05E032, Weaker by the turn… Andy B 2 Minute Video

https://vimeo.com/765796702

Our sensor bin gets used often and, as it gets used, the batteries eventually get tired and give up their efforts. We put in hew batteries, or freshly recharged batteries, and it becomes all spritely once more.

Are you struggling with feeling tired all the time? You’re serving God but never feel the benefit of His refreshing and recharging?

Then it’s quite possible you’re doing something either in your own strength or against God’s will for your life. Either way leaves you feeling tired, worn down and fed up.

God ALWAYS equips us for the work He asks us to carry out. He will never trick us into doing something and leave us fending for ourselves – that simply isn’t in God’s nature.

So, if you’re tired and run down go back to God and ask Him what His plans are for your life.

Just a thought...

S05E031, Springs, Bins and Sensors, Andy B 2 Minute Video

https://vimeo.com/765794362

In our home we bought, quite a while ago, a battery operated sensor bin. Put simply, you wave your hand in front of the sensor, and the in lid opens for you. And, we love it!

Some friends had one and, once we’d used their sensor bin, we knew we wanted one too. However, as is often the way, the engineering to keep it at a lower price, was not as good as the idea.

Eventually, our bin broke. It was trying but no amount of fresh batteries could make it work again. It needed something more than a bit more energy and oomph!

I didn’t think there was anything unrepairable inside as we could hear the motor turning strongly, and the lid was opening a little bit. So I took it apart and, after a little bit of effort -over a couple of days (to allow superglue to dry properly) - it was working again. Albeit better than ever! [READ MORE]

S05E030, Halloween – Good or Bad?!? Andy B 2 Minute Video

https://vimeo.com/765762808

Halloween – is it a good thing or a bad thing to celebrate Halloween?

I’ve heard both sides of the argument!

I’ve listened to church ministers of the gospel who say we should celebrate it, because it is nothing to fear since we are Christians; putting on a Halloween celebration is good for the church to do as it shows how churches are still relevant for a modern world.

I’ve listened to church ministers of the gospel who say we should never celebrate it, because to do so is invite evil into our churches and into our lives.

So what do I think? What is the position of the BerryBunch.family Ministry – that reaches out to families all around the world?

Well, to be honest, we couldn’t do better than Canon J John, who wrote an article we also published – in full, with permission – on our own website. So, go read his article. It’s typically, [READ MORE]

I read this yesterday and thought it was utterly brilliant, and superbly penned - so I'm posting it here in full, with permission from Philo Trust and Canon J John.

If you're on the fence, or if you're not, about whether you should be celebrating Halloween, or even what our response should be, I'd like to commend this article to you.

S05E027, Swimming Pool Trinity, Part 1 of 3, Andy B 2 Minute Video

https://vimeo.com/763350824

It’s hard to explain the Trinity. For a start it isn’t something you’ll find in your bibles. But the members of The Trinity are very obviously there: it is, at its heart, our human way of seeking to explain the relationship between God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit.

I’ve heard that relationship explained using water as having 3 separate states (gas, liquid, solid), yet still all still being water at their core even if they do look a bit different. I’ve also heard it as a yoghurt being made up of three parts, although that attempt at explaining The Trinity never made much sense to me if I’m honest. [READ MORE]

S02E005, Stubborn as a Mule, Story Time with Dave the Dog

https://vimeo.com/758050132

Balaam was a man who had a pretty smart donkey. His donkey, actually, was smart enough to even try and save his owner - Balaam - from a few potential disasters, which Balaam did not appreciate!

Here we have Dave the Dog, and Jo, helping us understand the story a little better. You can read the rest of the story in Numbers 22:21-39.
