Weekly resources to enrich worship and learning – wherever you are

Preparing for 29 June – 5 July 2025

1 Kings 19.15-16,19-21; Psalm 16; Galatians 5.1,13-25; Luke 9.51-62RCL Proper 8 Year C

Free to be kind

Christ has set us free and we should not go back to our old enslaved ways. However, this is not a freedom to do anything we want – instead, we should imitate Christ in becoming slaves to one another and loving our neighbours as ourselves. Paul encourages believers to live by the Spirit, rather than the flesh, and to cultivate the good fruit that the Spirit gives.

This week, we explore the freedom we have been given in Christ to serve others and show kindness to all we meet.
