So many Christians are trying to improve their relationship with God by working as hard as they can. Instead Paul tells us of how we can have peace with God, access to the Father, live as his children and be filled with his Spirit. (Romans 4 & 5)

Cyril Guerette: A Quiet Life (1 Thess 4:9-12)
We can easily feel a pressure to make a name for ourselves, or accomplish great things and gain glory. These verses release us from the pressure, calling us to trust God to make our lives count for him as we quietly love one another. (1 Thess 4:9-12)

David Campbell: Religion or relationship? (Phil 3:1-11)
The Christian life is not about religious practices, it’s about knowing Christ. Knowing him partly now is the guarantee of knowing him fully later. (Phil 3:1-11)

David Campbell: Live Worthy of the Gospel (Phil 1:27-2:4)
Let your pride, your selfish ambition and your empty glory go—all it does is diminish you as a person. The amazing thing about humility is that when we take the yoke of the humble Saviour on us, it doesn’t diminish us at all. We give up what we can’t keep to gain what we can’t lose (Phil 1:27-2:4)

Cyril Guerette: Resurrection Rebirth (Rom 6:4) Christ is living in us
We should mourn death (Winter), guard and cultivate the new life (Spring), and spread this new life (Summer) letting it shine out into this world — Christ in Me, the Hope of Glory! (Rom 6:4)
