Easter in October?

No, we're not trying to reignite the controversy over the date of Easter. But the majority of the age groups in Light are looking at the Easter story at the moment.

Why?

Well, quite simply, when Easter comes around each year and we meet on Sunday, we jump from Palm Sunday to Easter Sunday. We miss, or gloss over, some of the most important bits of the gospel message.

So, because we care deeply about such things, we thought we'd take a deeper look now. It has nothing to do with us getting our calendars mixed up.

Remember, Jesus is for life, not just Easter.

This dream is not about sex!

What If Pharaoh had asked Freud what the seven thin and fat cows meant? I’m sure the answer would have involved Pharaoh’s mother, childhood emotional trauma and sex. It may be over simplistic but Freud had a habit of reducing subconscious thought to those three areas.

Fortunately for Pharaoh, and us, Freud wasn’t around during the events of Genesis 41. This meant that Pharaoh’s dreams were interpreted by Joseph. These particular dreams had national implications. They signalled events that would be felt both locally and further afield. Therefore, Joseph turned to God to interpret the dreams and reveal the meaning.

Joseph trusted God and gave the meaning to Pharaoh.

LightLive is currently in the middle of the Joseph account in Genesis. This week, if you’re following the syllabus, Pharaoh’s dreams are the topic.

Let us pray that God will explain the meaning of these passages to us. Then, that we will pass the meaning on clearly to our groups.

Scheduled downtime

Our Internet servers are being moved to a new home in Slough. This is part of a planned move by our hosting company, who are migrating away from their present central London sites.

This means LightLive will be unavailable from around 1am to 6am on Sunday 14 June (GMT) while they're moving.

Normal service will be resumed as soon as possible
