Reflect on bite-sized Bible readings that provoke thought and deepen understanding.

This edition of Words of Life focuses on the third element of The Salvation Army's Global Strategic Framework – legacy – and explores through Scripture how different elements of life and discipleship provide such a heritage. The main writers, from the United Kingdom and Ireland, each add a different dimension of thought to enrich our journey of faith.

The Advent readings by Colonel Neil Webb, on the theme 'Fear to Faith', examine how the people of Israel – after some 400 years of hearing nothing from God – responded to the arrival of angels declaring the imminent birth of a Saviour, and the surprise and shock that such appearances created.

The weekend readings are again enhanced through the writings of Major Peter Mylechreest, as he reminds us of how God reveals himself to us through everyday things.
