Yesterday, at CBC, we were continuing our series in 1 Samuel, and from chapter 12 we asked ourselves what it means to 'fear the Lord' (e.g. verse 14) - and how this fits into our understanding of faith and church. And so we asked ourselves, how do we understand this phrase, that is so common throughout the Old Testament, in the light of the cross? Or what about verses like 1 John 4:18 that seem to set up fear and love as being mutually exclusive.
Here are a couple of videos that explore this theme a little more.

Harvest
Last Sunday we celebrated Harvest at CBC. Thanking God for his provision and goodness as well as taking the opportunity to remember that God expects us to be generous with what he has so generously given us. We had a collection of food for Cambridge City Foodbank.
This short video gives you a brief idea of the work of the Trussell Trust and Foodbanks up and down this country.
As well as looking locally, we also watched the following video about the work that BMS World Mission are doing in Thailand.

Proverbs on Wealth
This morning at CBC we're finishing off our mini-series in Proverbs by looking at what that book has to say on the subject of Wealth. Here are some of the resources that I mentioned or referred to.
I mentioned the great introductory videos from The Bible Project, giving an overveiw of Job, Proverbs and Ecclesiastes. You'll find those videos by clicking here.
On Sunday I referred to a number of verses from Proverbs, but some of these verses only appeared on the screen. Here is a list of all the verses referred to, in the order they were used:
10:22
3:9
3:14
18:10-11
23:4-5
11:4
15:16
16:8
14:31
22:2
31:8-9
23:6-7
11:24-25
As a part of my preparation, I put together the following list of verses in Proverbs that are linked to the topic of wealth, as well as giving an indication of how that verse links to the topic. Some verses, for example, mention that there are other things that are better than wealth, or the importance of being generous and not stingy with what we have...
Obviously, this image is slightly challenging to read, so you can download either a pdf copy or Numbers spreadsheet using the links below.
You may not necessarily agree with all my categories - and there may be verses that I have not included - I don't claim that this is an authoritative list, but you may find it helpful if you want to explore the subject further. I certainly found it helpful putting it together.

We mentioned some statistics regarding world poverty, whilst recognising that stats don't paint the full picture and often over simplify complicated situations. I didn't use the following video but you might find it interesting.
Here is one more video - this is the TED talk that looks at the question - does money make you mean?
