Home Sweet Home...
loved the church and gave himself up for. In this same way, husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself.” (Ephesians 5:23-25; 28) Home is a little heaven on earth. It should be a place where the children learn their first lessons about God and His love. There is nothing on earth as important and sacred as family and home. A Christian father is the head and high priest of the family. He should lead them close to the throne of God. Each morning and evening both parents should gather their children and lift their voice and hearts towards God. The spirit of prophecy says that each morning parents should consecrate themselves and the family to God. By sincere, earnest prayer parents should make a hedge around their children. They should pray with full faith that God will abide with them and that holy angels will guard them and their children from Satan’s cruel powers.

recently happened to read an article in The Telegraph that told of a Christian group who predicted doomsday - the end of the world! A Christian leader believes the world would be engulfed and destroyed by a great fire on October 7th. Predicting the coming of Jesus and the end of the world has been there ever since Jesus went to heaven to do His priestly ministry. But Jesus has not given us the exact date or time but He gave us signs that will happen before His coming. Satan is destroying that which God has established for mankind and replacing with his own. He is deceiving the world with his institutions. One such attack of Satan’s is against marriage and the home. “I tell you, but rather division. For from now on in one house there will be five divided, three against two and two against three. They will
be divided, father against son and son against father, mother against daughter and daughter against mother, mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law against mother-in-law.” (Luke 12:51-53)
A part of man, bone of his bone and flesh of his flesh, she was his second self, showing the close union and the affectionate attachment that should exist in this relation. Ephesians 5:29 says “For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourishes and cherishes it”. In the beginning God gave mankind two important institutions. One is marriage (home) and the other is the Sabbath. Marriage is the institution that came to us perfect from God before the fall of man (Genesis 2:21-25). God ordained marriage before sin entered the world and ordained it to be a blessed, divine and perfect relationship on earth. God Himself gave Adam a companion. He provided “a help meet for him”, a helper corresponding to him. One who was fitted to be his companion and who could be one with him in love and sympathy. Eve was created from a rib taken from the side of Adam, signifying that she was not to control him as the head, nor to be trampled under his feet as an inferior, but to stand by his side as an equal, to be loved and protected by him.

May we guard ourselves and our families from the attack of the enemy. The only place to keep our marriage, children and family home safe is under the wings of the Lord. Daily commitment to the Lord is a must. It’s our duty and commission to save our families for God.
The first marriage performed by God is found in Genesis 2:24 “Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one.” God celebrated this first marriage. Today we find marriage is a failure with people. It is not the fault of the Giver or the institution but with those who have walked into it without commitment and don’t understand the divine blessing and the purpose for what it was given. Satan has attacked marriage from the beginning and he will continue to till the end. Scripture compares marriage to the Church. “For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, his body, of which he is the Savior. Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit to their husbands in everything. Husbands love your wives, just as Christ 3
Sanctification Journey - Part 4
NEWS from Harlestone Road Baby Dedication... On the 5th Sept 2015, the church witnessed and welcomed the dedication of Samuel Fosu Buabeng. Parents Evans and Gladys and big brother Michael were supported by the church members and the extended family that came from near and far. May the Lord continue to bless the whole family as they journey on. Proverbs 22:6 Train up a child in the way he should go, even when he is old he will not depart from it.
Focus on Sanctification
By Sheryl Lawrence
P
aul encouraged Timothy in 1 Timothy 4:7-8 to, “Exercise thyself rather unto godliness. For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.� In other words, there is eternal value to the training we do in godliness: Every time we choose to feed our hearts by the Word of God and heavenly meditation rather than pursue worldly pleasures, even if lawful and not corrupt, we are expanding our capacity for heavenly joy. Every temptation crushed by the power of the Spirit will enlarge our capacity for heavenly joy. Every time we sacrificially give to the needy or courageously witness for Christ, we are increasing our capacity for heavenly joy.
How then can we be proactive and intentional in seeking to grow in Christ and become spiritually mature? It helps to know that our spiritual growth follows this pattern: growing knowledge increases faith; increasing faith transforms character; transformed character produces action; and action feeds knowledge. Let us, therefore, be conscious of our growth in knowledge, faith, character and actions. Grow knowledge by saturating our minds in the Bible, by our own reading or listening to sermons or reading good Christian books and experientially by putting ourselves in situations where we are trusting God more and more. Grow faith by continually taking in Scripture and a rich stream of experiences of joy and suffering. Both of these, under the powerful influence of the Holy Spirit, will cause faith to grow mighty in our hearts. Grow character by having the faith that makes the invisible Jesus become powerfully real and active in our hearts. His presence enables us to become more and more like God. Grow actions as the character matures and becomes more capable of producing good fruit.

Friday Night Outreach with David Wells
I
t’s been a year now since Gyles and I decided to take to the streets of Northampton to try and help, in whatever way we can, the homeless and needy of this town. This idea was born out of the Week of Prayer focus, which highlighted Christ’s method of reaching people by meeting their needs because of the compassion and genuine love He had for them So armed with some water and biscuits, we clearly weren’t truly prepared for what lay in store for us. From the very first person we came into contact with, we knew this is work that God has called us to do. Since then we have met some truly amazing and inspirational people. Male and female. Young and old. Some only
recently made homeless, others who have had to make the streets their home for many years! The team has since grown and now the core of Gyles, Angela, Moses and I take to the streets each Friday night. On occasion we have been blessed to be joined by the likes of Lloyd, James, Gabby, Reiss, Aubrey, Rachael and Kurt. Even Lloyd’s mum joined us one week. All have been touched by what they have witnessed. The focus of the Team has been to meet people who are suffering on the streets of Northampton and bring some calm to their situation, to make them feel human again in a world where they are often slighted, or worse-forgotten. We try to
help them realise that someone cares and in doing so spread the love of Jesus to those who need it while in a desperate situation. I would estimate we have met at least 40 different people in this short time and each occasion we go out we are truly blessed by the people we meet and the relationships that have been formed.
for Northampton’s Foodbank ‘Re:Store’ (every Monday at Highlands Avenue Church between 12-2pm). Very soon we also will be able to use Harlestone Road as another distribution point, which will open up even more opportunities.
‘For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink’
Matthew 25:35
There is a real community spirit out there. A longing to look after one another. A humbling gratitude for the help we try to provide. It’s not so much about the food anymore….although apparently Gyles’s cheese sarnies are legendary! Instead they yearn for the time that we spend with them in conversation and in prayer. We can only hope and pray that they can see the love of Christ through us and know that He can bless them as richly as He has blessed us.
We welcome all who are able to help and contribute to these projects in order to help further the work of spreading the Gospel and there are many ways to help, whether donating, coming out to meet and spend time with the homeless, manning the distribution centres, making up parcels or simply praying for the cause. For more information speak to one of the team or visit these websites: 1. www.restorenorthampton.org.uk/ 2. www.northamptonhopecentre.org.uk/ 3. www.restorenorthampton.org.uk/ northampton-food-bank.html 4. www.gofundme.com/4cb3h2ens
Not only has God protected us each Friday 5. http://northampton.adventistchurch. org.uk/outreach night but He has opened many more doors. We have been able to support the local Homeless Outreach team (see Darius’s story on page 13) and now we have opened our very own Distribution Point 6

He healed the broken hearted By Natasha Barnes
A
t the age of 18 I moved to London and a few years later was in a long term relationship. However we broke up after 7 years and I was left completely broken hearted. My ex-partner and I had one child together and I was left to bring him up by myself, so I ended up moving back to Northampton to be closer to family.
I wasn’t imagining it. This was the voice of God, but instead of listening I started to talk back and stubbornly tried to give God reasons why I couldn’t go downstairs! It was cold, my bible was all the way downstairs and there won’t be anything for me to read in the bible that will help me! So I pulled the covers over again and tried to sleep.
I began attending church at Potters House on a Sunday. One day I was speaking to the pastor’s wife and she asked me about my son’s father and I told her that we had separated and I had moved back to Northampton. Whilst talking to her I started to get emotional and burst into tears. I thought I was over the relationship but I clearly wasn’t. I was putting on a brave face as you do when deep down you are hurting. She took me aside and prayed for me and said I was to go home and pray and ask God for healing. So I did and for a few weeks continued to do so.
Getting louder, God’s voice again spoke to me and said clearly ‘go downstairs and get your bible read Psalms 17 and Psalms 37!’ This time I got up as I knew now God was not giving up on me and I stopped rebelling and did as he asked, even though I still thought it was a waste of time. I found the bible texts God had given me and the minute I started to read and take in these scriptures I was in tears. Everything I needed to hear to rebuild my confidence, my strength and my character and most importantly my faith in Jesus was in those scripture readings. God had truly opened my eyes to what he wanted me to see and hear.
One night I woke around 2am from a dream I had about being in an ocean, on a boat with only water to see for miles. I didn’t know what the dream meant at the time until later on. I tried to go back to sleep and may have done for around 10 mins but I awoke to a voice telling me to go downstairs and get my bible! Now I was tired and thought I was imagining it so I ignored it, as the last thing I wanted to do was get out of my comfy warm bed. So I tried to go back to sleep again. I was tossing and turning and still not sleeping! I again heard a still small voice saying ‘go and get your bible’. This time I sat up in bed and realised 8
From that moment I was healed from all the hurt and pain I was feeling and I finally let go of the past and moved on and my spiritual walk with God became stronger. God gave me the wisdom to interpret the dream I had. Being on a boat in the middle of the ocean represented casting all my problems to God and to let him guide me and I’m so glad I listened because I wouldn’t be the person I am today. When you hear God’s voice calling you in the still of the night, don’t ignore it! God is reaching out to you for a reason.

When the kids leave home! By Aubrey Davis
.........................................................................................
T
his is a day when some will rejoice, some will mourn and for some it will be the beginning of endless sleepless nights of worry. On the 13th August this year A-Level results were handed out. For many young people across the country the outcome would have signalled the start of a huge transition in life, possibly leading to a University place and the likely flight from the safety nest of home life. Clearly going to University is not the only reason why a young person would leave home, but this is probably the most common for the late teens these days. Whatever the reason, the common thread is that of physical separation and loss of control. When I left home to study for the first time I found it a really exciting experience, but missed my family greatly for the first couple of weeks; especially my parents. My daughter Serena is less than two years away from this stage in life, but it certainly has not stopped me from thinking now what challenges she faces when that day arrives! Let’s find out some of the experiences from others who have trodden and are treading this path... 10
Parents: Bro Ronald and Sis Angela Imbayago How did you feel when Tawanda left home for the first time? Ronald: We felt, um, empty and lonely and we really missed Tawanda each and every day. Angela: I did feel happy that he was going to study but I was sad because the house is now empty and quiet without Tawanda. What are the most positive things about your children leaving home? Ronald: Yeah, the positives for me are they start their own lives and now they learn to live by themselves and they take a lot of responsibility. Over the years they have been under our control and guidance. Now they
are living on their own, they have to take a lot of responsibility for themselves and their social and spiritual lives.
don’t get up it’s your fault. Also, um, cooking was definitely the biggest challenge! I ended up learning very quickly!
Angela: Um, not many positives as we are home alone now, but it’s positive he’s having the chance to be an adult.
What has been the best thing about moving away from home and entering university?
Tyler: I think the best thing would be What are some of your concerns now your meeting new friends and joining new Uni. children have left home? societies such as American Football, which is a completely new thing for me, but I was Ronald: As a parent you always want to know able to mingle with new people and also go to if my children are going to stick to what places I really enjoy and play at a competitive you have taught them from an early age, but level and also just we always hope that God will guide them. the freedom really, It’s always a worry because of these other yeah, the freedom. influences like friends they are going to meet who might have some impact on their lives. Calvin: Um, when Angela: My main concern for my children going to university is will they still remember that God is their the best part I would God; that they will not fall into the wrong say is independence. company who will lead them away from God. You can do what So I pray he will be able to get to church and you want. Also meeting and being able to he will be able to continue praying. like mingle with friends and also get together with people and like just doing stuff together.
Students: Tyler and Calvin What has been the hardest thing about leaving home and going to university?
Tyler: I think the hardest thing is the new found responsibility that you have to look after yourself and make sure you have enough food for the week. Calvin: The biggest challenge for me definitely was being responsible for myself and having to cook and clean and look after myself. Things like waking up and there’s no alarm and if you
What I conclude therefore is that the challenges are as strong as ever for both parents and child and only with God’s help and fervent prayer will we keep on the road that leads to home!
Prayers Prayer for the parent: Proverbs 2:6 Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it. Prayer for the student: Proverbs 3:5-6 Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not onto your own understanding, in all thy ways acknowledge him and he will direct your path. Let us continue to pray for both our students and their parents! 11
Darius’s Story The Homeless Outreach Team As mentioned earlier, our Church now supports the local Homeless Outreach team, run by Northampton Borough council and based at Oasis House.
World Sabbath Day 2015 On Sabbath of 29th August 2015, we hosted our 2nd World Sabbath Day. Sister Jasmine and her team of Rachael, Angela and Beti again did a fantastic job in putting together a wonderful, colourful programme where many of our youth were heavily involved. The morning and afternoon programmes were bridged by a delicious world lunch, where many different types of food from all over the world were served. We are so blessed to have such great cultural diversity in our church, but blessed even more to have a unity in that diversity. We are already looking forward to World Sabbath Day 2016!
This partnership came about on the back of the Friday night outreach as we wanted to seek the experts help. We then found out that their government funding has been withdrawn and so they are in no position to assist some of the financial needs of the people they meet. These needs can range from a few pounds for busfare, so that someone can get to an interview, to replacing a lost/stolen passport. We have already helped 2 young Latvian men get back on the ladder, which now brings us to Darius. Here is his story, as given to us by Trudy from the Outreach team: Darius is Polish and arrived in the UK in February 2014. He began working in March 2014 and was working until August when he broke his leg. He could have claimed benefits because he had been working but was unaware he was able to, so he had no income and managed by using The Hope Centre, where he was able to get food and use of the showers. He started working again for an agency and was housed in the No Second Night Out project. The work ended in May but he was unaware that he could have claimed Housing Benefit and panicked and left the accommodation and went to sleep rough in St Edmunds Hospital.
However there was no way for him to retrieve it, so he is currently unable to work because he has no current valid ID, only a photocopy. We have established he is able to claim Job Seekers Allowance for three months, but because of the new rules he is unable to claim Housing Benefit. We have accommodation that he can move into but because of the job seekers allowance, he will be unable to pay the rent.
He is currently doing work on a voluntary basis in the Hope Centre and is working in the kitchen, but also helping clear out the old Hope Centre store ready for Harvest Festival donations. He had been offered work but due to having no ID was unable to start. Companies can face an ÂŁ8000 fine if they employ someone without the correct ID. He had an appointment on 1st October 2015 at the Polish Embassy to get a passport (funded by the donations from Harlestone Road Church) and so now he will be able to start work and find appropriate accommodation. With the generosity and support of your Church group we have successfully helped two other clients who were in similar situations, both of whom are now in employment, so we thank you whole heartedly for your help.
In February Darius lost his ID and it was allegedly found by the Police on the Market Square and returned to the Polish Embassy. 12

The Weekly Prayer Meeting By David Wells
E
ven though I grew up in the Adventist church, I knew very little about the weekly prayer meeting. Occasionally it was held at my parents’ home in Pontypool and attendance would be about 40-50% of the church. Ok it was only a small church, but still, attendance was probably better than the national average!
does. What has struck me though is that at no point since my return has anyone encouraged me to attend these gatherings. Initially I wondered why, but then I discovered that most of the members (of both churches it must be added) don’t attend either. Ellen G White says in Pastoral Ministry Chap 32: ‘The Church must pray often’. ‘A Prayer meeting will always tell the true interest of the church members in spiritual and eternal things’. ‘Members should give prayer meetings a higher priority’. However she also adds in the same chapter:
The meetings would consist of some singing (which usually made me wonder what the neighbours were thinking?!?!?), some form of Bible based discussion and then prayer. I was never part of these meeting’s though and from what I can remember neither were any of my other 5 siblings! We were all tucked away in our bedrooms. Out of sight…..
‘If people find the Bread of Life at the prayer meeting, they will go there to receive it’. ‘Prayer meetings need not be dull, spiritless and unattractive’.
So we have 3 potential issues here. 1 – We are brought up to believe that prayer meetings are not important or relevant to us. Let’s now fast forward 20+ years to the 2 – Prayer meetings are not interesting time where I eventually make the decision enough. to return to church. I know Harlestone 3 – We just don’t care enough. We want Road don’t hold weekly prayer meetings at revival but are not willing to go out of our present, but the Highlands Avenue church way to support the church. 14
I recently decided to go along to one of Are corporate prayer meetings the answer these meetings at Highlands Avenue to get anyway? With the increasing demands my own perspective. put on us by work, maybe smaller homegroups would be more relevant? Or are The meeting was advertised to begin at there any other ideas or alternatives? I 7pm, yet 7pm came and went and no sign spoke with one of the Elders at Highlands of anyone. (not a good start!) Lights were Avenue who said they have tried a range off, doors were closed. It was 7.20pm of formats to make the meetings more before anyone turned up and we were able appealing. Sadly attendance has not to begin our meeting soon after. improved as a result. There were 11 in attendance and all were seated in different areas throughout the sanctuary. We began with some hymns and a prayer before we got into the topic of ‘Priorities’. An interesting enough discussion ensued before we ended with prayer requests and then we came together in pairs to pray. Even though I expected the meeting to be more ‘prayer’ based, I still came away spiritually refreshed. At the same time I couldn’t help but wonder what could be done to attract more members to these gatherings.
Church - are we missing out by not being part of an institution that has been a huge part of not only the early church, but also of the Reformation and all revivals that have taken place since? If we want revival in our church, maybe we are missing one of the key ingredients that could eventually lift this church out of its sleep. If anyone has any ideas regarding Prayer meetings, so that revival can take place in our church, please speak to one of the elders or our Pastor. They would love to hear from you.
If My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land. Now My eyes will be open and My ears attentive to prayer made in this place. ........................................................ 2 Chronicles 7:14-15

Witnessing with Craig Gooden
I
n the last Issue of our newsletter, Craig touched upon the subject of witnessing. So he wanted to also share something that has helped him to start conversations with people. He uses an acronym called TOPICS. It allows him to ask a few questions in the hope of starting a conversation. The acronym stands for these questions:
T
O
P
C urrent events – Here I would simply talk about what’s happening in the world today.
S
16
V
ccupation – “What type of work do you do?” or “Do you work around here?” Of course depending on where you are determines how you would ask.
I nterests – “Do you have any hobbies?” or “What type of sports are you interested in?” This type of question will give you answers to see if the church can provide an arena for the person to fellowship with you.
hare my testimony – In this section I would simply explain my personal testimony and ask if they would like to keep in touch. Sharing your personal testimony can be broken down into three easy steps:
Prayer as a response to God’s glory ery few of us have been taught to pray in worship. We listen to others and simply copy what they say. However, a good example of an intercessory prayer is found in Daniel 9. You may need to first read it before continuing reading what follows. He begins in verse 4 with adoration and praise, speaking to God of His glory and attributes. He continues doing so in verses 7, 9, and 14. He calls God righteous, merciful and forgiving.
oday – “How are you doing today” or “It’s a nice day today” etc.
lace – “Do you visit this place often?” or “Have you lived around here for long?”
Public Prayer 101 - How do we pray?
1. My life before I met Christ 2. How I met Christ and 3. My life after I met Christ. Paul uses this method in Acts 26. Also something like sharing a GLOW tract can be helpful in leaving the person with something to read. If you’re interested in GLOW tracts email glowuk@glowonline.org.
This is a good way to begin an intercessory prayer. Since our vision of the Holy One, the King of the universe, is full of God’s majesty, our prayers should reflect our awe, our amazement as to who He is. We love Him for it. This is adoration, telling Him how much we love Him. In our prayers, we recite how wonderful and marvellous God is. It fixes our attention squarely on the majesty of God. Praise is another way of offering thanks. In our prayers, we recite what God has done for us and we thank Him. This is what Daniel does in verses 9 and 15, stating how God brought Israel out of Egypt. Recognition of our sinfulness is very important. In verses 5, 8, and 10, Daniel confesses his and Israel’s sin, ‘We have sinned and done wrong’. Daniel includes himself among the sinners, even though he is faithful to God. So, in corporate prayers, we use ‘we’ not ‘I’. We reserve ‘I’ for our personal prayers. Verse 19 identifies another key area of the intercessory prayer; namely, repentance and seeking forgiveness. He says, ‘Lord, listen! Lord, forgive! Lord, hear and act!’ Finally, (verses
10 and 17) he intercedes, supplicating God on behalf of the people. He asks God to turn His anger away from them and to hear his prayer on behalf of the people. Another example is that of the Lord’s Prayer. Look for the same components. From the example above, the components for an intercessory prayer could be: Adoration, Praise/ Thanksgiving, Confession, Repentance, and Intercession/Supplication. These components may be used as a guide to prevent rambling, repetition, sermonizing and unending prayers. The prayer may be structured along these components: 1. Adoration –God, you are wonderful! 2. Praise/Thanksgiving –We praise You for your marvellous love/deeds/provisions, etc. 3. Confession –we are sinful, undeserving. 4. Repentance –We are sorry for our rebellion and the grief it causes. 5. Intercession –Please forgive us. Give us Your mercy, heal us, restore us. 6. Commitment –May Your Spirit draw us to You so that we experience You in our lives. It does not have to be long. Keep it simple. You have caught a vision of God’s glory and you are speaking to Him. Your prayer is a crucial aspect of the worship the body of Christ offers to Him. Offer it as worship. 17
Welcome to Children’s Sabbath School By Nadine Fuller
“It is a solemn thought that by the time a child is 7 years old, values (good or bad) have already been laid down that will forever shape the moral structure of their life.” Child Guidance p193
Some thoughts about Sabbath school from the Kindergarten, Primary & Earlieteens class:
So what does this have to do with your child’s weekly attendance at Sabbath school? Counsels on Sabbath School Work p10&11 tells us:
‘I know that Jesus heals the sick and can raise the dead’ Bianca aged 5
“The Sabbath school should be one of the greatest instrumentalities and the most effectual in bringing souls to Christ because:
1
It gives to young and old a knowledge of God’s word.
It awakens in them a love for its sacred 2 truths and a desire to study for themselves
3
Above all, it teaches them to regulate their lives by its holy teachings.”
‘I like learning about Jesus’ Mune age 8 ‘I like doing colouring and activities’ Bella aged 9 ‘I like doing the play about the 10 virgins’ Jesse aged 5
‘I like aunty Donia, she’s pretty and lovely’ Tendekai aged 10
* Nadine – Kindergarten * Rachael and Donia – Juniors * Angela and Gyles – Youth * James – Older Youth
‘Gyles explains things in simple terms’ Jodene aged 13 ‘I like singing’ Ayana aged 4 ‘I like learning to do things you are supposed to do’ Ida aged 5 ‘I like praying’ Jeremiah aged 5 ‘I like doing plays’ Okello aged 8
As Sabbath school teachers we recognise that we are role-models for your children, not only in the lesson studies we present but also through our conduct.
As the Children’s Sabbath School department, we encourage you to set an example for your children and take up the challenge in surrendering your life to God, to be the example He called you to be, in the life of your child. In doing so, ask yourself: ‘Is the child under your care learning how to surrender their hearts to Jesus? To overcome sin through His power and to have a life of victory?

In each of the children we teach from week to week is a potential leader, teacher or parent who will in turn labour for the glory of God or for the enemy of the souls.
