Regular Columns

Destructive dominion

For many years I’ve run a lunchtime weekly Bible study in my workplace. Even though at times it’s felt a challenge to squeeze it in between all the other work meetings, it has been a blessing to meet regularly (at least by videocall) with other Christians who also work in my organisation.

We’ve been working our way through Luke’s Gospel and we recently came to Luke 12: 6-7: ‘Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies? Yet not one of them is forgotten by God. Indeed, the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Don’t be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.’ Jesus makes a similar point a few verses later about ravens.
