INTRODUCTION
This importance of the 'ordinary' is an important biblical insight. In the Old Testament this can be seen with such people as Amos - to whom God spoke through the actions of a swarm of locusts (Amos 7:1-3), a man on a building site (Amos 7:7-9), and a basket of summer fruit (Amos 8: 1-3). In the New Testament Jesus is shown to be constantly seeing the truths of God revealed in ordinary things, like the action of a sower, a fisherman, or a shepherd. |
All exercises in this section seek to affirm the importance of the ‘ordinary' - either by offering something which people can take out into their lives and use; or by offering an opportunity to sharpen their awareness of how God speaks through ordinary, everyday events.
