Gratitude: The Superpower that brings Contentment…
There is a battle going on in our minds continually: between our ego and the will of God. It’s an ancient battle that saw the world fall into sin and away from God. It’s no wonder that we feel so discontent, anxious and worried about so many things. Following Jesus is the only path that… Continue reading

The Best Years of my Life?!—From Bullied to Beloved, to Confidence in God.
Some say that your school years are the best years of your life. I hated school and looking forward to leaving was a source of comfort, so these words did not give me much hope. Being bullied, may have ruined a big part of my younger years, but it doesn’t have to determine how life… Continue reading

You Shall Share and Share Alike—in His Reward
It’s a truism, isn’t it, that from our view point, others never seem to have it as hard as we do; we often struggle to see things from another’s perspective. King David’s axiom to share and share alike, still holds true… Continue reading

God’s Best at Your Worst
It’s funny how the Lord works through us when we least expect it and quite frankly momentarily would prefer not to be… He doesn’t need us to be at our ‘humanly’ best, He will use us now, in whatever condition we find ourselves in… Continue reading

Finding Our Way In the Dark
The future is a dark place, simply because we haven’t been there yet and it is revealed to us as we walk into it. Therefore, it is important for us to grasp that how ever much we might plan for the future, thankfully, we can only ever see what’s right in front of us and… Continue reading

A Change of Heart
Forgiveness is at the very heart of Christianity – beginning with Christ, as God forgave our sins through Him – but forgiveness is difficult, even for the Christian, as it is so counterintuitive to our old nature and the cultural norm. As Christians, our outward actions should always reflect the inner heart change that Jesus… Continue reading

In the Storm – Peace, Be Still
Are you ever accused of not having enough faith when life gets tough? Are you in the middle of a storm and long for calm. Do you long for peace in the midst of chaos? Jesus wants us to learn to trust Him and not be afraid, despite what may be happening in our lives!… Continue reading

Worshipping at the High Places
Worship can take many forms but the stipulation from Scripture is to worship in ‘Spirit and in Truth’. There is, however a danger of us committing idol worship. There can also be a tendency for us to add something to the simple worship of God. Let’s see what Manasseh, King of Israel did once he… Continue reading

Left To Our Own Devices?
During the Covid19 lockdown period many of us had a lot of time on our hands. I don’t know about you but I made many plans to catch up on all the things I complain I don’t usually have the time to do. It’s surprising how difficult it can sometimes be to motivate ourselves to… Continue reading

Who’s on the Throne?

Stewardship – Luke 16 (16/24)

Pride and Priorities – Luke 14 (14/24)
Today, we might think we are getting on well if we are able to hobnob with the best society has to offer: look how excited we get at photo opportunities and selfies with celebrities. We must put following Jesus at the top of our agendas… Continue reading

Valued and Provisioned – Luke 12 (12/24)
We are intrinsically valuable to God and He cares for all our needs. Since God cares so much for us we need not concern ourselves with how we might flourish. We may store up wealth, but in the end it cannot change the outcome of our lives. We must live as though Jesus could return… Continue reading

Go, But Stay Close – Luke 10 (10/24)
It is striking to me that Jesus sends out the 70 to go to places that He Himself would then go to Himself. It doesn’t seem that efficient, these guys could have been like ‘force multipliers’, reaching more than He Himself could have otherwise Continue reading

Who do you Say I Am? It’ll Cost You – Luke 9 (9/24)

What is True Religion? To Live Differently – Luke 6 (6/24)
Jesus teaches that in order to have true religion we must live a different way. To the religious Jews nothing is more sacrosanct than the Sabbath. They think they are pleasing God by forcibly enforcing the Sabbath laws upon the people, hanging a weight on them that even they struggle to keep. Jesus hits right… Continue reading
