“The Lord took hold of me, and I was carried away by the Spirit of the Lord to a valley filled with bones….So I spoke the message as he commanded me, and breath came into their bodies. They all came to life and stood up on their feet—a great army.” (Ezekiel 37 v1, 10) There’s a […]

Overcoming Troubles
Imagine you are an ant, moving across a lawn, when suddenly you come across a rock. To the ant that rock is a pretty big obstacle that will block its movement and prevent it from going forward without changing direction. Now imagine you are a bird flying over the same lawn, looking down at the […]
One Body
A theme that comes across a few times in the New Testament in the letters of Paul is that, as Christians, we are one body, the body of Christ. For example, it comes up in Colossians 3v15, Romans 12, 1st Corinthians 10v17 and Ephesians 4v4-6. You will probably be familiar with this passage from 1st Corinthians 12 (emphasis added) : […]
Nailed to the Cross
“Those who belong to Christ Jesus have nailed the passions and desires of their sinful nature to his cross and crucified them there.” Galatians 5v24 At Good Friday we traditionally reflect on the cross and the suffering Jesus underwent on it for us. On the cross he was “pierced for our transgressions” (Isaiah 53v5 TNIV) He has […]
The Greatest day in history
“The women were terrified and bowed with their faces to the ground. Then the men asked, “Why are you looking among the dead for someone who is alive? He isn’t here! He is risen from the dead! Remember what he told you back in Galilee, that the Son of Man must be betrayed into the […]
Spread the love

Make the most of Now
It is said you can’t come close to God and not be changed. The way I look at it is like radiation heat transfer in Physics. As an object gets closer to a heat source it’ll absorb more heat. As we try to climb the mountain of the Lord(Psalm 24) we will get closer to His […]

What can we learn from the early Church?
Acts 2 v 44-47 is a description of the actions of the church right back in the earliest days, just after Pentecost: And all the believers met together in one place and shared everything they had. They sold their property and possessions and shared the money with those in need. They worshiped together at the Temple […]
Smile – spread the joy
“Always be full of joy in the Lord. I say it again—rejoice!” Philippians 4v4 How’s that for a command? Be full of joy in the Lord. Not just when we feel good, or when we can see Him working in our lives, or when things are going our way, but always. He has done so much […]
