You killed the author of Life
“You killed the author of life, but God raised him from the dead …God was fulfilling what all the prophets had foretold about the Messiah—that he must suffer these things. Now repent of your sins and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped away.” Acts 3:15, 18-19 In the beginning was nothing. And God spoke […]
Rend Collective – The Art of Celebration Review
Get your skinny jeans on and dust off your TOMS – Rend Collective are back, and this time safety glasses won’t be required as the Experiment is complete. And the results are good!

Kingdom: King
“’Get out of here, Satan,’ Jesus told him. ‘For the Scriptures say “You must worship the Lord your God; Serve only him.”’” Matthew 4:10 Let’s stick with Jesus’ temptation in the desert for some more thoughts.

To live is Christ Review
To live is Christ is a new book by Matt Chandler that works through the book of Philippians. Philippians is one of my personal favourites of Paul’s letters, and it is probably one of the most quoted books of the Bible, in particular Philippians 4:13 very frequently being used out of context. And with Matt Chandler […]
Repentance
“In those days John the Baptist came to the Judean wilderness and began preaching. His message was, “Repent of your sins and turn to God, for the Kingdom of Heaven is near.”” Matthew 3:1-2 Before Jesus comes into His ministry, John the Baptist comes first, preparing the way. He comes preaching a message that the Kingdom […]
Kingdom: Here and now
The Kingdom of God. That’s what happens when we die, right? That’s all about heaven, not about earth, right? Wrong! Something we need to get clear, right at the start of our look at the Kingdom is the fact that this isn’t mere speculation about some future possibility but is a discussion about a present […]
