So it’s a few days after Valentines Day, but remember: God’s love is for every day, not just Valentines! The Bible gives us a pretty class definition of what love is in 1st Corinthians 13:4-7: “Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is […]

Get Moving
In Exodus 14, after the exodus from Egypt we find the Israelites trapped between the approaching army of Pharaoh and the Red Sea. And the people cry out to God for help. Now obviously we all know what happens next (God splits the sea and the Israelites cross to safety), but before that God has a […]
Casting Crowns Devotions
All this wekk on the Casting Crowns website frontman Mark Hall is posting up a fresh devotional video to challenge you through the week to come closer to God, cast away distractions and fil your mind with holy influences. I thought I’d share the first one with you seen as it is pretty good – […]
Through the fire – 1st Corinthians 3:13-15
“But on the judgment day, fire will reveal what kind of work each builder has done. The fire will show if a person’s work has any value. If the work survives, that builder will receive a reward. But if the work is burned up, the builder will suffer great loss. The builder will be saved, […]
1st Corinthians 2
In this study we are going to be looking at all of 1st Corinthians Chapter 2, so unless you are a bit of a Bible machine and know it off by heart you might find it helpful to have a quick read over it first so you are familiar with what it is about. Reading […]

Instead, God chose things the world considers foolish in order to shame those who think they are wise. And he chose things that are powerless to shame those who are powerful.” […]
1st Corinthians Series – Part 1
Over the next few months we hope to have an ongoing series of articles looking at the book of 1st Corinthians in a bit of detail, and as something slightly different to the norm these articles will have reflection questions at the end of them for you to think about. [NB – we will also […]
Words of Life
In Matthew 12:36-37 Jesus tells us: “And I tell you this, you must give an account on judgment day for every idle word you speak. The words you say will either acquit you or condemn you.” And it got me thinking. Do my words honour God? Will they acquit or condemn me? If we thought about […]
Slow Fade
Something slightly different to normal. I want you to watch a video before continuing with this devotion. It’s a drama to a song Everything by Lifehouse. One of the things that strikes me about that video is that every time the girl is tempted, every time she is led astray by her friends, Jesus is […]
Where would Jesus Be?
A few years ago it used to be fashionable to wear those ‘What would Jesus do?’ bracelets. But maybe the question we need to ask ourselves more these days is not what He would do, but where He would be doing it. Because as Christians we have a tendency to form our little ‘holy-huddles’, seeking […]
