Grown Up Christmas List – 2009 Revised edition
It’s now just a few hours til Christmas, and by now you should have all the shopping done, the food ready to cook, everything wrapped and positioned under the tree. And looking outside (at least if you are in the UK, I can’t vouch for weather elsewhere) it may even be looking like the scene […]
Born to die
“But he was wounded and crushed for our sins. He was beaten that we might have peace.

Let’s see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has told us about.” They hurried to the village and found Mary and Joseph. And there was the baby, lying in the manger. After seeing him, the shepherds […]
Mary's Boy Child
I’m guessing you are probably pretty familiar with the whole Christmas story, including the bit where the angel Gabriel visits Mary and tells her that she has found favour with God and going to give birth to His Son, the Saviour of the world. (It’s found in Luke 1:26-38 if you want to read over it […]

CMM: Presents
Today as part of Christmas Means More we are focusing on Christmas presents. I don’t know if you’ve been out yet doing your Christmas shopping yet? I went last Friday and managed to get something for most of the people I was buying for, which I was pleased with. (I’ll be even more pleased if […]
