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 […]

I'm not ashamed of the Gospel
You may have heard or read the testimony of Rachel Scott. (She’s the girl from Rachel’s Tears). On April 20th 1999, two disillusioned young men went on a killing spree at her school, Columbine High School, Colorado. They held a gun to her head and asked if she believed in God. Knowing that if she […]
Are you sitting comfortably?
We like our comfort. You would be hard pressed to find someone who would rather sleep rough than in a five star hotel. Given the choice most people would rather live in a ‘safe’ country like the UK than war torn areas such as Iraq. We try to avoid situations that may bring conflict. Our […]
Walking on Water
You will probably be quite familiar with the Sunday School favourite story of Jesus walking on water, found in Matthew 14. During the fourth watch of the night Jesus went out to them [the disciples were in a boat on the lake], walking on the lake. When the disciples saw him walking on the lake, they […]
Prayer for a Friend
Non-Christian friend. We’ve all got them, or at least we should. We should be striving to befriend the lost, especially those that society in general has rejected, and shower them with the love of Christ, shining out to them like ‘stars in the universe’ with God’s glory. We may have non-Christian friends, but do we […]

Answering the Lord's Call
In Acts 1 v 8 we hear Jesus’ commandment to his disciples just before he is taken to heaven through the ascension… “Tell people about me everywhere – in Jerusalem, throughout Judea, in Samaria, and to the ends of the earth” Jesus was telling his disciples to spread the Kingdom and tell of him in these […]

Bursting Bubbles
West Ham football club fans have a song they often sing at matches in which they sing about blowing bubbles. I feel that as a church this is something we have been guilty of for far too long, and it is time to get out some pins and get bursting bubbles. In John 17 Jesus prays […]
Deep water faith in the shallow end
1 Peter 2v2-3: “Like newborn babies, you must crave pure spiritual milk so that you will grow into a full experience of salvation. Cry out for this nourishment, now that you have had a taste of the Lord’s kindness.” In the Casting crowns song ‘Somewhere in the middle’ they have a line “Deep water faith in the […]
