Can you see?


What has God got to say to us on this Christmas Eve?With so many worried about the future, why worry about what happened so long ago? Aren’t today and tomorrow more important that all our yesterdays? When you are as exhausted and stressed out from the preparations for “the big day, ” what possible relevance can a 2000 year old birth have? It’s not as if Christmas is different from year to year. Same old TV programmes, same old food, same old indigestion, same old credit card bills in January...

Finding our way


How do we find our way to an unfamiliar destination when the Sat Nav is on the blink? It’s bad enough when you’re on a important journey: it’s tougher still when you’re at a crossroads in life, uncertain which way to turn. If the advice you need or the direction you seek isn’t clear, you can find yourself down some dead ends or even setting off in the wrong direction entirely. A Kingdom in chaos, a dithering leader with dark forces massing at the borders...

Will you get involved?


Why me? Why this? Why how? Why? Some conversations are far from easy. Others are trickier still, especially when we realise that the discussion will lead us to take part in something that will demand our total commitment to a cause or circumstances we struggle to understand. Angelic visitations are rare events. God’s messengers don’t usually turn up on a regular basis unless He (God) has something very special to share with us...

A new direction


The best stories are the ones that are true, which invite you not only to join in, but which present you with a life changing choice. Philip is a man with a mission. The Ethiopian Civil Servant is returning from Jerusalem: he may have been on official business but he's taken the opportunity to worship God. He's a high ranking official in some ways but an ordinary man in another - like so many people he's trying to make sense of his world and his life. There's something missing...

Are you ready?


Responsibility. It’s more than a long word – it’s also a big ask. There are certain things we can’t avoid; Mark Twain famously said these were “being born, dying and paying taxes.”It’s the latter that Paul addresses in Romans 13. It’s not so much the mechanisms of payment but our commitment to be responsible citizens. Rome was hardly a hotbed of tolerance and justice but the Christian’s duty – as Paul explains it – is to ensure that they are a good example to follow...

There's plenty of room


If you want to have dinner with a famous person, it can be arranged. The only snag is that it will either cost you an arm and a leg or you will already be in a position where your influence will get you a place at the top table. That kind of encounter is not for everyone: only the privileged few will ever get to sit next to a celebrity. Today’s reading concerns a posh dinner...

When do I stop?


It's the time of year when Toy makers rely on one thing to increase their annual profits. No it's not higher prices and greater profit margins (although you could be forgiven for thinking as much) but something far more insidious and personal. Marketing experts have long known the commercial value of harnessing two forms of human behaviour into their sales culture. What's on trend and what's in the mind...

It's all there but...


Don’t know what to think? Don’t know where to go? Pushed around and feel like you’re not in control of your own life?If that’s the case you’re in very good company. Most of us have been there at some time or another: some of us are there right now where it feels like we’re paddling madly and working harder just to stand still. Moving on is something else entirely. That’s just the sort of personal circumstances Jesus saw all around him...

When do I pray?


Pray without ceasing. It sounds good and wholly spiritual but how do we fit our conversation with God (prayer) into and around our busy lives? Prayer is much more than that. It’s not something you do occasionally, or even for a few minutes every day. Prayer, when applied to your life the way God intended it to be, is a 24-hour-a-day, seven-day-a-week connection with God. It is a life not a  lifestyle.It is up to us to keep the lines of communication open with God...

Connecting with broken lives


We cannot change lives at arms’ length: we need to be involved. Discipleship isn’t just believing the right things or reciting the ancient creeds. Missional churches aren’t missional unless and until they engage with those who need to experience Christ for themselves. Watching someone else do it is great, Talk is easy but doing it for ourselves (personal action/involvement) is another thing entirely...
