Jesus in the ordinary
The other day my five-year-old asked me what my favourite bird was. In the past I’d have said something really pretentious like a Golden Oriole. But after thinking a while I decided my favourite bird is a robin. I was really quite surprised at my own answer – why something so common and ordinary? What […]

Clearing out the rubbish
Amy recently wrote a blog post about her many encounters with skip lorries. As so often happens for prophets, the things that go on in their lives reflect what God is doing with people around her and further afield. Her experiences tied in with me hearing some teaching about seeking God about lies in our […]

Anyone for a skip?
The one who overcomes, I will grant to him to sit with Me on My throne, as I also overcame and sat with My Father on His throne. Rev 3:21 Recently I was listening to some teaching on this passage in Revelation 3. Some of you may know that in the throne room with Jesus, […]

Brave Questions
As outlined in Helen’s last blog post, asking God questions is one of the best things we can do. It helps us understand His heart for us, teaches us how to navigate the circumstances we find ourselves in and helps us learn how to grow in relationship and intimacy with Him and with others. But […]

Asking Questions
Every stage you pass through as a parent involves some things you love, and some that you want to move on from as soon as possible. With my son, I am in a phase that I both love and hate – and I think many will sympathise: the ‘Why?’ phase. I have to be very […]

New Year – New Carpet!
Two months ago, we moved into our new house. Every wall was the same shade of off-white and the floor varied from grey carpets to white tiles. It was at best, clean and neutral, but it felt like it had no soul. We did our best to unpack and make our mark on it with […]

Letting go
As we come to the end of the year, it is important to reflect on all that has taken place. For some, there will be joyful memories which we can celebrate and thank God for. But for many of us, this year will have been difficult and not at all what we had hoped or […]

The Canal and the River
I have long been fascinated by the River of Life in the Bible. I love how it meanders through the text, first in the creation story, followed by shadows and hints of it in the earthly rivers, appearing in glorious beauty in the Psalms, Ezekiel and Isaiah, before becoming the centrepiece of the new heavens […]

Ready and Waiting
In times of difficulty, we often ask ourselves, ‘Where is God in this?’ or ‘What is God doing in me through this – what is it that I need to learn?’ And these questions are really important to us and help us grow. But often for the prophets in the Bible, their circumstances were less […]

Free from condemnation
Today I was listening to the ‘Art of Celebration’ by Rend Collective and though I have listened to it on many occasions, a particular line jumped out at me which hasn’t before and it says this:‘This is the art of celebration, knowing we’re free from condemnation’ And I wondered: what does it look like to […]
