Jesus in the Room
It was Easter and I was at Uni. I was walking home from an event along a leafy street when suddenly, I felt Him. Suddenly, I knew without question that Jesus was walking right alongside me. I felt it so strongly I had to walk almost in the hedge to make sure He didn’t bump […]

In appreciation of appreciation
A few years ago, I helped to lead a training course for those who felt called to become Worship Leaders in the Methodist Church. These Worship Leaders would be expected to be able to lead any part of the service that wasn’t the sermon, including a kids talk and various kinds of prayers. One of […]

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 […]

The Torn Curtain
One day when I was about 14 years old, some friends came to visit – two boys, the older one, Luke, was my age and the younger one, Simon, was my sister’s age. We went to the local park together without our parents, and as they were sporty types, they brought along some balls to […]

Pearl of great price
On Sunday this week we were thinking about maintaining a good life/work balance. I was looking after my 15 month-old son and he was absolutely determined to get out of the church and into the sunshine so I couldn’t stay and listen to the sermon, but what I did hear was enough. The preacher shared […]

Pressing On
10 I want to know Christ – yes, to know the power of his resurrection and participation in his sufferings, becoming like him in his death, 11 and so, somehow, attaining to the resurrection from the dead. 12 Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already arrived at my goal, but I press on to take hold […]
