Where do you fit in?
Luke 1:26 to Luke 2:20. Whilst being in the audience at a Nativity Service can be heart-warming as we experience a cuteness overload of small children retelling the Biblical narrative, that’s far from the reality of how things were when the birth of Jesus was announced. It wasn’t a time when most of the community […]
Divine resources will conquer and purify.
Zechariah Chaps 4 – 6. And so the visions keep coming! In chapter 4 (vision 5) the people of God are encouraged to keep going and rebuild, knowing that they have the resources to do what the Lord was asking of them. Chapter 5 (visions 6 & 7) explains that those who oppose the ways […]
Return and Repent.
Zechariah 1: 1 – 6. The message of Zechariah begins with a warning: “Do not be like your forefathers… they would not listen or pay attention to me, declares the Lord”. (1:4). The people of God were being urged to “Return to me”, realign their vision with the Lord’s will for them. For that to […]

Genesis 1:24-31, Colossians 1:1-20. This passage is such a highpoint of Paul’s writing. It has a majestic view of Jesus, the church and God’s plans for the whole world. It is a definite mountain top moment in the letter. Paul begins by reminding them that they have been brought out of one way of life […]
Connecting with God, Unshakeable Holy Spirit: The Spirit renews.
Romans 8: 1-17. Renewal through the Holy Spirit happens as we turn away from our “old” selves, and embrace our “new” selves. Turn away from the “old” you (vs. 1-11): Bound by the law of sin & death (vs. 1-2); Minds controlled by the “sinful nature” lead to destruction and death (vs. 5-9); Sinful nature: […]
Connecting with God, Redeeming Son: The rejoicing and mithering of healing.
John 4:43 – 5:15; 9:1-41. The work of the Redeeming Son cannot be contained by tradition, or rules and regulations! When Jesus saw a need, He responded to it in the way that He knew best, and within the timing that He knew best. Yet, for some of those looking on, the “rules” of the […]
