Heavenly Sacrifice
1 Corinthians ch 9
Sometimes a lot is asked or even demanded from us, it can make us bitter and reluctant. But all this can be undone with a change of perspective - who we do it for and why.

Growing Pains - Erin Spavin
Ezekiel 37:1-14
There's an old saying, "as in the natural, so in the spiritual". Growing pains are something that we experience in the natural, but when we aim to follow Christ, we can also experience spiritual growing pains.

Heavenly Choices
1 Corinthians 8
We would love to think that our choices are our own and only affect us, but does that "knowledge" build anyone else up? There may be choices in our lives that need to be made from another, higher perspective to help us accomplish a higher goal.

2 Corinthians 9:5-7
The great thing about a seed is its unlimited potential - unless you eat it. Sow the seed and it will produce even more seeds, which can be resown and resown again - constant growth. Unless you eat the all the seeds. God wants us to be sowers and loving it.

Bon Appetit
1 Corinthians 6:14
That's a saying I've never needed encouragement in before a meal - I always love to eat. But of course not all eating is good for us, so how do we learn to balance what we need with what is good for us?

Hunger Games
1 Corinthians 6:13
The movie creates a scenario where there are limited resources and only one winner. A metaphor for life? It sounds like hell but it's the way we are trained to live on planet earth. Surely God has something better than hunger?

I Have a Need for ... Restoration - Peter Heyworth
Isaiah 42:5-10
The Tension! You know what I mean, the tension of knowing that things are just not right. We can be somewhat aware of our weaknesses and failings, and feel the tension of not being what we believe we should be. We want restoration, to a better us. What does that look like?

Who's Your Daddy? - Steve Crouch
Romans 8:14-16
Relationships! Opening up to others. Are we able to really be ourselves to others? How vulnerable and transparent are we? Perhaps we aren't, because we don't see ourselves well. How we relate to others is dependant on how we see ourselves, and sometimes also on how others see us. The same goes for our relationship with God.

Passion, Purpose and Process - Peter Heyworth
Colossians 1:24-2:5
Motivation! So often we are encouraged and admonished to be motivated for all kinds of things in life. It is only natural that we ask ourselves what our motivation should be for our christian walk.
