The Key to Everything
Luke 19:11-28
We live in a world of give and take; you scratch my back and I'll scratch yours. So when it comes to getting a good deal from God, how are we supposed to scratch His itch?

Keeping Your Heart
Isaiah 29:13
Going through life is much more convenient and simple when we don't have to consider our attitudes and motives, when we just do what we want without considering the fallout. Pain comes from broken relationships stained by poor choices, poor understanding and not enough consideration.

What Is Worship? - Derek McClure
We can't help ourselves can we? We are always feeling the pull to check off the list of things we "know" we should be doing. What about worship? Are we 'worshipping' properly, are we 'worshipping' enough? What defines worship anyway?

The Christian's One Problem - Kevin Hodges
We are so easily influenced by our senses, what we see, hear, smell, touch and taste. All too often how we see ourselves is guided by what we know of ourselves, and see in ourselves. Is that how God sees us? Are we defined by our performance or is there another metre by which we are measured in His eyes?

The Christ Who Heals
1 Corinthians 11:17-34
A common tradition that is being lost in this age of electronic devices is the family meal. When was the last time you sat down at the dinner table and talked to your wife, husband, children etc. whilst you ate a meal together. It reminds us of things forgotten, things hoped for and things shared. Jesus wants to have a meal with His family too.

Christmas, the End of Selfishness
Isaiah 61:1-4
What if the cosmic war was over forever and God was only ever going to be on your side? How would it feel if you expected favour? How would your year go if you started in faith built around His promise of Favour?

Christmas, the End of Uncertainty
James 3:14-18
"Peace on earth and goodwill to men", the angels announced. Finally we're not on our own and all of God's good will is turned towards us. It's the end of fear and uncertainty forever.

Christmas, the End of Confusion
1 Corinthians 2:6-14
You'd better not shout, you'd better not cry," goes the Santa song. But why? Who's shouting, who's crying and why? Santa may not like them, but maybe Jesus will be okay with my shouts and cries.

Sowing & Harvesting - Radivan Runjo
Crop farmers will hire farm hands to help with the sowing, watering, fertilising, pruning and harvesting of the crop. If however the farm hands don't do the work, the crop will fail and the farm will become a liability to the farmer. Jesus is the Great Farmer, the world is His farm, and He has hired us to be His farm hands. Are we doing the work?

God in the Centre - Glynn Greenwood
Daily we find ourselves under pressure to prioritise the things that we "need". Bills to pay, family to love and care for, a house to keep clean, cooking, maintenance etc. Is there a priority that we need more than others, but find ourselves dropping to the bottom of the list?

Deal With It!
Luke 4:1-13
How many little things have you swept under the carpet or avoided dealing with. Like the Philistines of old, if you don't deal with them- those habits become oppressors.
