During Lent Sundays are considered ‘feast days’ and are excluded from your fast. So if you’ve given up chocolate, you’re able to enjoy some on Sundays. For the purposes of the Lent Challenge, they’re a day off. There won’t be a reflection posted, but there will be a video or picture to reflect on. Or…

Following or Stalking? I’m a big fan of Twitter. At the time of writing I have 874 followers, and I follow 441 people/organisations. Some are people I know personally, some are acquaintances, others I have things in common with. I’m interested in what (most of them) have to say, but I struggle to keep up…
What is your next step? God created you because He has a plan for your life (see day 1 and day 2) – but it doesn’t always feel like it. We can mess up at times, and others can cause us pain and distress, and those things can shape us. But although we are products…
You are not an accident… ‘I am your Creator. You were in my care even before you were born.’ Isaiah 44:2 CEV We hear a lot these days about poor self-esteem & people thinking that they’re not worth anything. Some people wish they’d never been born. Regardless of the circumstances of your birth or who your…

We’re just starting our new series on Discipleship, we’ve just launched the redesigned website, and are just about to start Lent – so what better way…
Although we were technically continuing our ‘Identity‘ theme, this week we took a bit of a detour to reflect on a verse we passed over last week. Adam & Eve had sinned, realised they were naked, and were suddenly ashamed. They sewed together some fig leaves and made themselves some clothes. When God was walking…
Continuing our ‘Identity‘ series, this week we looked at the first question asked in the Bible by God. We pick up the story at Genesis 3:7, after Adam & Eve have been tempted by the sneaky serpent and have disobeyed God: 7 Right away they saw what they had done, and they realized they were…
Last session we introduced the new theme of ‘identity’ and heard how God created us, and how amazing we are. This week we continue by exploring what it means not just to be created by God but to be made in His image – that gives us big shoes to fill! 24 God said, “I command…
We’re starting a new series on the theme of identity. Our identity, and our understanding of it, is fundamental to who we are. I’m grateful to my friend, Nick Francis, for allowing us to use his awesome photo for this series. Nick is a pretty ordinary guy: husband, dad, youth worker, etc. But this photo of…
