    Good Days

    “These are the Good-Old-Days – just wait and see.” (Wait, by Steve Turner). These days we mostly seem to reflect on how bad things are now, and how no-one is really getting to grips with the problems, and how much

    Seeing is Believing?]

    Several contemporary sources that tells us something about Jesus – both Christian or non-Christian – agree that he was widely known as a miracle worker. And yet, as John reminds us in his prologue, most of Jesus’ contemporaries did not

    Signs for Life

    I wonder what would happen if we took down all our road signs. They tried it in the second world war – removing them so invading armies wouldn’t be able to find their way. Although it probably meant that anyone

    Back at the foot of the mountain

    This week is the last in our series on Romans. We’ve used a lot of mountaineering imagery throughout the series and it certainly feels like we’ve gone up and down a mountain! As we find ourselves back at the foot

    Keeping the main thing the main thing

    One of the most exciting truths about the Gospel is that it embraces people from every culture on earth. From the Roman Empire to the space age, and from Jerusalem and Judea to the ends of the Earth the Gospel

    Where to?

    There’s a singer called Joe King (actually, there are two – one in the US who has a Wikipedia page and one in the UK who doesn’t. I’m talking about the Brit) who wrote a song which contains the line

    My choice

    There aren’t enough hours in the day. I find. And so much I want to do. I expect you feel the same. There aren’t enough £s in my pocket. I find. And so much I could do if only I

    God is Love

    “I don’t know why we’re on this earth,” says Stephen. “… But if I wanted to find the answer, I would begin with how much I love you.” [Richard Osman’s 4th Thursday Murder Club Mystery] When we stop to think

    Pentecost: a revolution in our Relationship with God

    Have you ever dreamed of what it would be like to be one of the disciples, back when Jesus was still on earth? For nearly two thousand years, Christians have imagined seeing Jesus’ life and wished they could have been

    The Ascension: Friends in High Places

    I imagine that if most Christians are honest, the ascension of Jesus into heaven is one Bible story we wish hadn’t happened. After all, wouldn’t it be so much easier to convince people that Jesus had really risen from the
