"The stone the builders rejected has become the capstone;" (Psalm 118:22) In 33AD, Jesus was in Jerusalem debating with the heavy-weight Jewish authorities. In that debate, Jesus told them a story about a vineyard, whose tenants refused to pay rent to the vineyard owner. It was obvious that the...

Joshua's Trustworthiness (Joshua 9:1-27)
"Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding" (Proverbs 3:5) This is the next instalment of our Joshua series. The question I want to explore is: do we trust God to speak into the things in our life that seem obvious?

"For if you live according to the sinful nature, you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the misdeeds of the body, you will live." (Romans 8:13) The story of Achan reminds us that sin is serious. It is deadly. His sin caused the whole of Israel to fail. That may not seem fair, but it...

"By faith the walls of Jericho fell, after the people had marched around them for seven days." (Hebrews 11:30) Joshua defeated Jericho when he was obedient to the strange commands given him by the LORD. We need to learn obedience to him and trust in him, too, even when to do so seems to go…

"Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead," (1 Peter 1:3) Christian hope is not founded on human strength or ability but on God’s power. The book of Joshua...

Fruit of the Spirit: Self-Control (2 Peter 1:1-11)
"Like a city whose walls are broken down is a person who lacks self-control." (Proverbs 25:28) The Proverb above says, that if we lack self-control, we are like a city without walls. We become defenceless - not from external attack, but to our own destructive behaviours. Self-control is a guard…

"Therefore, go and make disciples of all nations, baptising them in the name of the Father, and the Son and the Holy Spirit." (Matthew 28:19) The above verse is often seen as Jesus’ mission statement. What are we meant to be trying to achieve as the church? Jesus says, make disciples!

Goodness (Genesis 39:1-20a)
"Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good." (Romans 12:21) The Christian message is that evil has been overcome by good. On the cross, Jesus defeated Satan and bore the the sin of the world whilst remaining perfectly obedient to God. Even though, he was treated unjustly and abused…

Kindness(Ruth 2)

Easter Sunday (Matthew 21:1-11)
"Go quickly and tell his disciples: "He has risen from the dead..." (Matthew 28:7) The Easter Story is an emotional rollercoaster. It takes us from the depths of human cruelty and agony to the highs of the most incredible and hope-giving miracle and for many, this story is the most important…

Palm Sunday (Matthew 21:1-11)
"Rejoice greatly, O Daughter of Zion! Shout, Daughter of Jerusalem! See, your king comes to you, righteous and having salvation, gentle and riding on a donkey, on a colt, the foal of a donkey." (Zechariah 9:9) This Sunday is Palm Sunday. We remember Jesus on a journey into Jerusalem. He, like…

Peace (Philippians 4:2-9)
"Blessed are the peacemakers, because they will be called children of God." (Matthew 5:9) When Paul writes about ‘the peace of God’, he does so in the context of urging Christians in the Philippian church to stop arguing (Philippians 4:2-3). In other words, Paul recognises that it is easier to…

Love (1 John 4:7-12)
"This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins." (1 John 4:10) This weekend is Mothering Sunday, when we celebrate and give thanks for the love of our mothers. The relationship between a mother and her child is perhaps the…
more -
Joy(Psalm 100)
"Rejoice in the Lord always, I will say it again: Rejoice!" (Philippians 4:4) How can you tell someone is a Christian? Jesus says, “by their fruit you will recognise them” (Matthew 7:16) and a key characteristic of the fruit of the Spirit is joy. So shouldn’t joy be a key sign that someone might…
more -
Fruit of the Spirit (Galatians 5:13-26)

more -
Adam and Christ (Romans 5:12-19)
"For just as through the disobedience of the one man, the many were made sinners, so also through the obedience of the one man the many will be made righteous." (Romans 5:19) Adam famously disobeyed God’s one rule not to eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. We are all descendants…

Balaam's Donkey (Numbers 22:21-41)
God to Abraham: "I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse; and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you."

Grumbling about Plans (Numbers 13-14)

Grumbling about Provision (Numbers 11:4-34)
“And do not grumble, as some of them did--and were killed by the destroying angel." (1 Corinthians 10:10) As Christians we need to be honest about the difficulties and struggles we face, but we must not allow ourselves to be caught up in a negative spiral of grumbling that makes us forget the…

Care for others (Matthew 25:31-46)
"Therefore keep watch, because you do not know on what day your Lord will come." (Matthew 24:42) Do we see Jesus when we see someone in need?
