How To Grow In Spiritual Hunger
When I first got started I learned a lot from reading other’s sermons, so now I’m going to start putting some notes from my own sermons on here. Subscribe is you don’t want to miss them. Go to ivychurch.org and look around a bit if you want to listen or watch on Youtube. This is from our recent INCREDIBLE Ivy weekend away, first night – so it won’t be on the site.
Notes From My Talk Today At The Funeral Of My Friend Eric Delve.
One way or another one day you will be leaving. Nothing you can do will stop the onward march of time and each moment takes us nearer the point when we will no longer be part of life here. Since there’s nothing we can do to stop that process it would be wise to give at least some thought to preparing for the event when it occurs.
THE WISDOM TEST
The Bible says there are TWO kinds of wisdom. One comes from below and trips us up. The other comes from above and brings life.

Things That Make More Sense The Older I Get (includes – the best way to say NO I ever heard)
Whenever I heard that Gordon MacDonald was visiting the UK, I’d go to hear him, take Zoe, and take notes. I have workbooks galore filled with his wisdom. Much of it was instantly applicable, but as the decades roll on now rather than just years when and if I find some of those notes I review them and want to underline them again, and look to whether I applied them. Do you ever do that? I look forward to the two of us talking about them again (we will soon), and when I get chance I’ll share some too whether to those I coach or on here. Some of these you will resonate immediately, others need to marinade – but this LIST I found today just makes more and more sense in my sixties than ever before (I think he’d just turned 80 when he shared this with us, and I was in my forties). THE LIST – GORDON MACDONALD Good hey? There’s more… but now, SELAH… pause and calmly reflect… Digging deeper (this from the Question Time) Which comes […]
Thoughts On Hearing That My Friend Eric Delve Has Gone Home To Be With Jesus.
I believe Eric was the finest preacher to reach ordinary people that the nation has produced in his generation. He was also my spiritual Dad, and not just by his message but his mentoring, prayer and support.
I loved his laugh, and shared many of his heartfelt tears too as he prayed for the people. He was incredibly open as a Pastor to care deeply for people
