Fear tells you tomorrow is something to panic about.
Fear whispers that God won’t come through.
But Jesus says: “Do not be afraid, little flock.”
“It is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom.”
That means:
Nothing you face tomorrow surprises Him
Nothing comes without grace attached
No trial lacks the provision to overcome it
No need will find Him unprepared
Here’s a talk I did some while ago to encourage faith as we then went on to pray for HEALING. May the Lord bless you – even heal you – as you read!
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.
That’s the Christian life in one page:
At the start, peace and love.
At the end, great joy.
In the middle… well, things can get gnarly.
MISSION DETAILS: Should You Decide To Accept It…
Communitas isn’t just about great input. It’s about coaching and conversation too. When leaders walk this journey together, we go further faster, and the fruit multiplies.
Whether you’re a church leader, part of a congregation, or just someone who cares about family and community, this conversation will inspire and equip you to take steps towards ministering more effectively to older people.
When the heat is on and the ground feels dry, remember your life is not rooted in the season but in the stream. Seasons will change, but the water never runs dry.
“The Holy Spirit has been made like a drunk uncle at a wedding: still technically invited, but stuck in the corner in case he embarrasses us.”
I was privileged to attend this year’s Wildfires event. My first reflection is no wonder it’s grown every year. I was invited in previous years and thought ‘it’s too far from Manchester’ but I’ve realised it’s not going to get any closer just because I moan about it and it was definitely worth the drive.
This summer, the tent was bigger and the hunger greater, and I was so glad to be one of the 4000 adults (plus 2000 children and young people) who attended and actually it was fantastic NOT doing anything but receiving and worshipping. On the first night Pete spoke and my notes are below – brilliant stuff!
