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!

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.
‘Contending For The Faith’ in a culture of compromise.
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.

“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.”
Pete Greig: Prayer that’s Faithful, Faith-Filled, and Fully Awake.
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!
How To Lead Like Jesus (Not Jezebel) – Recognising the Toxic Spirit That Destroys From Within
