Stop praying like a widow – and start praying like a bride. A woman who knows she’s loved by her husband knows she can get anything she wants from him.

The BEST Marriage – available at the Kindle store
Just finished the wedding of a fab Ivy couple. Congrats to Pete and Chloe!
They field-tested my new book as part of their marriage prep.
You Need To Get An Upgrade!
The old you is dead!’ The Father sees you different. He doesn’t see what’s wrong with you. He’s dealt with that!
You’re in Christ – and one of his names is Wonderful, so what does that make you!?
You can’t say, ‘Jesus is wonderful but I’m rubbish.’ That’s just religious nonsense.
Graham Cooke – BRILLIANT THINKING: Leader’s evening at Ivy Manchester
GREAT start to our time this weekend, Graham spoke BRILLIANTLY about thinking BRILLIANT. Tomorrow at the Armitage Centre we’ll hear more. Excited to partner with our friends from Christ Church Harpurhey and Vinelife, It’s not too late to book in – here. Here’s my notes from tonight… Around 25 years ago had 3 dreams: 1) a grey man in an old car was showing him round the grey city pointing out all the sin and problems in people, with a grey attitude. Depressing! Dream 2 – grey man in slightly better grey car saying, ‘We are doing courses to help them’ – that was even more depressing. Dream 3 – Bright young guy in a bright car, shouting encouragement that told them who they really were and it CHANGED the people! ‘This is how I see you – you’re going to be doing this!’ The city changed! The church has an old vehicle being driven by an old man. The old man is the old man that was put on Jesus. We don’t need to do that. God isn’t focused […]
@Mike_Breen at @IvyManchester – the Prodigal SONS
These are my notes from the talk, with some questions for Grow Groups to consider and discuss together. PRAY: Thanks to God for IVY KINGSWAY! What a great way to start off our new service there at Cineworld Didsbury. Next Sunday we’ll have the lights in too that we’ve partnered with the cinema in buying, it’ll be even better! Father’s Day Mike said his talk is for those who have felt that your walk with God is drifting or has drifted. Because God wanted us CLOSE. Question – Do you feel close to God right now? How do you know when you are? Read 1 John 3:1 – How great is the love of the Father that he has LAVISHED on us that we should be called the children of God! That’s what we are! Question – Discuss the word Lavish. What images does it bring to mind? The story of the Prodigal son is actually all about the Father and how he relates to 2 different types of people: Read the story together and look at the setting in Luke […]
@AlanHirsch – ReOrganise at #NWNLC12
Don’t create systems that create dependences. If you want to destroy a movement – don’t make it easily reproducible.We believe in the priesthood of all believers, but it’s largely a doctrine not a practice. As long as you’re wearing a collar it speaks louder than your words. You’re representing the institution. It’s very hard to get a person to understand something when their salary depends on not understanding it.
@Alanhirsch – ReMission at #NWNLC12
It’s not that the church has a mission, but that the mission has a church!
@Alanhirsch; ReDisciple – at #NWNLC12
Don’t “do evangelism,” make disciples!
@alanhirsch – ReJesus, session 1 at #nwlc12
We have to think like revolutionaries again. We’ve been too complacent and need to think like movements. Across Europe, we’ve seen what happens when the church doesn’t.
When people say ‘What’s your plan?’ try this answer, ‘I’m trusting God.’
When people say ‘What’s your plan?’ try this answer, ‘I’m trusting God.’
The only thing we know about the future is ‘He’s in it!’
The only way we got here is he got us here.
