    Today I want to talk about two unexpected events in Moses’s life. One was a glorious encounter with God that set him on the course for the last 40 years of his life. The other was a painful experience that equipped him to fulfill the mission given to him in the first encounter. In both cases the ...read more

    Have you ever thought I wonder what the will of God is for my life? It could be honouring (that’s New Zealand-English, not a spelling mistake) others so that they too will do the will of God. This is about a culture of honour.

    In this time in history the basic desires, the basic drives of the human being are pretty much the same as they have been for all of history. In John’s first letter of three which incidentally I’m working through a series on, we get this directive from this great Apostle, who walked along side ...read more
