    The blood heals

    It is better to sleep on what you plan to do than to be kept awake by what you've done. There is a word that many will hear and many will dread at times in life, we don’t like it, we don’t want to have any thoughts on it but it will always remind us of things in times past and that is the word ...read more

    Stony The Road We Trod:

     | 2,442 views

    Jesus’ “going up” to Jerusalem is a public event, interpreted by Luke as a royal entry.

    It is that “slash” day again—as in Palm/Passion Sunday—as in trying to capture two seemingly distinct moods and experiences in one act of worship. It is almost impossible to do, it seems. If we lean toward the Palm Sunday experience and emphasize the exuberance of the triumphal entry into ...read more

    Are we waiting in eager expectation for the gift of the Spirit? A heavy re-work of a much earlier sermon from many years ago, which is looking to provoke a change in peoples perspectives.

    In the Name of the living God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Amen. Very, very occasionally I will head off somewhere on a train, and as I look around the platform, it doesn’t take too long to see that there is a difference between how adults and children wait for its arrival.

    Many professing Christians treat the Faith as though it were optional; God calls us to absolute commitment.

    “We must pay much closer attention to what we have heard, lest we drift away from it. For since the message declared by angels proved to be reliable, and every transgression or disobedience received a just retribution, how shall we escape if we neglect such a great salvation? It was declared at ...read more

    Why Reaching The Top Still Feels So Empty

    Contributed by David Dunn on Nov 30, 2025
     | 142 views

    Success cannot heal the soul; only God’s whisper restores us. When we quit running, God meets us, feeds us, and makes us whole.

    Part One There are moments in life when you do everything right—moments when the victory is undeniable, the applause is loud, the outcome is clear—and yet something inside you feels strangely hollow. It’s bewildering. You should feel triumphant, settled, validated. But instead, the deepest parts ...read more
