  1. Blessed ??

    3D AGO

    Blessed ??

    We often talk about ourselves or others as being blessed. “I’m blessed.” “She’s blessed.” “We’re really blessed.” Here’s what I wonder: what does it mean to be blessed? When you tell someone, “you are blessed” what do you mean by that? And when you hear someone else say, “I’m really blessed,” how do you understand that? Send me a text if you wish :)

    Life's a drag ?

    Have you ever had times when life is "a drag"? One day merges into another and they are all the same, boring routine. Yes? Well, you are not alone! That's the reality of life - yes - BUT these are also the circumstances in which Jesus comes to us, the context in which we hear the call to new life, and the place where we are forever changed.

  3. Magnificent Encounter

    Magnificent Encounter

    John 1:29-42 begins with one of the greatest encounters of all time - John the Baptist, meeting Jesus. As John sees Jesus his THIRTEEN words, yes - just 13 words, smash into our consciousness and are unforgettable, “Behold the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!” Later, we have a response from Jesus, "Come and see", and what a call for us that is.

  4. Why baptise Jesus ?

    Why baptise Jesus ?

    That word, “righteousness,” is absolutely full of meaning. Matthew uses it seven times in his Gospel, and each use signals a slightly different understanding of the word. On this occasion, Matthew 3:13-17, perhaps it is Jesus' way of saying, “Come on John, Let’s do this! It’s part of God’s plan to redeem the world!” Send me a text if you wish :)

    Growing Up !

    In Luke 2:41-52, Mary and Jospeh are in a panic, they cannot find Jesus! With great anxiety they search for him and, three days later, they find him. Mary’s first words are, “Child, why have you treated us like this?”  What I really hear is a loud, “Where have you been young man? Your father and I did not survive angels visits, birth in a stable, and living like refugees in Egypt only to have you get lost in Jerusalem.” Send me a text if you wish :)

  6. Hope for the long road ahead.

    Hope for the long road ahead.

    As we read Matthew 2:13-23 we realise that the Christmas story takes a dark turn. Christmas cards never show this scene. No angels singing. No wise men bringing gifts. No shepherds kneeling. Instead, we hear of fear, flight, and tragedy. Just after the immense joy of Jesus’ birth, Matthew’s Gospel takes us into danger and darkness. The child who has come to save the world is immediately threatened by the powers of the world. Send me a text if you wish :)

  7. Did God Lose The Plot ?

    Did God Lose The Plot ?

    Did God take leave of his senses?  If God is the almighty creator of the universe, what would possess Him to to be born as a helpless baby, to put himself in a position of complete dependence on human parents, to make himself vulnerable to all the pain and suffering of life on earth? What on earth would be the point of it? What sort of God decides to do something like that? It's noting more than the power of love !! Send me a text if you wish :)

  8. Lessons from Joseph

    Lessons from Joseph

    The final Sunday in Advent marks the beginning of the transition from Advent to Christmas. It is at this time that Christmas narratives often shine the spotlight on Mary, on shepherds, and of course on the Christ Child Himself. However, I want to draw our focus to Joseph. His role is quiet, but it is powerfully instructive. In Matthew 1:18–25, we encounter a man who shows us what faithful obedience looks like - especially when God’s plan is confusing, unexpected, and costly. Send me a text if you wish :)
