In considering the story of Jesus, I was reminded recently about the difference between who Jesus is and my testimony. My testimony is a powerful account of that which I have witnessed and experienced by observation in my own life. As it is true to me as one who has been through it I validate […]
Read More Good NewsThere is a beautiful hymn called One Day. The writer of the hymn takes us on a truly outstanding journey through the life and times of Jesus Christ from His incarnation through to the day all believers look forward to when He returns for His people, His Kingdom and His world. The middle of the […]
Read More One DayThe good news talks of a King establishing His Kingdom. When I consider kings and members of royalty there is usually something about them that makes them hard to connect with, because their personality and position makes them someone who can only be seen from afar. There is little personal connection and hardly anything to […]
Read More He RelatesI needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.’ – Matthew 25:36 Of late I’ve been challenged about the power of the indwelling Spirit of God.

Read More Banquet InvitationIt was a big deal to acknowledge someone as the Son of David. In essence, what is being proclaimed is royalty. Someone worthy of the crown of the greatest King in their history. That this new hope should enter the main city in such humility is fitting of the Man who was born in humble […]
