Be patient. Don’t be too quick to judge. If this is just human, it will fade out. But if it’s God, it’s unstoppable. You don’t want to find yourself fighting God.

Act 3:1-10 is a contrast between spiritual resources and wealth and human resources. Peter is dependant upon the person and the power, and Peter recognises what he has in Christ.

We need truth-speakers in our lives. Jesus is the ultimate one. His voice should define our conclusions.

Love is the greatest gif, when you look for evidence of God’s activity - you should see LOVE

Grace doesn’t just forgive—it qualifies. It’s not just mercy, it’s activating grace. It doesn’t just release from judgment. It redeems, restores, and removes the barriers that should have disqualified him. GRACE QUALIFIED PAUL. Grace rewrites our STORY.

All human suffering has the potential to awaken or increase our reliance on God, a doorway into the place where the illusion of self-sufficiency shatters.

Before coming to Christ Paul had many strengths and privileges. Educational, achievement, opportunities, people’s applause, top-table dinning, and religious status. Compared to Christ, he concludes that things that once elevated him are comparatively rubbish

A talk that invites us to ask this question - "Jesus what would my life look like and what would I do differently if I learnt the secret of being content because I know you?"

Let’s know our weaknesses and our confidence be in God not our human strength/capability- we stay on assignment, humbled by his presence and his mercy

Many treat weakness and failure as a liability. Postponing living, until everything is resolved. BUT Paul delighted in and boasted in his weaknesses. How did he gain this RADICALLY freeing perspective?

Jesus’ death is the most radical expression of complete trust, dependence and surrender.

In the Garden of Gethsemane, Jesus’ raw humanity is on display. Jesus is agonised and sorrowful. Gethsemane was the place of an incredible battle.

Jesus says I tell you the truth I'm telling you straight I can do nothing on my own. Not a single thing. Without dependence upon the Father, I would make no progress. I am incapable of anything. This isn't just an intellectual idea but a lived-out reality. Perfect synchronisation. The Son doesn’t and indeed the Son can’t—go his own way but stays in perfect step with the Father: “When the Father ac...

A personal story abou the living faith of mothers and grandmothers.

The three temptations are about our physical needs (satisfaction of the body) and desires (egotistic, materialistic, power) Quoting Scripture is not enough- the Devil can do it too: we need the Holy Spirit to write it in our Heart so that our minds and actions lines up with scriptures.

Fear and love come from two opposing kingdoms. Fear comes from the devil, who would like nothing more than to keep you permanently disconnected and isolated. Love comes from God, who is always working to heal and restore your connection with Himself and other people.

Many of us live with this thought “If I were just stronger, I could do so much more for God.” The Big Little Ones series is about dismantling this LIE. And replacing it with the TRUTH. “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.”

The ending of the Lord’s Prayer (not in every translation of the Bible) is like a worship song given to facilitate a worshipful, adoring response to God. Like a bookend to the prayer Jesus taught. Starts with who God is and His will and ends with the reality that it’s God’s kingdom and about His glory.

Shame is lethal. Shame is deadly, will crawl into every corner of our life and shape everything. How you see yourself, others, God. Guilt is I have DONE something wrong. I made a mistake. Made some poor choices/ decisions. Shame is I am wrong (Identity). I have failed to achieve an ideal and now I am bad. Shame undermines your identity.

In this section of the Lord's Prayer, we ask for God's grace and power to live in the freedom of the Kingdom of God.

Often we find it difficult to forgive genuinely and completely because we practice a form of forgiveness that is neither biblical nor healing.

This is as basic as it gets, asking God to provide food. Remember, Jesus’ audience is filled with poor people, struggling to get by during the Roman occupation. And here, he invites them to join their ancestors (Exodus 16:4-5) in the wilderness, trusting God for provision each and every day.
