We can all know great hope and light in our lives. In so many ways and for so many people this has been a particularly dark year. More than ever we all need the light of the Christmas message. Thankfully the coming of Jesus into the world means that we can experience His bright guiding light even in the darkest of times.      Even when there is so much gloom all around, you can discover the glory...

Christmas is a very special time when our church family in the UK and in SA joins with millions who are celebrating the light of Jesus. But have you seen the light of Christmas?      Bright lights are associated with Christmas because it was a radiant bright light that startled the shepherds when the angel announced the birth of Jesus to them. And it was also a bright star that rose to lead the wi...

The apostle Paul proclaims that all true freedom is rooted in Jesus Christ, through following His teachings and by knowing Him. That freedom, which begins with us experiencing personal spiritual freedom, leads to many other freedoms in life and in society.      The apostle Paul outlines the big differences between religion, which is based in rules and practices, and true Christianity, which is bas...

God wants you to live in freedom in every area of your life. But you need help: the help of the Holy Spirit. The greatest declaration of freedom comes from the writings of the apostle Paul, in the book of Galatians 5:1 which states: ‘It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery.’     The book of Galatians, which h...

Have you messed up in your life? Do you know how much God wants you to experience His amazing grace? One of the most famous stories that Jesus told is the Prodigal Son. The Prodigal Son is a story of two sons who took very different paths in life. One was outwardly respectable; the other was a rebel. One looked good; the other acted badly. One seemed like the perfect churchgoer; the other a sinner...

Are you a driven person? Do you know the unconditional love of God? English author Charles Dickens famously wrote ‘A tale of two cities,’ a novel set in London and Paris before and during the French Revolution. But Jesus told an even more famous story about two brothers. One is very well known as the Prodigal son, who got into big trouble by living a wild and rebellious life but who then returned...

Do you know how much God loves you? Do you understand that God will help you through every problem you face? Whatever you are facing or feeling right now, you are going to make it in life and see many future blessings. How you see yourself and how you act is of great significance in any area of life and particularly in the Christian life. That is also the theme of the book of Galatians which we ar...

Do you know how much you matter to God? Do you understand how much you can help to bring value and reconciliation to others? The greatest movement on earth for freedom is the church of Jesus Christ. Or so it should be. For when individuals have their own personal experience of freedom in Christ, they become part of a community that is called to model liberation from deep divisions and old prejudic...

In our studies on Galatians called ‘Living in Freedom’, we see in chapter 3 that the apostle Paul couldn’t believe that so many believers had drifted so far and so quickly from a simple faith in Christ and needed to be urgently rescued from living in a religious way (Galatians 3:1). Magic and sorcery were common in Paul’s day. Magicians used both optical illusions and Satan’s power to perform mira...

The world we live in today is a warzone, whether looking at global conflicts, in the political area, or even conflict closer to home, in marriages, in families and in day-to-day life. Each of us also face our own personal battles, whether in your health, finances or career.       Few people like conflict and most of us would just like a quiet life but many times we must fight in some way or other...

In his letter to the Galatians, Paul urged them not to be bound by region and not to be justified by the works of the law but through faith in Jesus Christ. He was amazed how they were going off track. Paul was trying to keep the church on the main road of what Christianity was and still is all about.     Christianity is about being saved by the grace of God, nothing about what we do or religion:...

The book of Galatians in the Bible is known as the Magna Carta of Christianity. Paul's letter to the Galatians, long before Magna Carta in 1215, proclaimed Freedom for all people through faith in Jesus Christ. Galatians 5:1 says: ‘it is for freedom that Christ has set us free.’     Jesus came to liberate everyone from the slavery of sin and condemnation so that each one of us can live lives enjoyi...

In the midst of so much upheaval in the world, negative news, so much noise and fear, it is easy to lose your peace and focus all that is going wrong around you. There are noises that begin to reach our heart, noises that take away our peace: the noise of illness, the noise of anxiety, of separation, bankruptcy, a family member who has died, the noise of fear of death and the future, of a diagnosi...

Do you want to experience new beginnings and new blessings? Do you want to know how to succeed in your life and ministry? If so, you must learn how to prepare for great conquest.    In the first days of June 1967 Israel faced the prospect of another holocaust. Egyptian President Gamal Abdel Nassar, leader of the Arab world, mobilised vast armies for war, declaring ‘our basic objective will be to d...

This is a new season as we come into Autumn, but also spiritually where God is at work amongst us in new ways. So we are going to start a two-part preparation based on Joshua chapter 1. This story is very relevant to us. It came at a time when a whole generation who left Egypt with great promise for the promised land - but they never made it.     A whole generation fell by the wayside because of u...

Do you know that your tongue holds the power to destroy or to give life? If you are longing for a breakthrough in your health, or in any other area, you must learn how to speak words of life and avoid declarations of self-defeat.    We live in an increasingly voice-activated universe. Phones and tablets, cars and gadgets are increasingly being programmed to recognise and respond to what we say. Bu...

We can play our part in seeing God do amazing things in our lives and the lives of others, by activating our faith. By definition, a miracle is a divine operation that happens outside of the laws of nature; it cannot be explained upon any natural basis. Amazingly, Jesus taught His disciples that God would do whatever we ask if we have faith, so faith is key to seeing miracles (Matthew 21:22). Even...

Do you feel trapped in any area of your life? Do you know that you can be set free by God’s power? Both Christians and non-Christians need to understand that the God of the Bible is a God of miracles. He can do supernaturally what is not possibly naturally. Nothing is impossible for God.      Miracles come in many forms. There may be miracles of financial provision or miracles of children being bo...

Are you desperate to see changes in your life? Do you need to see urgent answers in your family or your health, finances or ministry? You may very well have a desperate need right now. There are so many battles that come up in life, so many challenges. Whether this is in family life or your finances or even in your health. But there is hope for you. There is hope for you even if you’ve actually ha...

Dreams speak of possibilities and impossibilities that become realities. Dreams are powerful. God loves each one of us more than we realise and wants to bless us and make us a blessing to others. You are not a failure. You can succeed in your life, in your studies, your career and ministry. (see stories of James Irwin, Nelson Mandela, Martin Luther King Jnr).    You can be more than you think you...

Looking at the recent change of government, it’s very clear that a lot of people were looking for a new beginning and were prepared to vote differently in this General Election in the hope of bringing it about. As Christians we take seriously our responsibility to be a force for good in society and should continue to pray daily for our government.        And so people many are crying out for real...

Do you want to know an unconditional love? Do you want to know an end to restlessness in your heart and the emptiness in your soul? There is no job, person, or accomplishment that can fill that place inside of you. You need to come near to Jesus and let Him speak to your heart. No one is off limits to God. More than you may have realised God wants to help you and show you His amazing grace and fav...

Britain has become a great spiritual battleground where the Christian identity of this nation is under attack on many fronts. This is no time for churches across this land to be divided and distracted by worldly cares and ambitions. This is a time to fight the good fight of faith and love, and in Sir Winston Churchill’s words, to be determined that ‘we will never surrender’ our spiritual freedoms...

Churches across the UK have come together this weekend for the G12 UK Conference 2024: The Great Harvest. This week’s online service is the preach that Pastor Wes shared at the 2023 conference:    Today we have before us a fresh opportunity to play our part in the re-evangelism of this nation and other nations. Each one of us, each individual, couple, family, and church, can make a big difference...

You can experience many blessings in your life. But to reap the best results you must be careful to sow the right seeds with your words and actions.     Just as with William Wilberforce who had sowed so many good seeds, it was only by persevering that he was able to finally come to a great moment of reaping. (See the story of William Wilberforce from the podcast/online programme).    In Galatians...
