But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions—it is by grace you have been saved.Ephesians 2:4I find it pretty easy to love those closest to me. To love those who love me back. The profound kindness of God is that He loved and showed mercy to the unlovable. We were like prisoners in a jail who spit and scream. We...  Read More

In him the whole building is joined together and rises to become a holy temple in the Lord. And in him you too are being built together to become a dwelling in whi...  Read More

33 “Now then, please let your servant remain here as my lord’s slave in place of the boy, and let the boy return with his brothers. 34 How can I go back to my father if the boy is not with me? No! Do not let me see the misery that would come on my father.”Genesis 49:33-34It was hard to cut an appropriately sized but also helpful passage from Genesis today. Let me give you a bit of backstory.There ...  Read More

We ought always to thank God for you, brothers and sisters, and rightly so, because your faith is growing more and more, and the love all of you have for one another is increasing.2 Thessalonians 1:3 I reckon we are pretty good at giving thanks for good things that happen to us. On Friday’s, when we sit down to family breakfast and talk about things we are thankful for, the first thing my kids tur...  Read More

39 He answered, “A wicked and adulterous generation asks for a sign! But none will be given it except the sign of the prophet Jonah. 40 For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of a huge fish, so the Son of Man will be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth. 41 The men of Nineveh will stand up at the judgment with this generation and condemn it; for they repented at...  Read More

Wisdom Wednesday

Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and vermin destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moths and vermin do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. Matthew 6:19-20We had a family friend growing up.

As for you, you were dead in your transgressions and sins, in which you used to live when you followed the ways of this world and of the ruler of the kingdom of the air, the spirit who is now at work in those who are disobedient. All of us also lived among them at one time, gratifying the cravings of our flesh and following its desires and thoughts. Like the rest, we were by nature deserving of wr...  Read More

Now, brothers and sisters, I want to remind you of the gospel I preached to you, which you received and on which you have taken your stand.

It was massive. A rope probably 20 metres high secured to a big gum bran...  Read More

Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.1 Thessalonians 5:16-18Many people spend a lot of time wrestling with ‘God’s will for their lives’. What does He want me to do? What job, who should I marry, where should I live etc. But the truth is, God’s will is relatively simple. It’s that we look to Him in all things, rejoicing, ...  Read More
