Real power is not found in the control and rule of others, but in wilful submission to God. (John 19:1-16)

The real question today, the life changing, life making, life shaping question is not what is truth, but who is truth? (John 18:28-40)

It is in Christ and through the conviction of the Holy Spirit that we can identify, repent, receive forgiveness and find healing for the sin that so often bubbles to the surface as the undesirable behaviours that embarrass us. Behaviours that we try in vein to fix and fight in […]

It is our unity on display that will convince the world that God loves us. And if the world is convinced that God loves us, then that means they have also been convinced that God is real and that the story we proclaim about Jesus is true. (John 17:20-26)

There is no higher calling, no higher purpose than to live a life that glorifies God. (John 17:1-5)

To take heart, is to take courage, it is a command and a promise. It is a promise because the one commanding us to take heart is the same one who will give us a heart that can have courage. (John 16:16-33)

Without the Spirit of God, we allow the world to define sin, righteousness and judgement with its laws. Laws that are forever changing, forever increasing in number and laws that we have no hope of truly keeping. (John 15:26-16:15)

John 13 – Unless we allow Jesus to serve us, by cleansing us of our sins, through dying for us, we can have no part in him, and to have no part in him is to have no part in his kingdom.

John 12 – Be transformed by the one who loves you and not the things that consume you.
