Seen and Heard by Dean Gardner In my teenage years I wrestled with the same searching questions that multitudes had asked before me – ‘Who am I?’ and ‘What is the meaning of my life?’ Along with deep inner confusion over my identity, I was troubled by the thought that if I died the world would go on as if I had never lived....

Lost by John Sainsbury Looking at the above verses from Luke’s gospel, what Luke records as one parable turns out to be three. All of them relate to the joy and celebration of finding or retrieving something that was lost. But why tell three stories that essentially cover the same idea? Why didn’t Jesus simply tell one?...

Striving by Jim Person When Tanya and I were new to the mission field, we both taught at a discipleship training school. After Tanya finished her teaching, I tried to one-up her and ‘wow’ the students with my brilliant teaching ability. Needless to say, I flopped. It was really bad.

Yes Please by Tracy Bankuti There is a type of heart disease not found in any medical books that is alive and well in the world today. It’s called ‘people pleasing’!

God of Surprises! by Patricia Lake For the disciples this was a ‘suddenly’ moment.

Lift Up Your Head by Ron Scurfield How is our walk with God? Is it burdensome, as if we’re carrying a heavy load, or is light and effortless as our eyes are fixed firmly on all that lies ahead? If we’re bowed down under a heavy weight, we can’t see the way forward. All we see is our feet, plodding on, one after the other. Sometimes...

King of Kings by Richard Griffiths As I write this, Syria is going through a crisis. Bashar al-Assad, their brutal dictator, has been driven out and the nation is in turmoil, with potentially global repercussions. For those living there, these are tumultuous and, in many ways, frightening times. What does the future hold? And there are...

When Life Throws You Lemons by Gilly Mathiesen Do you ever have one of those days or weeks where it seems like one thing after the other goes wrong and your patience gets a good workout? Being overseas recently, I found myself in an unusual situation. My mobile had zero signal and, being somewhere without wifi, I was faced with the stark reality...

The Potter by Margaret Silvester The potter is a wonderful biblical image of God. Job reminded God that His hands had shaped him, moulded him like clay, clothed him with skin and flesh, knit him together and given him life (Job 10:8-12). Obeying God’s command, Jeremiah went down to the potter’s house and watched the potter working...

Do You Want to Get Well? by Yulia Kariuki Have you ever thought why would Jesus ask such a question? Couldn’t He see the condition of the man and know that he’d been here for quite a long time? We find the story in John 5, where Jesus came to Jerusalem near the Sheep Gate (Bethesda) and saw many people who were unwell. His eyes were caught...
