What is Leviticus all about?

Today Simon delves into and summarises the main messages of the book of Leviticus reminding us that God is Holy, that sin is serious, God provides atonement by the shedding of blood (pointing to Jesus) and that we should be holy because God is holy.

Today Howard shares a few thoughts about the witness that we have to others by reading about the demon possessed man which can be found in Mark 5: 1 - 20.

Who is your God?

Today Mark encourages us to know a joyful Jesus that provides for us, turns water into wine, sinners into saints, fear into courage, sorrow into joy, defeat into victory, despair into hope and death into life. 

Joy comes from knowing who Jesus is.

Do you know Jesus as your Lord and Saviour but sometimes find yourself weak and ineffective? Or perhaps you are someone who is hard or hostile, refusing to acknowledge Christ despite the evidence around you of his power and his working?

Today Gwen shares of four groups of people that are represented in Mark 9: 14 - 29 and helps us to understand which group we identify with.

We've all faced cancellations of some sort, you might feel that your relationship with God has been cancelled or the connection has been lost.

Today Sue shares some thoughts about Mary and Martha on their differing personalities and reminds us that we should prioritise being in God's presence, sitting at His feet and soaking up His words.

The word lost can be used in lots of scenarios: being lost having gone the wrong way, having lost a loved one (if they know Jesus then they are not lost but are home), being a lost cause.

No matter what lost you feel right now, we are not lost to Jesus, He wants you to find Him and know that He loves you.

Today, Carole shares some stories of times where people have felt lost and reminds us that Jesus is our guide and shows us His way.

Have you ever said: "if God loves me, then why does He allow so many difficulties and trials to come into my life?"

If you have, then you are in good company because throughout the centuries, many Christians have responded to their troubles with similar words.

Today Simon shares some encouragement as to God's purpose in permitting trials and difficulties in our lives.

Today Ruth shares two more positive thoughts which she encourages us to grow and cultivate in the garden of our minds
