God of Grace, Genesis 6.5-10 

Sometimes people assume there is little grace in the OT. But actually it’s a book of grace from first to last. Take God’s dealings with Noah as an example…

Walking with God, Gen 5.1-29

Living in difficult times, Enoch still ‘walked with God’. these verses encourage us to do the same.

The Blame Game, Genesis 3.1-16

These foundational verses show us the reality of sin, but they also point to an even greater reality, that of God’s grace.

Our Potential and Our Frailty, Genesis 1.26-31; 2.7

We’re sometimes told it’s better to burn out than to rust out! This may be true, but is there a better, more biblical way to live? These early chapters of Genesis show us the answer.

122 The Glory of God, Mark 10.35-45

The glory of God sounds wonderful, and it is! But James and John really didn’t know what they were asking when they came to Jesus in our verses today. Jesus response to them reveals something profound about where his glory is to be found.

The God of Surprises, Luke 1.25-38

The incarnation, God made man and born of a woman, is surely the greatest surprise God has ever sprung on humanity! How is God surprising us in our lives today? And what if we responded not with a barrage of questions, but with quite obedience and trust?

The God Who Sees And Hears, Gen 16.1-13 

When we are in distress our God sees us hears us. We can rely on him.

Here I am, Jeremiah 1.1-14 (esp. vs7-8)

We can be called, recognise we’re equipped, but still feel afraid. This reflection will hopefully help us to say a resounding ‘Here I am’ to our God.

The God who calls, Jeremiah 1.1-14 

God calls us to be Jesus’ disciples and within that overarching and universal call there are specific things he gives us to do. But what if we recognise we’re called for something but feel inadequate for the task? Jeremiah faced this dilemma himself…

Responding to the Faithful God, Lamentations 3.19-27

God faithfully shows his love to us, a truth that is perfectly fulfilled in Jesus. But what if we’re in the same position as Jeremiah? What if we recognise God is faithful, yet struggle to see this in our current circumstances? These verses from Lamentations 3 show us how to respond when we’re ‘waiting’ for God to do something.
