Feeling Sow Sow  

2 Corinthians 9:5-7  

The great thing about a seed is its unlimited potential - unless you eat it.  Sow the seed and it will produce even more seeds, which can be resown and resown again - constant growth.  Unless you eat the all the seeds.  God wants us to be sowers and loving it.

Bon Appetit  

1 Corinthians 6:14  

That's a saying I've never needed encouragement in before a meal - I always love to eat.  But of course not all eating is good for us, so how do we learn to balance what we need with what is good for us?  

Hunger Games  

1 Corinthians 6:13  

The movie creates a scenario where there are limited resources and only one winner.  A metaphor for life?  It sounds like hell but it's the way we are trained to live on planet earth.  Surely God has something better than hunger?  

AGM Sunday  

This week we have our Annual General Meeting, and as is our custom we take time to reflect on all the wonderful things God has done at Hope Central in 2018 and into 2019.  Hear stats and stories and be inspired for what he has laid in front of us for the coming year.  

I Have a Need for ... Restoration - Peter Heyworth  

Isaiah 42:5-10  

The Tension!  You know what I mean, the tension of knowing that things are just not right.  We can be somewhat aware of our weaknesses and failings, and feel the tension of not being what we believe we should be.  We want restoration, to a better us.  What does that look like?  

Who's Your Daddy? - Steve Crouch  

Romans 8:14-16  

Relationships!  Opening up to others.  Are we able to really be ourselves to others?  How vulnerable and transparent are we?  Perhaps we aren't, because we don't see ourselves well.  How we relate to others is dependant on how we see ourselves, and sometimes also on how others see us.  The same goes for our relationship with God.  

Passion, Purpose and Process - Peter Heyworth  

Colossians 1:24-2:5  

Motivation!  So often we are encouraged and admonished to be motivated for all kinds of things in life.  It is only natural that we ask ourselves what our motivation should be for our christian walk.  

The Difference Between Shepherds and Hirelings  

1 Corinthians 4:14-16  

Mentors can have such huge influence in our lives.  They can impact how we approach different situations and questions.  They can help forge our thought patterns, our self worth and the way we relate to the rest of the world.  How then do we know the difference between a god mentor and a misleading mentor?  

The Difference Between Sacrifice and Surveys  

Mother's Day  

1 Corinthians 4:14-15  

Paul says, "But we were gentle among you, like a nursing mother taking care of her own children." 1Thessalonians 2:7.  Why is the most powerful recommendation for advice the care and sacrifice of the source?
