  • Wisdom - Jesus was not a Christian

    What we call Christianity was created by people not God.

    Jesus is bigger than Christianity, he’s not a joiner of groups or the head of a denomination. He’s not a fan of religion which Christianity has often been reduced to. 

    All forms of tribalism were created by us including denominationalism. 

    I’m a Christian but that doesn’t define me or Jesus or you. 

    I love and follow Jesus but often Christianity tells me how, where and when to do that like an instruction manual for an object I bought. 

    Let’s not reduce Jesus to our Christian tribe or any tribe. If Jesus has a group it’s the humanity group.

    The cross was not for the church, it was for the world.

  • Wisdom - Common Ground

    In this divided world commit to finding common ground with people who see things differently to you.

    Unlike uncommon ground common ground has to be sought after because we are increasingly defaulting to our differences.
    You have more in common with people than you think.

  • Image of Self - part 3

    We were all created in the image of God; therefore God has a self image. We are like God and God is like us. Often our self image is unrealistic, we think ourselves capable of or ready for something we aren’t.

    Like Peter promising he would never forsake Jesus, then denied him three times; we too can have an unrealistic self image. The great news is that grace holds us between images, between where we are and where we want to be.

    This teaching also deals with our need for self awareness in discovering our unique God given personality type.

  • Leadership - Changed focus

    Be intentional about endings because a weak finish can hinder a strong start. Endings don’t have to be pretty or tidy some are like tying down a tent rope in a storm at night.

    The environment is often too hostile and you don’t have the the luxury of lots of time or light to do a neat job on the ropes.  Tie things up best you can and move on.

  • Excellence - Q&A Interview

    Excellence is the Cinderella of Church life.

    One of my greatest challenges as a pastor here in the north of England was to create a culture of excellence in everything we did.
    Having seen so many churches being run by the two ugly step sisters of ‘it’ll do’ and ‘good enough’ I was determined to at least attempt to build a place of excellence despite being volunteer dependent and having no corporate leverage.
    In fact the only excellence that counts is voluntary excellence ie excellence that comes from within not from some external coercion.
    It’s time we brought Cinderella from below stairs and kicked out her ugly sisters.
