We often get irritated with people in need, but Jesus took time for them. His parable of the good Samaritan reminds us that we can be "religious" people who still fail to take time for those in need.

Like the prophets of old, Jesus is angered when he sees injustice. Are we?

In a world where lepers were despised, Jesus had compassion on him. Are you able to value people, even those you normally want to distance yourself from? Do you recognize God in them?

Have you heard of Simeon Stylites? He lived most of his life on top of a pillar, to get away from people. Imagine if Jesus did the same! Thankfully, he didn't.

Nicole Dickson from Institute for Creative Conversation joins me today to share on the power of our stories, as we reflect on the chorus of a favourite hymn: "this is my story, this is my song"...

Inspiration from the classic hymn. It turns our that "perfect obedience" leads to "perfect rest", being "happy and blessed" with Jesus our Saviour. And so let us set our hearts on minds on things above and be "lost in his love"!

Inspiration from the classic hymn. Today we learn that "submission" and "delight" are in fact connected when it comes to God. We can find "echoes of mercy, whispers of love" throughout our days, when we submit to God.

Inspiration from the classic hymn. We are "co-heirs" with Christ - promised a wonderful inheritance from our Father. Are you living like an heir today?

One of the world's all time favourite hymns is "Blessed Assurance" by Fanny Crosby. May you receive the wonderful gift of assurance so that you too can sing "Jesus is mine" and mean it!

We close our devotions on I'll Push You as learn what real church looks like. It's not about the building - it's about the life in community, journeying together and pushing each other up the hill.
