When life gets tricky we can go all sorts of places to find guidance. But it is in prayer and being filled by the Spirit that we find the better way. Frank Mussel's words remind us today.

Frank Mussel shows us that remembering what God has done in the past can give us   great hope for the future.

Frank Mussel's great book guides us this week. Today he reminds us that a word or act of encouragement can change someone's life. Who can you encourage today?

A great early Methodist "pioneer preacher" was Francis Asbury. His dedication to prayer gave him remarkable passion and zeal for his calling. Let's learn from his prayerfulness today.

John Berridge was a brilliant preacher - but he knew that it took more than preaching to sustain the people. They needed community. So do we.

William Grimshaw would leave church before the sermon to quickly invite anybody he could find in to hear the good news. How committed are we to inviting others to hear? How could someone's life change if we simply invited them?

Early Methodist preachers were persecuted and often hurt. But they harboured no bitterness or unforgiveness to their persecutors - much like Jesus on the cross forgiving the soldiers. What about us?

It was not just John Wesley who formed the Methodist movement - he had helpers! Take John Fletcher, a man who everyone revered greatly. All he wanted in life was "more of God's grace". Are we content like him?

In a dark world, we need a light to guide us. The Psalmist writes that God's Word is a lamp, leading the way. Is it for you? Perhaps you need to take on AW Tozer's challenge and go deeper into the Word for the next month.

Jeremiah said that God's people had forsaken the living water and built their own cisterns. Have we? Or can we sing with John Barnett today, "Your Spirit is like water to my soul"?
