    When Anna met Jesus…Encounters with Jesus

    Morning everyone, this is the first post in our series about encounters with Jesus written by Andy B who you may know from Pure 24/7 Radio. There is something very special in this story which I hope inspires you today. It might seem slightly unusual to start with Anna’s story especially given Jesus is a…

  • Encounters with Jesus..

    Encounters with Jesus..

    I am excited to share this series again about encounters people had with Jesus and how those encounters impacted them. The gospels are full of stories of people meeting Jesus…all sorts of different people..rich, poor, educated, religious leaders, foreigners, the sick and dying, the outcasts, prisoners, authority figures and ordinary folk…..people we can all identify…

    Come and See Jesus this Christmas..

    I was thinking yesterday of how so many Christmas songs and carols invite us to come and see and to come and take part in the wonder of Christmas. It reminded me of the invitation Jesus extends to all of us….come and see. This Christmas we extend the invitation to others to “Come and see”…

    Re-United…

    It’s wonderful to witness moments of reunion between those who have been apart. The joy on their faces as they rush in with open arms to be embraced by love, standing tight together cocooned in the joy of reunion. It’s painful when we are kept apart from those we love..our family or friends. We miss…
