Feed My Lambs, Feed My Sheep
These were the instructions which Jesus gave to his disciple Simon Peter, when he met him again in Galilee after His death and resurrection. This was the same Simon Peter who had denied knowing Jesus in his time of trial. Jesus had told Peter that he would deny Him, but Peter had protested that he…

Cast off the grave clothes
Morning, this is my last re-post for the Easter season which I hope blesses and encourages you for the week ahead. When Jesus rose from the dead, He left his grave clothes in the tomb. I want to say that again- He left his grave clothes in the tomb. Why. Jesus didn’t need them anymore.…

Fresh Bread (4) God’s Banqueting table
During this Holy Week as we consider the death and resurrection of Jesus, I am reminded of God’s banqueting table and that His banner over us there is love. Those words are from the Song of Solomon “He brought me to the banqueting house,And his banner over me was love.” Song of Songs 2.4 NKJV…

Fresh Bread (3) Feeding others..
The miracle of the feeding of the five thousand by Jesus has much to teach us today and is told in all four gospels. It’s such a well known miracle but this verse from Mark’s gospel really stood out to me. “But He (Jesus) answered and said to them, “You give them something to eat.”…

Fresh Bread..
Mmmmm. The smell of fresh bread straight from the oven. Is there anything better? The smell itself gets our tastebuds working and brings an anticipation of the delights ahead of us.

Talking the World’s Language 2
I posted recently about Talking the world’s language. As Christians we speak a different language to the world. I know that there are many great blog sites and writers on WordPress who help us as followers of Jesus recognise false teaching and false doctrine. Thank you to those brothers and sisters in Christ for the…

Always check the power supply…
My post yesterday Are you connected to the source?reminded me of a previous post on the same theme. I must be a slow learner but the Lord is very gracious to keep working on me. I’m glad He does. Always check the power supply….. Those were the words of the electrician as he left our…

Are you connected to the source?
This was the question the Lord prompted me to ask our fellowship last week. Are we connected to the source? Imagine trying to operate and use any electrical appliance without it being connected to a source of electricity. It needs electricity’s power to fully function as intended. So we too as believers in Christ Jesus…
