Jesus
Shepherds – the first responders
Our next character in the Christmas story is the shepherds. They were the first responders to the news that Jesus was born. They heard the angel proclaiming it and saw the heavenly host singing. But what was the reason the shepherds were chosen. Is it because they were the only ones our on a dark night or was it something deeper. Read more to find out.
Mary – a humble heart
The next character in our Christmas story is Mary. Mary was a young teenage girl who was engaged to Joseph. She was busily preparing for her wedding when her plans were disrupted.

To know of or know God
My question is do you know of God or do you know God? If your dad was famous, would you wait for an appointment or just go boldly and confidently into his office. Of course it would be the latter. So how do you approach God? Which way? That will tell you about whether you know God or know of God. Read more to find out how.
The unlikely ones
Do you sometimes feel that you fall into the category of unlikely one? You think that you sin is to big for Jesus to save you, you feel your culture is too far away from God or people have spoken negative things over your life based on their perceptions. Well that’s not true. Jesus came for the unlikely ones. The apostle Paul fell into that category. He called himself the worst of sinners. How does God feel about you. Keep reading to find out more.
What if there was no cross
I always find the story about Jesus’ death on the cross so sad. But a few weeks ago, God whispered these words to me - Karen what if there was no cross. Those words spoke deeply to me and I realised that the cross is powerful and changed everything - not only for those that believe but for the whole world. Can you imagine the world now if there was no cross? Read on to find out more.
What role Don’t You like
As we go through life, there are certain people we don’t like or get along with. Jesus tells us to love our neighbour, which is all people but how do we do this. God spoke to me a few weeks ago and said it is only this role that you don’t like. I know that we can love people but not like their actions or the role they are playing. This is how we agape love people.
Don’t always react
It’s hard to not react to a situation when it comes up, especially if we think it’s urgent. We most often run and try to fix it but there is a better way. When Jesus was told one of His best friends had died, He stayed in the place where He was for two more days. Then God gave Him the clearance to go. What did He find? Lazarus had already died. But there was a greater miracle about to happen. Read more and see what it was and why we shouldn’t always react.
Miracle does not mean provision
When your bill needs to be paid and you can’t pay it, do you expect a miracle. God has better for you and it’s called provision. The ability to believe God’s Word and see it come to pass. It’s also called faith. This blog will show you the difference and how to go from miracle to provision.
For the joy set before us
During those periods that are hard, keep trusting Jesus and focus on the end result- the joy set before us.
