Hooked Together!
‘All of you together are the temple.’ 1 Corinthians 3:16 NLT A little boy was playing outside when a neighbour asked him where his brother was. ‘In the house,’ he replied. ‘We were playing a duet on the piano—but I finished first!’ That wasn’t what God intended when He called us to work together!

Finishing Strong
‘I must be about My Father’s business.’ Luke 2:49 NKJV If the word ‘quit’ is part of your vocabulary, chances are that the word ‘finish’ isn’t. Finishing means staying on the job until it’s done. It’s about accountability and action, because even when you’re on the right track you’ll get run over if you […]
Be a Finisher
‘I have finished the work You gave Me.’ John 17:4 GNT Unfinished business drains your energy without you even realising it. William James said, ‘There is nothing so fatiguing as an uncompleted task.’ And the internet has made the problem worse, because now you get more ‘messages’ in one day than you used to […]
Trade-Offs (2)
‘Hard work brings a profit.’ Proverbs 14:23 NIV As you climb higher and accumulate more, you’ll discover that it’s harder to let go of what you’ve worked for. That’s why so many of us climb part–way up the mountain of our potential, and stop. We’re unwilling to give up what we have, in order […]
Trade-Offs (1)
‘I consider everything a loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ.’ Philippians 3:8 NIV No matter how hard you try, you can’t ‘have it all’. Life’s too short! There are trade–offs you must be willing to make. In Matthew chapter 19 we read the story of the man who wanted to follow […]
What Do You Treasure Most?
‘Where your treasure is…there your heart will be also.’ Matthew 6:21 NIV If your house was burning down and you could only save one thing, what would it be? It’s a decision people make every day, and it’s never easy. There’ll always be things we grieve about giving up because of their intrinsic value […]
Go in His Strength
‘Go in the strength you have…Am I not sending you?’ Judges 6:14 NIV It’s said, ‘There’s nothing stranger than people, but there’s nothing more important!’ Jesus understood that principle. He spent His life as ‘one who serves.’ (Luke 22:27 NIV) He ministered to society’s outcasts. He sought out the one sheep that was lost […]
Stop Trying to Second-Guess God
‘Nor are your ways My ways.’ Isaiah 55:8 NKJV Are you doing what you believe to be God’s will, yet things aren’t working out like you expected? God has a different perspective—a better one. It’s ok to question Him, but not to doubt and second–guess Him. In His Word He says, ‘My thoughts are […]
