I remember seeing a Facebook post a mate of mine had posted recently and it said this: “Jesus leaving the 99 to find 1 seems irrational and senseless – until that 1 is you.” Over this year I have been trying to reflect a little bit about the grace of God and the rescue mission […]
This is part two of a blog series on finding the narrow path in every situation of life. This week, Jon explores what it looks like to ‘trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths […]
It had been a particularly tough first few months of the year. My wife and I had become increasingly aware that our son was not going to make it into mainstream school. We sat in a number of education healthcare planning meetings, listening to one missed target after another. As parents, we had been saying […]
FIVE: Master of YOUR universe We made it, the final blog. Thank you for joining me on this journey, I wanted to finish this series with a simple invite. We started by exploring who Jesus claimed to be, set against his statement that all authority on earth and in heaven was his, ie him being […]
FOUR: Master of the spiritual universe OK, so I said last week that I wanted to separate the supernatural universe from the spiritual one, and this is why. Jesus deals with something called sin, and this is so important that it needed a blog on its own. In this series I have wanted to show […]
THREE: Master of the supernatural universe I want to reflect a bit in this blog about how Jesus was master of the supernatural universe. I will deal specifically with the ‘spiritual’ universe in the next blog, (ie sin), so this is about the supernatural. I grew up in the UK and to be totally honest, […]

The videos that gradually emerged of this tsunami were utterly horrifying, the speed and ferocity of the wave brought […]
I grew up watching plenty of cartoons, and the best, by far was He Man, Master of the Universe. I am sure you know exactly who I am on about, but just in case you don’t, He Man was amazing. Muscles on muscles, a beautiful mop of golden hair in a mullet, and a spandex […]
“How was your holiday?” “Oh yeah. We had an amazing time. We got this amazing deal at this amazing hotel which was amazingly cheap. The weather was just, well, amazing. Didn’t you see the pictures on Facebook? They were amazing.” And you think about your holiday…Well Piddle-Sea On-the-Swamp isn’t too bad now they’ve reduced the […]
30 For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.” Matthew 11:30 (NIV) Maybe you have read this verse before and it has been an inspiration to you, I know that’s true for me. I was recently at the men’s group I am part of, and one of the guys, Rick, shared this bible verse […]
