I thought it might be fun to just do a quick top 3 on ideas for men’s events – we love a top 3 at CVM so the next three articles/blogs from me are exactly that. Without further ado, number 3… FIRE There is something primal about a fire that doesn’t need to be dressed […]
Recently the men’s group that I am part of ran an event called MOB (doesn’t stand for anything, just a MOB of men!), and I think it has great potential to help us link up with other men’s groups, churches and become something of a catalyst to encourage men to get together. MOB is based […]
I imagine that a lot of you grew up like me hearing first-hand accounts of wars from relatives that had lived through them. Some of the stories were funny, some sad and some miraculous. Some of you reading this will have seen conflict first-hand, I myself have not and only possess a poor understanding of […]

An amazing story of faith, courage, solidarity and the Power of God which changed the outlook of the most powerful man in the ancient Middle Eastern world. Read this: Daniel Chap 3 v 1-27. Rap this, out loud: Neb built a golden statue—that’s expensive! It musta’ made the people apprehensive. Lovin’ it or cursin’ it, […]
Struggling with your faith and its outworking? Two people recently have shown me the contemporary truth of transforming grace in their lives (Romans 12:1-2). The second I know, the first I don’t.
