Steve loves going to the movies and relaxing with his favourite show. Watch out and hold on to your popcorn though... Steve will likely have devoured the whole box well before the opening credits are even finished!
Discipleship is an essential part of being a follower of Christ. But what does it really look like to be a disciple – or to make disciples? Matthew 4:18-20 (NIV) As Jesus was walking beside the Sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon called Peter and his brother Andrew. They were casting a net […]
Christmas. It is one simple word that conveys a lot. Christmas is a common word that denotes a season that happens every year. Regardless of what else is happening in the world, Christmas is never cancelled. Yes, the expression of it may be amended, but December 25th will always be Christmas. Christmas is synonymous with […]
A united voice is powerful, whether it is for good or it is for evil. The Bible gives us a clear and contrasting example of both. THE TOWER OF BABEL In Genesis chapter 11 we read the story of the Tower of Babel. The starting point for this story was that ‘the whole world had […]
In the natural, we live life differently in summer than we do in winter. We are the same person, but what we wear, where we go, the sports we play, and the holidays we take are all subject to the season we are in. As the natural seasons significantly impact our lives, so too do […]
The creation of the whole world began with God and His design. You and I also started with God’s design, and our significance was noted before we were born. We are the result of God’s intention, not just the plan of our human parents. We were conceived in the mind of God before we were […]
As human beings, we are naturally curious. We like to know things and understand them. But is our ability to understand everything essential for spiritual growth and the development of spiritual gifts? No. In fact, a sign of spiritual maturity is an acceptance that there will always be things that are beyond our understanding. Job […]
People love to speculate on the End Times. I have heard many opinions from different people. Some have fought for the truth of their convictions, while others hazard a guess at what might possibly be. Many predicted dates for the End Times that have since come and gone… and we are still waiting. Does God […]
The call of God is anything God asks us to do; it’s God’s will. There are general calls: come to the Father through Jesus, talk to God in prayer, discover God in His Word, love people like Jesus loves us, be gentle, patient and kind, be self-controlled, live life according to God’s Word etc. Then […]
God is calling us to be people of greater influence. We are all called to be godly influencers, regardless of our calling or title. We cannot make disciples without influencing others! But we can easily lose our focus on influence and instead look towards success. The world’s focus is on success, and this focus is […]
God is a God of light, not a God of darkness. In a world where so much darkness abounds, this is a much-needed truth that we need a revelation of. We need to get our theology from God’s Word. 1 John 1:5-7 This is the message we have heard from Him and declare to you: […]
Jesus Christ is the anointed one. He is the Messiah, our deliverer, our Saviour, and our King. Matthew 1:1 in the NKJV states, “The book of the genealogy of Jesus Christ, the Son of David, the Son of Abraham.” When we look at the name Christ, it mainly points to two words and they are ‘Messiah’ and […]
What is the connection between our humility and our righteousness? Let’s look at the life of Jesus. Matthew 3:13-15 Then Jesus came from Galilee to John at the Jordan to be baptised by him. And John tried to prevent Him, saying, “I need to be baptised by You, and are You coming to me?” But […]
There are times when we desire something different to what God wants. Jesus was perfect and sinless, but He also had times of desiring something different to what His Father’s plan required of Him. At times, Jesus had a conflict of wills with His Father. Now this might sound wrong and terrible, but I need […]
Following the life and example of Jesus can be a hard act to follow. Or is it? Can we be so radically transformed by the goodness of God that whatever we do brings honour to the Father? Colossians 3:17 says, And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of […]
We live in a time when too many Christians accept such a small part of what God intends for our new life in Christ. We also live in a time when so many (myself included far too often) try hard to be good, rather than be filled to overflowing with the life-giving power of the […]
We all want to walk with freedom in our lives. But do we really understand our present possession in Christ? Jesus is our present possession as true Christians. Sometimes as Christians, we live too much in a future anticipation for what Jesus has legally provided for us now. If we have accepted Jesus as our Lord and Saviour, […]
Do you know that you are significant? That’s right: you are significant to God. Do you also know that God wants you to do something significant with your life? Significance speaks of substance and weight; it is about meaning, worth, importance, and impact… your life is significant. You might say “Steve, that’s just not possible. […]
Where do we get our interpretation of the Word of God from? Is it divine revelation, or is it our own opinions and ideas? It is important to have a correct definition of interpretation and to realign to what God authors. “What is your interpretation of this verse?” to most people would mean “What do […]
We want to see every believer become more like Jesus Christ in character and spiritual authority.
