"Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness..." (Genesis 1:26-28)

Jesus has authority and so is able to infuse our submitted weakness with His strength.

Those who build on rock will remain standing against the rain, waters and wind. (Matthew 7:25, 27)

Hearing is vital. However, Jesus makes it clear that hearing God’s word is not enough. We must do what He teaches.

We need to hear and keep building on the rock of the gospel. (Matthew 7:24-29)

To build on the rock, we must first hear Jesus' teaching (Matthew 7:24-29)

The broad way ends in the ‘fire’. The narrow way end in the ‘Kingdom of God’.

The narrow way is not just about not sinning, it’s also about actively doing God’s will. (Matthew 7:21-23)

How can we recognise so as to defend ourselves from false teachers? (Matthew 7:15-20)

We don’t have time to waste on what poisons us! (Matthew 7:15-20)

Jesus calls us to live narrow. We are to enter, defend and do the narrow. (Matthew 7:13-23)

Process saves us from the poverty of our intentions.

To pray is to love people as we would want to be loved.

The objective test of our faith in Jesus’ words is how we are actually persisting in prayer.

The New Testament is full of encouragement to pray faithfully.

How do we ‘pay attention to the plank in our own eye’?

Focus on your own flaws before you try to change others.

Relationships will always be strained on occasion. On top of this...

I love to hear stories of how people became Christians. God can bring anyone to Himself.

When something is worth it, we are prepared to search through whatever rubbish stands in the way to find it.
