In every case, this is followed by an action – Jesus heals, teaches, or performs a miracle. He saw a widow weeping, had compassion on her, and raised her son to life [Luke … More Compassion like Jesus’
In the last couple of years, I have seen the Lord grow my understanding of worship. Many years ago, I remember sitting at the piano, preparing for a service, and asking the Lord a few things. I wondered about memorising music, putting effort into preparation for worship sets, and about how to better lead the … More Worship Without Words
Our body is the temple of the Holy Spirit [1 Corinthians 3:16]. One thing I have recognised, is how intrinsically linked the health of our body can be to the health of our spirit. In the last month, I have been exhausted, even though I did not initially know this. In retrospect, I see how … More The Ministry of Rest P3 – Rest for Strength
