In Matthew 13, we are given many images, or parables to aid our understanding of the Kingdom of God. The Kingdom of God is like: A mustard seed (v.31-32) “ … which a man took and sowed in his field, which indeed is the least of all the seeds; but when it is grown it … More Ebenezer P2 – Builders with God
Our first home was more than we expected – both in its physical form, and in the spiritual lessons we learnt. God provided in abundance, and encouraged us when doubts began to creep in. We lowered our expectations at certain times thinking perhaps things were not possible, but God exceeded that original bigger vision we … More Ebenezer P1 (Testimony of Our First Home)
Through my years with the Lord, I have learnt many new things. Yet I find, again and again, that there is still more I do not know! My God is so vast in who He is, His love so great, and His understanding so deep. Yet, God dares to share some of His incredible insight … More The Power of Conviction
When we first felt the Lord whisper hints of a new season, we were not too sure exactly what that would entail. Each one in our family shared their little snippets of instruction from the Lord, and we eventually ended up at our current church. In the last two years at this church, we have … More Let the Winds Blow
In our marriage, we have found that there is wisdom to be learnt in the stewardship of finances. I veer towards the motto of: Give generously, and God will provide.

The walls of my room are getting a little make-over. I have been taking down what has accumulated of many years spent snuggling up in blankets, early morning sketches, and middle of the night revelations. The walls have the usual postcards and photos, but there are also many drawings. I’m not the best artist (hence … More Insight – Identity, Anger and Prophesy
There are days when I read the word of God and am amazed by every second word. It seems there is a revelation waiting to be found in every sentence and my heart cries out with wonder at the mysteries of God. Then, there are times of weariness – physical, and spiritual, when my mind … More Worship on the Wave of Weariness
Last week, my church home fellowship group did something interesting. Around the room were different stations, a variety of challenges, questions and things to ponder – paper to draw out a picture of worship, playdough to make and break idols, string to hang blessings, a cross to pin on burdens, the word of God, a … More Posturing Before God
The Jesus Worldview The supremacy of Christ – is He real, is He true, is He eternal? Jesus must be one of the most well-known personages of this earth, yet the nature of who He really is seems to be one of the most ferociously debated topics. I have witnessed and taken part in some … More “Who do you say that I am?”
The idea of the Sabbath has been revered, disputed and despised. Yet, there is an aura of reverence that surrounds it. I have found myself thinking more about the Sabbath as I adjust to a working lifestyle. Work has been interesting and I have been enjoying it, but I realised, on my first full weekend … More A Sabbath Bath
