From Ben – 13 March 2016

It may surprise you to know that we are only 2 weeks away from Easter 2016! It has come so quickly that I feel in many ways the year has just started. May I encourage you to start preparing now for Easter. I believe we will get most from this special time of the year…

Did you know that God calls us “the apple of his eye”? The prophet Zechariah employs this phrase in his word to God’s people who had returned to Jerusalem after their captivity in Babylon. He calls them to repent, to rebuild the temple, and to renew their hearts of love for the true God. For…

This has been a sad and somewhat difficult week for me. I have visited 3 of our people who have been laid up in hospital. One of them is seriously ill in intensive care, yet only last Sunday he worshipped enthusiastically with us and chatted with me in the lounge after the service. I have…

In my conversations with people recently I have been forcefully made aware once again of the effectiveness of using the networks that we have as Christians. What I mean is that we all have friends, relatives and contact people who know people, branching out into a wide network of relationships. As you speak to one…

Today we start our first study on the short, but powerful Old Testament prophet, Habakkuk. It is quite evident from the opening verses of Chapter 1 that he experienced the self-same problems and frustrations we all go through. He calls out to God, saying, “Why don’t you answer me and how long must I wait?”…

This is my first article for the new year. As I have considered all the potential and opportunities that lay ahead this year I want to direct your thoughts to the call of Scripture to make the most of every opportunity. It is a sobering thought to realise that time is passing and we can’t…

It is hard to believe but Christmas is just over 3 weeks away! As I have been reflecting on this year’s Christmas I am aware how little Christian content there is among all the commercial hype. May I encourage you as parents and grandparents, to start reading the Christmas stories with the children in your…

From Ben – 8 November 2015

ByTala November 7, 2015December 5, 2015

This past month I have been once again challenged over the subject of prayer. This time it has not been the need to pray more, but rather the importance of trusting God, that His will be done. Now some people say that when we pray, “Your will be done” we are simply hedging our bets,…

From Ben – 1 November 2015

ByTala November 7, 2015December 5, 2015

For a long time now I have wanted to look more deeply into Genesis 1-11. These first 11 chapters of the Bible introduce us to some of the most important themes developed in the rest of the Bible. It has been quite challenging to try to unclutter my thinking to try to understand what the…
