Growing in Faith Through Study: A Discipline for Spiritual Maturity

Week 14

When we look carefully at the teaching of Scripture, we realise that spiritual growth does not happen automatically. Time, by itself, does not produce maturity. It simply reveals whether there is genuine commitment to the truth God has already given.

The author of Hebrews offers a direct warning. People who should have progressed are still at an early stage…

From One Promise to All: Seeing God’s Plan This Easter

Week 13

When God spoke to Abraham saying, “Lift up your eyes… all the land that you see I will give to you and your offspring forever” (Genesis 13:14–15), it may seem like a personal blessing. But it was the beginning of something far greater. Through Abraham, God was unfolding a plan that would extend beyond one family, one nation, or one generation. That plan finds its fulfillment in Jesus, and Easter reveals the full picture…

When God Leads Your Work — Clearly or Quietly

Week 12

We often long for moments like this. Clear direction. A defined calling. A sense that God has spoken into our work, our decisions, our next step.

In Acts 13, that’s exactly what happens. In the middle of worship and fasting, God speaks. The mission becomes visible. The next move is unmistakable.

Week 9

Apart from Me you can do nothing.” That statement confronts the modern professional mind. We are trained to believe the opposite. With the right credentials, strategy, network, and discipline, we can accomplish almost anything. Results reinforce that belief. Promotions, successful projects, and measurable impact become quiet evidence of personal capability…

Living and Working from a Settled Heart

Week 4

Every morning, I have this desire: to start the day in stillness, calmness, alone with God, receiving His goodness. I crave that refreshing stillness with God, soaking in His goodness like a cool drink after a long day. But honestly? The clock stares me down, and my brain races: "Hurry up and meditate so I can get to work!" We laugh about it, but it's real. In our high-octane world, we treat stillness like a checkbox.

From Rest to a Renewed Mind: How God’s Word Shapes Our Work

Week 3
As the year gathers pace, with full diaries, constant decisions, and mounting pressure, we are invited to something that feels simple, yet deeply formative: to pause before God. This pause is not about stepping away from our work. It is about making sure our work is not shaped only by urgency, pressure, or other people’s expectations. Intentional stillness sustains our daily calling and gives direction to the choices we make each day.

Boat, Seed and Storm - What Mark 4 teaches us about living out our faith at work

Opening the Year - Week 1

This morning I was reading Mark, chapter 4. It is a dense and layered passage. Much could be explored here, but three words stood out clearly to me: boat, seed, and storm.

I could not help connecting this chapter with this particular season of the year. 2026 has begun. Plans have been drafted, goals defined, decisions made. The holiday greetings are behind us, and routine has returned. The question that remains is both simple and uncomfortable: where does Christ truly fit into this new cycle?
