Too much information

July 19, 2023 05:00 - 2 minutes - 1.99 MB

God doesn't care about my feelings, or does He?

July 03, 2023 00:00 - 1 minute - 1.26 MB

Sometimes when you feel weighed down by the hard bits in life, it is easy to think that you are on your own, that God doesn't care about you and what you are going through.  It is easy to say that God doesn't care about your feelings. But is this really true?  Support the show

God rest ye merry gentlemen. Finding God's peace.

December 19, 2022 10:00 - 2 minutes - 1.8 MB

We are often too busy at Christmas to give much thought to what happened all those years  ago, the events that we actually celebrate on December 25th each year.  But the Gospel message is found in the Carols we sing. Songs that lodge in our hearts and our heads, that lead us into the wonderful joy and peace of who Jesus Christ is. Our Emmanuel, God with us, God for us.  As we head into this Christmas Season, remember who it is we are celebrating.  Support the show

Let us not be disappointed for God has given us His love

November 22, 2022 12:00 - 2 minutes - 1.66 MB

We go through life either choosing God's love, or turning out back on it.  But what's the consequence of this? We know that we have his love, because Jesus died on the cross. Why not open our hearts and give God's love full reign. We know that we have his love, because Jesus died on the cross.  Support the show

October 10, 2022 10:00 - 3 minutes - 2.49 MB

Hidden Agendas

September 11, 2022 08:00 - 2 minutes - 1.86 MB

We all have hidden agendas. Those things that we want, those things that perhaps we don't openly acknowledge. They are things that we think we deserve, things that we think will make us happy. And we will do everything we can to achieve them.  But how does God's agenda fit into this? Have you ever thought that maybe God has plans and ideas for your life? Perhaps these are better than anything you could ever imagine?  Ask yourself the question, what do I do about it?  Support the show

God makes His people strong

August 23, 2022 02:00 - 2 minutes - 1.63 MB

Today's thought comes from Psalm 29:11: "The Lord gives his people strength. The Lord blesses them with peace."  We spend a lot of time trying to go it alone. Time and again we work hard in our own strength to achieve only what God and God alone can do.  It's time to give in and say Lord, I need your help. That's when we find strength and peace.  Support the show

O, for a thousand tongues to sing.

March 21, 2022 09:00 - 3 minutes - 2.27 MB

Even in his sick bed, Charles Wesley was stirred by the voice of Jesus to believe and later to lift his pen and write the words of the hymn.  We need to realise that Jesus is Emmanuel, God with us. He is not distant, He is here and He is now. We just have to open our hearts and realise that it's true.  Support the show
