(January 24, 2025) Dr Jim McClure shares a timely challenge from history…
We’re living in a time of great political upheaval, international hostility, social division and moral confusion! Sometimes it’s hard to watch television news for so many reports are about violence and bloodshed and protestors chanting threatening slogans.

(January 04, 2025) Carol Round reflects on 2025…
As we move ahead in 2025 trusting our God, what a wonderful, comforting and strengthening scripture is Deuteronomy 7:9 TLB, ‘Understand, therefore, that the Lord your God is the faithful God who for a thousand generations keeps His promises and constantly loves those who love Him and who obey His commands.’
I also draw attention to John 16:33, one of my favourite Bible promises, one that Jesus gave His disciples… and we can believe that it applies to us to as we follow Him!

‘We definitely questioned why we were going through that,’ says Amanda. The two-year ordeal is finally over. Isaiah just was declared cancer-free and the port in his chest is being removed. ‘You have this idea that if you serve God and do what’s right and do the will of God that you live in a bubble and nothing will touch you and you’re safe. That’s just not true.’
