Lord’s Prayer

We have recently had a Prayer Day with our local Primary School where we explored creative ways of saying the Lord’s Prayer. How often so we say the Lord’s Prayer – most, if not all Sundays? But how often do we stop and think about what it really means? Here are some of my thoughts.…

Sorry I stole your car

I was sent the image and the words attached to this TFTD via Social Media and wanted to share it further. “Sorry I stole your car. Saved my family!”- an incredible story from a resident of Kyiv.“ I left the bomb shelter and saw a car with keys in the ignition near the store. I…

Just as we are

The Sunday before last I was due to lead worship at Framlingham, some 27 miles from where I live. It was forecast to be a pleasant sunny day, so I decided the night before to cycle. I calculated that I needed to leave a couple of hours, so set off at 8.30am, leaving plenty of…

Welcome home!

My son recently returned from Australia for a holiday after 3 and a half years away. He and his girlfriend flew into Manchester airport, as they were visiting her parents initially.

Today is Good Friday – what’s so good about it?

Take a look at this quote from American Pastor Rev S. M. Lockridge, who first preached this 3 minute sermon some 50plus years ago – Remember, “It’s only Friday… but Sunday’s coming!” “It’s Friday… Jesus was nailed dead on a cross. But it’s only Friday; Sunday’s coming!” It’s Friday… Mary’s crying her eyes out ‘cause…

Rogues, Scoundrels & Scallywags of Scripture

This series of “Thoughts for the Day” is inspired by the study series, NOTORIOUS, written by Jeff Lucas. He and Pastor Brent Cunningham discuss 9 different characters from the bible who we would possibly call rogues, scoundrels or scallywags. Each one however can teach us something of our faith.
