Every day we post a Thought for the day written by someone within the circuit. Some are very light hearted and some are very deep theologically with all bases between covered.
We hope these will encourage, uplift and make you reflect but most of all we hope you enjoy reading these small daily snippets and take some inspiration on your daily journey
“I am with you and will watch over you wherever you go” (Genesis 28:15)
As some of you will know I like a variety of teas and, usually drink it black so I can taste the tea. I have green tea with lemon for breakfast, Lady Grey for lunch and green tea in the afternoon. Perhaps you are thinking “Ugh” or what has that got to do with a…
In God’s word the Bible we are given many promises. All of God’s promises must be fulfilled because God does not and cannot lie. When Jesus ascended to heaven his disciples must have felt abandoned. But Jesus gave them a promise that He would send the Holy Spirit and He kept that promise because days later they…
Another incident that happened on my recent cycling adventure was meeting an obstruction in the road. We were cycling along roads in the Yorkshire Dales and a message came through that there was a lorry obstructing the road in front of us. We had to turn off onto a narrow country lane and were met…
I have been inspired recently by several different people who could so easily be described as being “Disabled” I watched an excellent documentary about the Eastenders star and Strictly winner Rose Ayling-Ellis, who has been profoundly deaf since birth, this twenty-eight-year-old woman has encouraged deaf young people and inspired them to strive to achieve their…

I’m sure that at some point over the summer months most of us will spend some time by the sea. Even if we can’t physically get there, we will see films or postcards that will evoke memories of being on a beach. The wild and tempestuous waves remind us of the awesome power of our…
I went to sleep on a train the other day; there is nothing unusual in that. On this particular occasion it was a hot afternoon, the train was very busy and when I woke up with a start (as you do). I had no idea where I was despite only having dropped off for a…
Several years ago, I was a guest of another church at a Christian Conference Centre and one speaker’s subject was Why Witness? He started with this challenging statement. “The problem today is that too many preachers are trying to do the work of the Holy Spirit by trying to convict their listeners of sin”. This…
Jesus invited his three closest disciples to go up a mountain with him (Matthew 17). There his appearance altered, bathed in bright light that dazzled the disciples. Moses & Elijah appear, two of Israel’s greatest prophets. This was the “transfiguration”, a mountaintop experience. It changed the disciples forever answering their deep-seated doubts about who Jesus…
I have just returned from a 4-day cycling trip from Morecambe to Bridlington following the Way of the Roses cycle route. There were some highs and some lows – literally, but in all it was a fantastic experience, and a great achievement for everyone who took part. Also, plenty of material for TFTD! On our…
