Last week I (Pastor Andy) had the pleasure of previewing the NEW Mary Magdalene Movie. The overarching theme of the movie was incredible. It was as if the movie often chose to hedge towards the cultural norm of the times or our time over what the Gospel accounts give us. There is a reason the…

Often when it comes to worship, we choose many forms. The most overlooked expression by millennials and MEN in particular within the church is that of giving money. Even in the New Testament, it was the women who bankrolled Jesus. BIG shout out to the women at CityHill representing and holding it down. [Luke8:3] Here…

Nothing matters more than sharing the Gospel. Period. If we believe it is true, what could be a better use of ones finite time on this Earth? “Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus, who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing…

Coming from this background, it was only normal for me to…

Mental health and prayer, two of the most important topics. I was reading a post on the Guardian earlier today about spiritual abuse. It mentioned prayer, the dangers of prayer & mental health. It was highlighting some shocking cases of abuse in the UK from research by a Christian Think Tank. One feature of the…

Faith and cynicism. Scoffing was something that was portrayed as being a mature Christian when I was growing up in Church. But it is anything but. Where do you sit? Is probably not a question we ask very often. In the first Psalm, a picture is painted of someone who ‘walks not in the counsel…
