Dedication: Giving Your Children Back To God
Ian Gray
Most parents are tempted once in a while by the idea of handing their children back to God and asking for a refund… Today as we celebrate the dedication of young baby Harris, we look at what dedication, and what the idea of giving your children back to God actually means.

Encourage Me! Faith
Ian Gray
We’ve been in a series looking at some of the ways God encourages us, and equips us to encourage those around us. We’ve seen how God’s grace to forgive us is also an indication of how much joy he gets from bringing us back into relationship with him; and we’ve seen how he offers hope [ more… ]
Encourage Me! Hope
Ian Gray
We hope for a lot of things in life. We hope for things; we hope in things; we put our hope in people… Usually there’s a good amount of uncertainty mixed in with that hope. But in our series on encouragement, today we’re looking at how God offers us hope that is certain and sure, [ more… ]
Encourage Me! Grace

Elijah 8: Prophet on the run
Ian Gray
In our series on the life of the prophet Elijah we’ve reached 1 Kings 19. Elijah is on the run again – it looks like his victory over the false prophets of Baal hasn’t resolved matters in quite the way he must have hoped, and the queen is after his head. How will Elijah deal [ more… ]
Elijah 7: Prophet on his knees
Ian Gray
Two weeks ago we left Elijah at Mount Carmel after his dramatic and overwhelming victory over the prophets of Baal. He might be feeling like a rest – but there’s still plenty to do, because although God has promised that the rains will return and bring an end to the drought, it hasn’t actually rained [ more… ]
