We’re all involved in an ongoing war – a spiritual one. There are only two sides, that of God and that of Satan. It’s going on right now and we can’t see it with our eyes because it’s an unseen battle between good and evil, darkness and light. The good news of the Gospel is that evil does not have the last word in God’s universe.

The discipline of prayer
Talking with God is the highest activity human being can do, and yet if we’re honest, most Christians struggle to do it. We are to pray, assuming the goodness of God, and assuming that he will give us what is best, in his time and in his way. Trust your Father with your needs.
Priorities and choices
A massive and crucial part of being a true disciple of Jesus is listening to his voice, and doing what he says. I’m sure we all know the main way we do this is with our Bibles open, especially in church, but also in family worship at home, and private worship in our own. There are no short-cuts to spiritual maturity – you must sit at Jesus’ feet with your Bibles open.
Christmas Surprises
The Christmas story in the Bible is full of surprises. There’s the surprise that God himself was going to become a human being. Then there’s the surprise of how it was going to happen – through the power of God the Holy Spirit coming upon a virgin called Mary. On hearing the news, the shepherds believe God’s promise, and respond in faith and obedience, going to see the baby. They know they need rescuing from sin, and so they praise God for the birth of the Rescuer. How will you respond?
The Good Samaritan
Religion without love is pointless. Of course, we cannot earn our way to Heaven. But once we’ve placed our trust in Christ, God expects us to see with different eyes, and see the needs around us. And he expects that we will expend time, love and money in our efforts to bless our neighbours.

Transformation
We long to see men and women and boys and girls come to faith. We long to see people turning from living for money, pleasure and self, and turning to God in repentance and faith. We long to hear the joy of those who realise their sins have been forgiven and their past mistakes have been dealt with – it is as if they never happened.
