Merry Christmas

It’s Christmas!  Wow, we have been in Queens Park for a whole year now…where has it gone?  We feel this first year, finding our feet, setting foundations, meeting people, has been a tough but very exciting and successful one!
Firstly, let us take this opportunity …

Love Came Down

My personal advent preparation and subsequent assembly, carol service and outreach focus was around the theme ‘What Are You Waiting For?’.  It was a great theme, it was helping to spend time waiting and I guess with stilll a couple of days to go before the big day …

Hope

Let me tell you a story about Hope…

David goes to our church and two months ago his wife lost her battle with cancer, the battle was lost but actually we all know she is in a better place.  It was and still is an emotional time for him.  I remember when he got up …

Smack in the face!

These seems to be happening to me a lot lately.  Maybe it has to do with the company I’m keeping.  But in that case I should stop going to church.  You see it’s God doing the smacking!  The times that God is bringing stuff to my attention, where my vision is …

So I say Thank you!

Just lately as I’ve become more and more aware of the truth, the truth about what God says about me my prayers have taken a change in focus.  I’m still saying sorry for the stuff that I know is Sin, I’m still repenting and daily turning around from those things …

A Promise of Truth

A promise that is two fold, one because I said that I would get blogging some time today, and two because what God says in his word, what he promises is truth for all!
Tuesday as always is the time when the schools and youth team get together to pray, plan, drink loads …

Retreat

Today was Schools Ministry Billericay retreat day.  Every half term we try to get away, take some time out to refocus on the mission.  And today was a kind of steak in the ground day.  We’ve found it easy to go along with how our diary dictates our day to day and …

Speaking Life

Speaking Life sounds like one of those popular sound bites that you might have heard in church or even some life coaching seminar or book. It is more than a phrase though, it’s a foundation principle that is woven into the fabric of our church. No wonder then that our …

Belonging

What does it take for you to feel like you belong?
In short it is tragedy that has meant that we (Hannah and I) feel more a part of church than ever before.
We’ve been in a church before where it’s been sad when somebody that we’ve known has died, unexpected and …

Why Messianicomplex?

This is my first wordpress blog. I’ve used typepad before and was paying for it but this is free and for a while I’ve been using tumblr, but more recently I’ve wanted to be able to write something of substance and need a place to host that, so here I am. ( I am …

Testing out posting from phone

Ok so I should be going to sleep, it's been a long day but I couldn't resist trying out this feature and post a blog entry from me phone.

I'm sure it'll be easier from an iPhone app but for now I'll give this a go when I'm out and about.

I'm actually sitting infront …

One of those days

Have you ever had just one of those days? Unfortunately mine was this Sunday, our last sunday for the foreseeable future at Christ Church. Lou and I were leading worship and it started with some music books that had gone missing, then at the beginning of the service …

New Virb, New Me?

So I suppose this means after all the hard work that the virbsters have done that I should start using Virb as it was intended. It's hard to know where to call home online but maybe, just maybe I could put down roots here?

So expect some more of this, my ramblings …

Well done America, Congrats Obama!

I stayed up till about four this morning to watch the results as they came in live and it was so interesting!

Urban Expressions and curry with a Stag

Yesterday was one of those days that you know is in the diary but just creeps up on you, so I wasn't quite up for travelling into London for the day.
