Hope at Home

There are times in life when we expect the expected; but what happens in the unexpected moments when we are surprised by circumstances beyond belief? It is in these moments when we need hope the most..

  • Take the gift: in life slowed down

    How did your sky look yesterday? Cloudy? Did it spit? Was there wind that tangled your laundry or a breeze that curled your hair? How about the colours? Was it as blue as blue can be, or as grey as a pebble? Grey as a Russian Blue?

  • A more traditional pathway – shock horror     

    News.com.au ran a fascinating story a few years ago, a man who had been sexually attracted to men all his life, yet made a conscious decision to fall in love with a woman and marry her.

  • Be content with who you are

    “You’re blessed when you’re content with just who you are — no more, no less. That’s the moment you find yourself proud owners of everything that can’t be bought.”

  • Why Christians need to stop sharing the conspiracy theories

    I am going to share Exodus chapter 20 verse 16 from the King James Bible.

  • Transformed by Trouble

    Kim Brennan was a young athlete with a dream to compete in the Olympic Games. Leading up to the 2004 Olympics she was the second fastest hurdler over 400 meters in Australia. Catastrophe struck when her Olympic campaign was derailed through injury.

  • Are you contagious?

    No, I’m not going to talk about COVID 19, because I think we’ve had enough. But I do want to mention some things about contagion.

  • Jesus in The Midnight Gospel

    Lately I have been utterly entranced by a new Netflix show, The Midnight Gospel. Created by American comedian Duncan Trussell, and Adventure Time creator Pendleton Ward, the show combines select interviews from Trussell’s podcast with a cartoon story about a man who interviews beings from dying universes through a simulation machine.

  • Powerful and miscellaneous

    Over my 43 years in Christian ministry I have often read or been sent some great quotes which reveal many a great truth. See what you think of these, I'm sure you have a whole other bunch which would be just as illustrative. 

  • It Takes a Leap of Faith to Believe in the Resurrection?

    Or Does it? …………………Well in an era of scientific rationalism it would seem that to take refuge inside the subjective realm of faith is a safe bet. Afterall no one can deny (or confirm) what we’re feeling right now. For you and for me our feelings or beliefs are equally valid.

  • The necessity of seasons

    During this lockdown period, I’ve been watching the Netflix documentary series, Our Planet, narrated by David Attenborough. An incredible series that has moved me towards praise for the amazing planet we get to enjoy.

  • 4 things to become a storm rider

    The impact of the coronavirus continues to boggle our minds. We see the shutting down of entire nations and the devastation on our livelihoods and economies! And of course there are those experiencing unimaginable grief due to the loss of loved ones. Yet, despite all this we know we must keep going and rebound.  My heart and prayers goes out to you all.
