How can we best help children to subdivide their grey matter for Christ? Today’s kids are bombarded with more information than any previous generation; will their minds be mapping the truth of Christ or building neural pathways to secular wisdom?
How do we disagree with each other? If you’ve been around any church for more than 12 months you’ll know that there are many disagreements. Sometimes these are fairly small and trivial. In every church I’ve ever been in there’s been an argument about the colour or type of the furnishings. And the carpet is a small issue compared with some of the wider ones that impact on life, like who Jesus is, how God saves, and other major doctrinal truths.
How do you feel about change? Do you like new and different things, or do you prefer stability? Personally, I’m way down the stability end of the spectrum. If the packaging changes on my cereal box I have a bad week. I like things to be steady and predictable.

Old Testament scholar Kamina Wüst takes us deep inside the Song of Solomon, a mysterious, evocative and sometimes neglected part of Scripture.
I am currently preaching through the book of Acts. It is my second time preaching through this book, and I love it! I just recently finished preaching through Acts 11:19-30: the formation of the church in Antioch. This account is one that has always intrigued me.
