BIBLE THINGS
When switching from my old website to my new one, not everything made the jump and so i am creating this as a base page to stick helpful links about Bible-related things that will hopefully prove to be helpful resoources for you.
So far i have worked through the Psalms in a series i called ‘Psalmthings’, and then i did short video blogs through the book of Mark in a series called ‘Mark: My words’ and i also did a section where i looked at various of my ‘Favourite Verses’ that i enjoy and spoke a little bit about why.
In the not too distant future i will hopefully have the links back in here so you can make the most of them…
Mark, my words: John loses his head

"Just part one ocean in front of me, once, God, and i will never doubt you again!" that's how i think sometimes. but a huge part of me knows it unlikely to be true. it [...]

one of the first things i want to do once i am settled in Americaland is buy a copy of this song 'You won't relent' by Jesus Culture - i find the lyrics and the [...]
Manchester United beat Poverty by three goals to hunger.
So last night there was a game of football/soccer between Manchester United [soccer is one of my least supported sports but if i have ever supported a team it has been Manchester United... and then [...]
Mark, my words: the two were sent out to find a man of peace
there is a great principle of ministry that you can see glimpses of in the life of Jesus: Teacher does, pupils watch. Teacher does, pupils are involved and do it with Him. Pupils do and [...]
psalmthing to chew on: psalm 51
'For the director of music. A psalm of David. When the prophet Nathan came to him after David had committed adultery with Bathsheba.' i mean, that's quite an intro already, right? and possibly carries a [...]
Mark, my words: a prophet in his own town [a look at potential]
this passage is a semi well-known one where Jesus speaks about a prophet in their own town not being welcomed or recognised - i decided to take a look at the aspect of potential which [...]
Mark, my words: A dead girl and a bleeding woman.
the journey through the book of Mark continues and this next passage is a little longer but contains two powerful stories and i am just going to pull one or two points out of them. [...]
