The Power of Words
Words have power and what we say can be positive or negative. Damian uses the warning given by Jesus in James 3:1-12 traditionally referred to as the taming of the tongue.
Cultivating a Listening Ear
When we think about prayer, we primarily focus on “talking to God” the active element. But it is just as important to “listen to God” too. Today, Lesley uses James 5:16 to drive home the importance of developing the passive element in order to improve the effectiveness of our prayers as well as increase our intimacy with God.
How to carry on when you feel like giving up!
Life can be tough and Christians are not exempt from the highs, lows and disappointments that come along. Damian mines scripture to illustrate how, sometimes we need to dig deep, persevere and just not give up.
