God's irresistible transformation

In Acts 9 we read of Saul’s encounter with Jesus on the Damascus Road, and his sudden and unexpected experience of being rendered blind.

Stop the world... don't stop the world

I remember press coverage of a “private” conversation between world leaders at a G8 summit a few years back where our (then) prime minister complained about the lack of thinking time and the relentless unceasing mill of meetings and decisions.

Now and Not yet...

Now and Not yet...

In this moment there’s a chance to pause and to prepare for what lies ahead today. There’s even more opportunity than that if I choose to take it. There’s the opportunity to fully embrace the present and to be fully present to it. To invite Jesus to come alongside, to be present with me, to remind me to linger longer with him; invite him into every aspect of the day ahead. To remember to enjoy the simple moments and blessings of the life He’s given me.

BUT, my brain seems to have missed the memo that this is time to be still and enjoy the moment!

Read on to discover how Jesus lived in both the now and the not yet…

Last month UCAN spent 3 days at the Christian Resource Exhibition at Sandown Park. Amongst many encouraging conversations and connections, it surprised us once again as we found church administrators and leaders that have never heard of UCAN. How can you help us to get known?…
