When I was younger one my favourite conversations with my friends was about who was greater Pele or Ian Wright, Pele or Gazza, Pele or Lineker. We would have long protracted and frankly impossible to prove debates comparing players who would never even have to compete. The other day I flicked on the radio and two fully grown adults were …
Fridges and Trees – Adam and Eve
I’ve been trying to loose weight recently and to do that I’ve decided that I can no longer avoid the dreaded word ‘diet’. Nothing too fancy I just decided I probably needed to eat less to be less. The only snag is that I rather like food. I sometimes find myself sat in the kitchen looking at the fridge and …
Temple & Altar
We are now just over 3 months away from the Rediscover Conference and I hope you are getting as excited as we are for what God is going to refresh and release in all of us over the weekend. We have some great speakers lined up and as a worship leader I am particularly excited that we have Anchor Music …
A Life Laid Down
God has been calling me deeper into His heart (as always) but this time it feels different, it feels more like sacrifice than ever. Kings Kaleidoscope have a new song and one of the lyrics says, ‘Living for experiences I romanticize’. Hearing this for the first time I felt incredibly challenged. Previously, I would have said I felt like I …
God cares for me
This year I did Form with St Thomas’ Church Philadelphia, Sheffield. Over the year I stepped into many things but the main thing I learned was how much God cares for me, how much he rejoices and delights over me and how much he has to say and give to me. I learnt that I have no need to feel …
Rediscovering the Rock
I don’t know about you but I’ve been slightly taken aback this week. As I sit here and write this the UK has voted to leave the EU. Big news. But off the back of this news it feels like the world is wobbling around us. Politicians are resigning, 2 million people have signed a petition, I overhear angry …
Dealing with Disappointment
No matter how many times we encounter disappointment in our lives, it never becomes easier to cope with. Whether we’re further along our walks of life or not, disappointment hits us like an oncoming train. Disappointment, sadness, and grief are all topics we avoid like the plague. The less we talk about feelings and situations such as these, the harder …
Filling us to overflow
I have been thinking a lot recently about the challenge upon us to tell people about Jesus. This is a challenge that we often grapple with, I often see us either frustrated because we aren’t seeing anyone come to know him or feeling guilty because we didn’t ask to pray for that person we knew God was telling us to. …
7 Spheres Turning Point
In our last blog we briefly touched on what are known as the seven spheres or the seven mountains of influence in our society. Those seven mountains consist of Business, Government, the Arts & Sport, Media, Education, Religion and Family. We at Rebuild spend a lot of time thinking about these seven spheres of influence and rack our brains trying …
Stop singing … start being!?
Stop singing … Start Being!? As a teenager I loved that old school Delirious? song History Maker. I remember screaming out at the top of my lungs believing every word in my heart … I’m gonna be a history maker in this land I’m gonna be a speaker of truth to all mankind I’m gonna stand, I’m gonna run Into …
