Tope Koleoso preached this last Sunday on entering the New Year purposefully and with prayer. We are beginning the year with a week of prayer and fasting at church, so I have asked a guest blogger to join us here later in the week after I have shared a sermon I have set on auto-publish for tomorrow. Tope is passionate about inspiring Jubilee to be a church that is continually more devoted to prayer. At the beginning of this recording... Read more
I have been enjoying reading Michael Hyatt’s blog recently. He really gets social media, as well as being the dynamic leader of the largest Christian publishing house in the world. His is a voice worth listening to. I particularly liked what he had to say about Twitter in a conversation with a colleague: “Twitter is an opportunity for you to lead in a way that was not possible until now.” I explained. “As you and I both teach, when you...

Bob Kellemen of RPM Ministries has posted the following review. He also tweeted the above headline. Adrian Warnock’s Raised with Christ presents theological truth in a first-rate communication style. His compelling message is straightforward and profoundly life-changing. Jesus is alive. His resurrection changes everything for everyone. The Christian community knows Adrian Warnock as an avid Evangelical Christian blogger. With the release of Raised with Christ, Warnock will also be known as an accomplished theologian who understands how to relate truth... Read more
Over on michaelhyatt.com we are challenged to consider some questions about 2009. I figured I would have a go at answering them here: 1. If the last year were a movie of your life, what would the genre be? Drama, romance, adventure, comedy, tragedy, or a combination? No question but an adventure. Fast paced, with some major challenges, but ultimately it all ended surprisingly well. 2. What were the two or three major themes that kept recurring? These can be... Read more
Happy 2010 to you all! As you read this, I will no doubt still be at the Enfield multiplex cinema where our church meets to see the New Year in with worship and prayer. I hope you are also enjoying the New Year celebrations. I wanted my first post this year to be a big thank you to all those websites that send me traffic. I obviously can’t thank the more than 2000 separate sites that have sent some traffic... Read more
Copies of the book still won’t be available until next year (OK, we know that’s a lot closer than it sounds!) However, we can exclusively confirm by means of this photograph that the first print run has indeed been successfully produced. It may seem like it is taking forever for this book to arrive, but it really isn’t far away now. Read more
My family and I would like to wish you all a Happy Christmas and a Blessed New Year. I will next blog again in 2010. If you live near Enfield, North London, you are all warmly invited to join us for a New Year’s Eve Worship Celebration. A number of other churches are going to be with us. There is a video from Tope Koleoso about the event on the Jubilee Church website. May your 2010 be full of good... Read more

I have reviewed previous blogging years in 2008, 2007, 2006, 2005, and 2004. These summary posts really do show something of the history of this site, and hence my life over this time. I sometimes wonder how long I will be able to keep all this blogging up, but to be honest, most of the time I simply cannot imagine life without the opportunity for reflection a blog brings. This year will forever be known in my mind as the... Read more

Here is how the book begins: THIS BOOK IS ABOUT THE resurrection of Jesus and its effects on us today.
