God is here – Hope in the valley

Zachariah’s valley was a life of disappointment not being able to have a child and then God shows up. Cathy talks through Psalm 84 which speaks of the Valley of Baka – a place of sadness and desolation – representative of the valleys in our lives. But God is here with us, and we can have hope.

Don’t Worry – There is Good News!

In the final part of this Don’t Worry mini-series, Jon looks at Psalm 46. In the context of a terrifying attack from the Assyrian army, God tells His people that He is their refuge and ever present help (v1) and to be still (v10). Our God is exactly what you need, when you need Him. He is big enough to oversee the whole world, and he’s loving enough to care about you.

Don’t Worry – Out of the Cave

Part 2 of our Don’t Worry series. This week, Jon explores the battle against depression, anxiety and worry using Elijah in 1 Kings 19 as an example to us.
It’s okay to not be okay. But don’t settle for a lifetime of ‘not okay’. God is calling you out of your cave.

God loves REST

God loves Rest! He rested after creation (Genesis 2.1-3), He commands us to rest (Exodus 20.8-11) and He made rest for us (Mark 2.23-28). When we feel the burden of life we can still find rest (Matthew 11:28-29), when we feel overwhelmed, Jehovah Jireh, God is enough.
