Growing in Faith

What's that about?

Jesus said 'come follow me' and those first people (the disciples) did just that, they went on a journey. So, from the very beginning being a follower of Jesus has always been about more than a set of beliefs or 'rights & wrongs', it's about the journey with Jesus. 

  

We are passionate about 'discipleship', which is a fancy way of saying 'walking with Jesus each and every day' and growing in our Christian faith. But you might be asking 'how do I do that?'

  

This section of our website seeks to provide a variety of resources to help with just this. We're all different, and so what is helpful to one person, might not be for another. So this isn't a list of 'must dos', it's more a 'fruit bowl', you'll find some things that you like and reach for again and again, then other things that are just not to your taste. But our hope is that if you want to grow in your faith, there will be something here to help you on your way.

Gareth's Recent Reads

Beholding

Dirty Glory

Beholding

By Strahan Coleman


Coleman talks about two types of prayer... active (i.e. intercession, confession, etc...) and what he terms 'beholding'.  Having been bedridden by sudden illness for 4/5years Coleman found that God was present in his suffering in a way he never anticipated.

This is a good read, and invitation to encounter God afresh, to know that we are loved and seen in ways we never  anticipated.

Heaven

Dirty Glory

Beholding

By Paula Gooder


'Heaven' and 'angels' are things that many people have a belief in, but have you ever wondered what the Bible actually says about them?  Paula has.  This book is all about this subject.  It's very readable and an interesting insight into what the Bible says, why this is important, and what it means for us today. Why not give it a go.

Dirty Glory

Dirty Glory

Dirty Glory

By Pete Grieg

  

I have loved reading this book. In it Grieg talks about his experience (a the experience of others) of seeing God at work in miraculous ways as they have sought to follow where He leads. It's an inspiring read, and one it's hard to put down. I would encourage anyone to pick up this book and remember once again what Jesus means when he says 'Come follow Me'.
