REACHING YOUR POTENTIAL # 5….. EXPECT GREAT THINGS TO HAPPEN
It’s all about your attitude! Negative, closed minded, small thinking people never reach their potential. If your attitude is one that you expect to be rejected then you will be.
Do you expect great things to happen on your area, where you work or study? If not, why not? God is for you, not against you. [...]
REACHING YOUR POTENTIAL # 4….. EXPERTS AREN’T ALWAYS RIGHT
You’ll never get to where you could or should be without, sometimes, going against an expert’s advice. I once heard it said that an expert is someone who will know tomorrow why the things he predicted yesterday didn’t happen today.
Beethoven’s music teacher told him he was a hopeless composer. Walt Disney was fired [...]
REACHING YOUR POTENTIAL # 3….. ACCEPT PRESSURE

Following the crash Emma wrote a song Send Another [...]
WHAT YOU GIVE OVER, GOD WILL TAKE OVER

This week was our first week of Chapel. I love chapel – a short, impacting one hour service run entirely by our students. Everyone did [...]
THE PURSUIT OF A DREAM

A NEW YEAR OF NEW THINGS
I love what God says in Isaiah 43:19 – Behold, I am doing a new thing, now it springs forth, can you not perceive it?
