Wells were always a place of nourishment and provision in the bible and at times even a meeting place where a groom will find his bride. God often meets us at these places of provision, a well of meeting where our God is revealed as "the God Who Sees - El Roi" No matter the season we all can be encouraged that God sees you.

The call of Jesus is transformation of life not affirmation of identity and to and to identify with Christ is without doubt the great privilege. Hebrews 13 helps us in this journey as the writer gives us some distinct duties or obligations that we as believers take on. Our spiritual duty in regard to God, our moral duty in regard to man and our ecclesiastical duty in regard to Christian leadership. The Christian life is as Hebrews declares one of worship, good works and submission to Godly authority.

The kingdom of God expands at the speed of relationships, your relationship with God and your relationship with one another. 1 Kings 19 is the story of Elijah and it's a story of refreshing, replenishing and revitalizing and we need to remember that exhaustion and failure are not the same thing and that God desires our best and will always make a way for us in any situation we find ourselves in.

Worshiping God is integral to our lives as believers and we all have the ability to give God our best. We all must choose to offer to God not just our duty of service in worship but the fruit of our lives that God has blessed us with.

Each year many believers around the world observe what is known as Advent. Over four Sundays leading up to Christmas Christians everywhere are remembering the hope, faith, joy and peace of the Christmas season all because unto us a Saviour was born and His name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace as Isaiah 9 describes. Wherever you are and whatever you are going through we pray the peace of the Lord would be with you.

“The real difficulty, the supreme mystery with which the gospel confronts us, does not lie in the Good Friday message of atonement, nor in the Easter message of resurrection, but in the Christmas message of Incarnation.

The really staggering Christian claim is that Jesus of Nazareth was God made man– that the second person of the Godhead became the ‘second man’ (1 Cor. 15:47), determining human destiny, the second representative head of the race, and that He took humanity without loss of deity, so that Jesus of Nazareth was as truly and fully divine as He was human.

In the 2nd Century Church a letter was written to an unknown man, by an unknown author in an unknown place. We do know that this unknown recipient was called Diognetus even though we don't know who he was. We do know that this letter was one of the first letters of apologetics that we can read about and it described what Christians looked like in the second century. What will history write of us as Christians today?
