Philippians 4:13
“I can do all things through him who strengthens me.”
A verse often quoted as a motivational boost, but what did Paul really mean? We’ll explore how this passage is less about winning or achieving, and more about finding deep contentment in every circumstance.
Jeremiah 29:11
“For I know the plans I have for you…”
This much-loved verse is often applied to individual success and prosperity. But in its original context, it spoke to a whole community living in exile. What does “hope and a future” mean when life doesn’t go to plan?

The wonder of God’s promises
Life doesn’t always go as planned, but we can trust that God is always present and His promises never fail. He is the unshakable rock on which we build our lives, the only secure foundation.
The wonder of legacy
What do you do when the future looks uncertain…or even impossible? In a land full of giants, Caleb and Joshua saw a promise—not a problem. While fear paralysed others, they moved forward in confidence—not in themselves, but in the God who had proven faithful time and time again.
When I’m weary
There is an expectation that we always have more to do, that resting is lazy, and that taking time out can be seen as failure. What if the Kingdom of God offers an alternative lifestyle to the constant capitalist wheel that never sleeps? God himself was the author of resting in the creation narrative. Is chilling on the sofa with endless streaming options enough? Or is there something more fulfilling out there for when we are feeling weary and exhausted?
When we get tempted
The Bible says that we won’t be tempted beyond what we can bear, but that doesn’t mean we get to go through life without any temptation. Jesus himself was tempted physically and emotionally in the wilderness with desire, power and control. He uses his knowledge of scripture to counter the words of the devil. When we are distracted with other gods, kings and powers of the world, what can we learn from Jesus in how he fights temptation?
Ruth Chapter 4
When life seems hard or circumstances seem challenging, what do you do when God seems to be hidden or not present? In the closing chapter of Ruth, we’ll see that God is not only present—he was there the whole time, working in the meanwhile.
