When Jesus loved, He loved in ways never imagined. Though rich, he became poor to love the poor, the forgotten, the overlooked and the sick. He played to the margins. By spending less at Christmas we have the opportunity to join Him in giving resources to those who need help the most. When Advent Conspiracy [...]

What is giving really all about? It seems today that so much of life makes demands on us&#8230; and especially within Christian circles. There seems, to me, an expectation on our lives to constantly be giving of our time, resources, of ourselves. Giving too much of yourself is not necessarily a good thing &#8211; and [...]

This year I have managed to buy less presents for people &#8211; though I must admit it has been fuelled more by the emptiness in my purse than it has to do with the call by the Advent Conspiracy lot. It&#8217;s not a bad idea though I love buying presents. Gift buying is often my [...]

What does it mean to WORSHIP FULLY? To live a LIFESTYLE of worship? How do we worship?


It starts with Jesus. It ends with Jesus. This is the holistic approach God had in mind for Christmas. It’s a season where we are called to put down our burdens and lift a song up to our God. [...]

What should Christmas really be about? I don&#8217;t think I am the only one asking this question. Just have a chat with a few different people and you can often hear the frustration of this season &#8211; the presents, family gatherings, expectations, credit crunch&#8230;and the list goes on.
So how did we get to this point? [...]
