(guest post by Bobby Gilles) Ever played Highs and Lows? It’s become a staple of small group meetings around the world. Each person in turn tells about their “high” of the past week, and their “low” – the best and the worst things they’ve gone through. This icebreaker allows us to take stock of our week and share with others. But it helps us in another way too: each high is sweeter because of the lows. When we’ve had a rough week, perhaps the only “high” we can think of is a beautiful sunrise, an afternoon nap or the smile...
read moreNorthern Ireland worship musicians Bluetree became well-known a few years ago with their anthem of worship, ‘God of This City’. Recently, they released their sophomore album – Kingdom.

read moreI read a study recently that I think a lot of people can relate to when it comes to their spiritual walk. It went something like this: Put five apes in a cage. Then dangle a banana from the ceiling of that cage and place a ladder under it. Whenever an ape attempts to climb the ladder to reach the banana, spray all of them with cold water.
