LET’S CONTINUE WHAT JESUS STARTED… To everyone reading these words, may I start by wishing you a very Happy New Year! It is my specific prayer that each person who belongs to Cambray, and those who feel on the margins, will know the close presence and power of the Lord Jesus Christ as we enter…

If somehow you could strip away all the trappings of your life and faith as a Christian, what would be left? What should be left? This is a question that I ask myself from time to time, to check that I’m not simply worshipping the church, friends, comfort, family, or any of the other blessings…

At the outset, I passionately affirm that the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ never changes: ‘Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today and forever’ (Hebrews 13:8). As his followers, we have been commissioned to ‘go and make disciples of all nations, baptising them ! and teaching them to obey everything I (Jesus) have commanded…

Herein are…

‘True friends of Christ do not flirt with his Bride; they point her to him.’ This was tweeted by Mike Reeves (Theological Advisor for the Universities and Colleges Christian Fellowship) some time back, and I’m not sure whether it was his original thought, but I have found it to be a powerful phrase, and a…

It was a great source of encouragement to me and the leadership team to receive a clear mandate from the recent Cambray Church members’ meeting that we should start the recruitment process for a new Associate/Assistant Pastor. As that discussion showed (and many future debates will confirm!), the task of finding the ‘right’ pastor would…

Recently a friend of mine, a Fitness Professional, posted two photos online. They were ‘before’ and ‘after’ shots of a client she had been working with. It was impressive. The person had clearly lost a lot of weight, and there had been a complete and startling transformation which was clear to see as I looked…
