We often turn to God for His power in times of trouble. But most of the time we don’t need to plead with God for help in our struggles but only a new lens to see the power of God already at work in the midst of those trying times. Do you see His power?
The post ONE – Week 4: One Power appeared first on Aldersgate Church.
Hope shapes how we see everything in life. It’s more than wishful thinking. It’s something we are very sure about that just hasn’t’ happened yet. It’s something we look forward to with great anticipation. Where’s your hope?
The post One – Week 3: One Hope appeared first on Aldersgate Church.
Sometimes we feel dry spiritually. Like something is missing. We don’t long to read the Bible. Our prayers are flat. We don’t feel anything when we worship. This dryness most often comes from a lack of sight. We simply need the eyes of our hearts enlightened. What do you need to see?

If you’re like most people, each January begins with a litany of shortcomings to be perfected commonly known as “New Year’s Resolutions.” All of which are typically off your radar by February.

Prayer and fasting? Didn’t those go out of style decades ago? Not at all! Fasting and prayer are for today. In fact, now more than ever!

Matthew 18:20-21 In a world of porcupines, we can’t help but receive a lot of quills. We are going to be stabbed and wounded. We can’t avoid or ignore the hurts but we have to learn to see beyond them – the wonder of forgiveness.
The post How To Dance With A Porcupine – Week 3: The Wonder of Forgiveness appeared first on Aldersgate Church.
There is no greater challenge in relationships than to master the art of handling conflict – dancing with quills. Conflict is not the problem. Unresolved conflict is the problem. The good news is that Jesus gave us a set of instructions about how to handle relational breakdown.

We all share the porcupine’s dilemma – getting close without getting hurt. Every one of us carries our own little arsenal of quills – condemnation, rejection, resentment, arrogance, selfishness, envy, contempt. But believe it or not, porcupines learn to pull in their quills and dance and we can too!
