Blind man seeing!
“I am the Light of the World” (John 8:12) How do we react when we read these simple but beautiful, and certainly immensely powerful words by Jesus? It’s such a life-enhancing declaration by the Lord but can feel a little abstract and almost lofty in comparison to the ugly turmoil and turbulence we encounter too…

Catching life, not words
“Later they sent some of the Pharisees and Herodians to Jesus to catch him in his words.” They came to him and said, “Teacher, we know that you are a man of integrity. You aren’t swayed by others, because you pay no attention to who they are; but you teach the way of God in…

He forgave me
Deep calls to deep in the roar of his waterfallsAll His forgiving waves cascade onto me.Those, myself, walking in darkness, too oftenOf our own making, have seen His great light.And it’s wonderful. And it’s unexpected. And it’s everything. The cross and calvary – we never stray too farFrom that love, which binds us to freedom. When despair…

Raining harmony
“He draws up the drops of water, which distill as rain to the streams.” (Job 36:27) Every drop. God knows every single drop that falls from the sky. We don’t think of that when we observe, “It’s raining.” We just think nonchalantly that water is washing down en masse from above. But the Lord has…

The Exact Truth
Adapted notes from a message by Chris Eyte with Bible readings by his wife Celine for The Hill Church in Swansea, 14th December 2025 Inasmuch as many have undertaken to compile an account of the things accomplished among us, just as they were handed down to us by those who from the beginning were eyewitnesses…

Thorns and Diadems
And I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse, and He who sat on it is called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He judges and wages war. His eyes are a flame of fire, and on His head are many diadems; and He has a name written on Him which no one knows…
