    Tranquility is the New Transformation

    We have all felt the overwhelming societal pressure to “stay busy”, whether it be during these times, or before. Many of us have been furloughed from work and now have less of a rigid agenda to akin to. This allows us to carve out space for a new daily routine, one that can hit pause…

    5 Top Tips to Stay Mentally Healthy During COVID-19

    Staying mentally well during this time is very important to us all. Roman chapter 12:2 states; and be not conformed to this world, but be ye transformed by renewing your mind, that you may prove what is the good and acceptable and perfect will of God. My name is Sharon, alongside being a proud member…

  • A World In Fear

    A World In Fear

    I was 20 years old and a member of a Church youth group. I was occasionally asked to participate in the regular Sunday evening Church Gospel meeting by preaching a sermon. One of the Church elders, Mr Dennett I believe his name was, had invited me and a couple of my friends to his home…

    Rescued

    When Rob McKinney steps up to the microphone to share the Sunday morning teaching at COM CHURCH, Dunstable, you know that you are in for a treat. Not only will it be based on sound scripture, but it will also be interspersed with hilarious throw away one-liners, delivered in Rob’s gentle Belfast brogue. His theme…

  • Alignment, Refinement, Assignment

    It’s new year and there are plenty of peppy rhymes, memes, posters and bumper stickers to be had! But I loved this set of words which Sarah used in her message (click above) Take a listen if you missed it. As she was explaining the points, some analogies were popping through my brain.  It’s new…

  • Red Letter Day

    Red Letter Day

    I love the timeless words of scripture; the words that are as relevant today as they were when first penned. I love how you can read a piece of scripture dozens of times and yet one time it hits you – bamm – right in the heart, right in your soul and you wonder how you’d missed its new meaning before. I also love debating…

    #BLESSED – Week 1 [Happiness]

    Who doesn’t want to be happy? I’m sure we could all do with a little more happiness in our lives! But how do we go about it? What would truly make us happy? For some it might be finding a spouse or having children. Perhaps it’s about getting a good education. Or maybe the dream…

  • Shut Up And Listen!

    Shut Up And Listen!

    2018 has been a very mixed year. There have been a number of trials at work which contributed to five months off work very poorly with my mental health. I didn’t like going out, was extremely anxious and really struggled with everything. I was self-harming and I’m sure I was pretty difficult to live with. I…

  • Christmas is Light

    Christmas is Light

    I think every year most people have a “Christmas is soon” moment; that moment when something triggers in our subconscious mind that reinforces the fact that the season is upon us. For me it hits home when I hear the song “Driving Home For Christmas” by Chris Rea. It’s a great picture song that captures…

  • Feel the fire, stay in the kitchen

    At the time of writing, we are currently in a season called “Power Lines” at COM Church. In between Easter and Pentecost, we are looking at living life in the Spirit and what that means for us as Christians. Throughout the last few weeks, we have heard testimony of the amazing power of Jesus at…
