God trains us for spiritual battle and to overcome all the difficulties of life. Look how creative God is with Samson in the Samson and the lion story. The Bible says that the Spirit of God was stirring Samson to begin to confront the Philistines (Jud 13:25). No mean feat as all his people had […]
It’s so much bigger than we thought! This story of the leper healed is in Mark 1:40-44. It is full of how Jesus approached healing and how he does so today. The story occurs at the start of Jesus’ ministry and so in Mark’s mind, is a healing that sets out Jesus’ incredible vision for […]

Recently we have heard about the impact that Billy Graham had, probably the greatest of any single man of his generation. But today I want to share about George Whitefield, a preacher that brought revival in two continents. I have summarised insights from Dallimore’s books on Whitefield, Volumes 1 and 2.
