  • Jesus’ hour – joining into the story

    As we move through the events of Holy Week, I invite you to enter into the “Gethsemane moment” in John’s gospel, from John 12. Some Greeks – simply meaning those who were not Jewish – appeared before several of the disciples and asked if they could see Jesus. This to Jesus signified that his hour had come, and he set his face to the cross.

    Here is the link to the video where I lead this prayer exercise, hosted by Coracle.

    This prayer exercise forms part of the online course that Waverley Abbey Trust produced on The Prayers of Jesus, complete with small-group guide.

    Let me know if you use this prayer exercise, and if you’re willing, how God met you. May entering the story of Jesus and his hour enrich your faith in him and your love for others.

  • Praying Jesus’ prayer

    Jesus loved his friends, and taught them how to pray. This prayer may be so familiar to us that we skim over it, but we can slow down and ponder each phrase for encouragement, inspiration, and delight. Join me in the amazing ruins of Waverley Abbey, the first monastery in Britain, as I lead us through this prayer.

    This prayer exercise forms part of the online course that Waverley Abbey Trust produced on The Prayers of Jesus, complete with small-group guide.

    Let me know if you use this prayer exercise, and if you’re willing, how God met you. May praying the words Jesus prayed enrich your faith in him and love for others.

  • New Online Resource! The Prayers of Jesus

    Looking for resources for Lent? Last year we released an interactive small-group resource called The Prayers of Jesus, published by Waverley Abbey Resources, in which we explore 6 of the 7 prayers of Jesus in the gospels. It gives you the tools for leading the session, such as prayers, activities, background on the particular prayer of Jesus, discussion questions, and a prayer activity for the group.

    And this year we’ve put together an online resource for you! Here’s an introductory video.

    You can’t tell from the photo above, but I was shivering as we taped a lot of the course at the 1400 year old ruins of Waverley Abbey. It’s a gorgeous thin space, and made an amazing setting. But chilly and drizzly!

    The six sessions include:

    • Session introduction
    • Exploration of the prayer with Micha Jazz (these discussion are AMAZING and a huge added bonus!)
    • Prayer exercise
    • Closing comments

    You can use this course with your small group or on your own. You can register your interest here with Waverley Abbey; it should be available next week. I pray it will help you meet with Jesus!

    If you’d like to get copies of the small-group guide from me, here’s my discount plan:

    1-6 copies, 16% discount, £5 each plus postage
    7-9 copies, 21% discount £4.75 each plus postage
    10 or more, 25% discount, £4.50 each plus postage

    If you’re not in the UK, I’m happy to send it to you, but postage might be prohibitive.

    May praying the words Jesus prayed enrich your faith in him and love for others.

  • New Lent resource: The Prayers of Jesus

    Looking for resources for Lent? Looking for someone to give a talk on the prayers of Jesus during Lent?

    I’ve written an interactive small-group resource for Lent called The Prayers of Jesus, published by CWR (Waverley Resources) in which we explore 6 of the 7 prayers of Jesus in the gospels. It gives you the tools for leading the session, such as prayers, activities, background on the particular prayer of Jesus, discussion questions, and a prayer activity for the group.

    I’m really excited about it because I’m excited about the prayers of Jesus! I’m especially thrilled that I was able to add the prayer activities to this format, for when we make time to pray together, we find that God responds in amazing ways.

    Would you like me to zoom into your meeting/service during Lent to give a talk? I have a limited number of spaces available. I’m not charging a fee to come but I’d be grateful if I could supply the booklets to your small groups. Contact me if you’re interested.
