Monday 14th – Hear and Write Now!
When was the last time you stopped long enough to really listen?
In a world filled with noise, notifications and competing voices, learning to become still can feel surprisingly difficult. Yet sometimes God is speaking—not necessarily through something dramatic, but through His Word, a quiet prompting, a truth that suddenly becomes clearer, or a reminder that refuses to leave us.
“Hear and Write Now!”, a reflection by John, explores a simple but potentially transformative practice: slowing down, listening, writing and allowing what God reveals to become more deeply rooted within us.
What might happen if we didn’t simply read Scripture, but lingered with it?
What if we wrote down the things God was teaching us—and then returned to them later?
There may be more to putting pen to paper than we realise.
Could writing become part of the way you hear?
Discover “Hear and Write Now!” coming this week on Bearing Kingdom Fruit.
Friday 18th – Jairus
The 6th devotional in the Conversations with Jesus series
Written by Jill
What do you do when hope seems to slip through your fingers?
This week, we continue our Conversations with Jesus series by meeting a man whose life was suddenly overwhelmed by fear, desperation, and impossible circumstances. Faced with a situation no parent would ever want to endure, he found himself standing before the only One who could truly help.
As this moving devotional unfolds, you’ll discover how Jesus responds to desperate faith, why His timing is always perfect even when we don’t understand it, and what it means to trust Him when everything around us seems to be telling us to give up.
This isn’t just an account of a miracle from long ago—it is a powerful reminder that Jesus still meets people in their darkest moments, speaks hope into impossible situations, and invites us to place our confidence in Him rather than our circumstances.
If you’ve ever wrestled with fear, waited for an answer to prayer, or wondered whether God is still at work, this next devotional will encourage your heart and strengthen your faith.
Join us this week as we continue Conversations with Jesus and discover how one encounter with Christ can transform despair into hope.
