HTB Church

Do you feel like you’re walking in the wilderness? HTB curate Rachael Wooldridge reminds us of Jesus’s own experience in the wilderness. In the midst of trials and temptation, He remembered God’s word – in times of pain and confusion, may we learn to depend more deeply on the Lord, confident of God's steadfast love. ‘For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.’ (Romans 8:38-39)

Do you feel lost in the desert? In today’s HTB Bitesize, Sarah Jackson shares from Ezekiel 47. Here Ezekiel witnesses water flowing from the temple – the same living water that Jesus offers us through His Holy Spirit. Sarah encourages us to invite His living water to flood our lives today, and to fill us with His hope and love.

Have you ever felt overlooked by someone you respect? In today’s HTB Bitesize, Nicky Lee speaks on the extraordinary promise of James 4:8. God doesn’t have more important things to attend to, or more interesting people to speak with – He simply loves to be with us, and is waiting for us to come near to Him. ‘Come near to God and he will come near to you.’ (James 4:8)

The Christmas story is about God’s love in action. In today’s HTB Bitesize, Katherine Chow shares from the Book of James about the link between experiencing the love of God and showing this love to others through our actions. In the run-up to Christmas, she encourages us to ask God to bring someone to mind who is struggling, and ask how we might be able to show them God’s love and kindness in a practical way.

Joe O'Sullivan shares an encouraging message on how to find peace in challenging times.

Have you ever been to Madame Tussauds? In today’s HTB Bitesize, Ryan Rodrigues recommends an even more inspiring place to visit – the ‘Hall of Faith’ found in the book of Hebrews. Dive in for encouragement on how to stay faithful amidst the challenges of 2020. ‘Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.’ (Hebrews 11:1)

With so many voices competing for our attention, it’s easy to feel like we’re being pulled in different directions. In today’s HTB Bitesize, Stephen Foster shares from Ezekiel 11 and encourages us with God’s promise to give His people an ‘undivided heart’ and ‘put a new spirit in them’ (v.18).

In today’s HTB Bitesize, Jemima Haley reflects on the dangers of putting our trust in our own abilities and craving the praise and approval of others. She challenges us to place our confidence in God alone, and know our worth in Him.

Katherine Chow encouraged us with a message on the unshakeable hope that we have in Jesus. ‘A bruised reed he will not break, and a smoldering wick he will not snuff out, till he has brought justice through to victory.’ (Matthew 12:20)

What do you picture when you think of glory? In today’s HTB Bitesize, Rachael Wooldridge recounts a particularly competitive game of hide and seek and reflects on how, in contrast, God makes himself known to us in the person of Jesus. She explores how Jesus challenges our perception of glory, and encourages us to pray to see God’s glory in the ordinary moments of life, wherever we are today.
