It was an exceptional night and many lives were impacted by Jesus Christ as a result.

We've started a CAP debt advice centre here in King's Church in partnership with Christian Against Poverty this week - really excited to see how we can reach out and help people be free from the burden of debt here in Manchester as we continue to Make Jesus Famous in the City! - for more details contact us on 0161 276 8193

It was great to watch the final stages of the Ryder Cup yesterday and see the European team win by a narrow margin against the USA team. There were some great performances amidst the changeable weather of South Wales!

One thing that I repeatedly noticed throughout the tournament in interviews with the players was how much they went on about the team ethic, spirit and camaraderie. They all spoke of how they play on their own in nearly every other golf tournament in the world- it is very individualistic sport in that sense but when you come to the Ryder Cup, it's so different and unique. In this tournament it's all about playing in a team and working towards a common goal and vision.

It got me thinking about God and how we are to relate together as God's People. The truth is God has never been on his own. He has eternally been Father, Son & Holy Spirit - One God, Three Persons dwelling together in unity, love and power - God has always been a team.

In relation to the Church: how much more should we relate to one another in this same way as a team where everyone is for one another, believes in one another and loves one another from the heart. We are people who should lives our lives to set up opportunities and openings for one another that help us reach our common goal & destination of Heaven on Earth as Jesus is made famous in the world around us.

We can easily become lone rangers in the church and not play our part in the team. God has always wanted a family to represent him in the world. He has always wanted a people who would exercise and demonstrate his awesome love and power to those that they meet.

He's not looking for an individual hero, mega-star & celebrity christian to do this. He's looking for a team to do this - he calls it the Church. We cannot do it in our own. We need to do it together.

Great Song from Chris Tomlin that my good friend Paul introduced me to on Holiday last week - I love God, I love cities and I love people! - This song combines the truth of the miracle working power of God that is work in cities such as Manchester, Salford, Liverpool and beyond!
