Knocked down but not knocked out
Cracking sermon from John Cheeseman of Holy Trinity Eastbourne. The text is 2 Corinthians 4:7-15 and the title is from JB Phillips' paraphrase of v9: "We are knocked down but we are never knocked out!"
A very encouraging word for those who are particularly struggling.

Discover Cor Deo
Peter Mead and Ron Frost are thrilled to invite you to “Discover Cor Deo.” (And Mike Reeves reckons you should go too!)
Among other things Cor Deo runs a training programme in which a small group of men join the mentors for an intensive full-time programme of study and ministry.
- The first part of the programme is part-time, from September to January, involving assigned reading and three one-day conferences (attendance not required for participants coming from overseas).
- The team then comes together for the full-time programme from February to July
On Saturday the 3rd of July there is a great opportunity to find out more about Cor Deo, the vision, the programme, the mentors, the details! Get a taste of what makes Cor Deo distinct and discover if Cor Deo is for you. You can even meet Peter and Ron in the flesh!
When? Saturday the 3rd of July, 10:30-3:30 (lunch included)
Cost? No charge, but it would be helpful if you let us know you are coming so we can reserve your place
Where? We are holding this meeting in The American Church / Whitefield Memorial Church in Tottenham Court Road, central London
Please click here for the invitation with more complete information. Go here to Cor Deo's website.
For what it's worth, I think this looks an incredible opportunity. If you're in a position to consider a year of ministry training, no matter where you are in the world, I can't think of a better way of pursuing it.

Mike Reeves on 1 Corinthians
Just listened to some wonderful, heart-warming talks from Mike on 1 Corinthians.
The Inner World of an Anorexic
A great talk by Helena Wilkinson on eating disorders. A former sufferer herself, she brilliantly captures the many paradoxes at the heart of the sufferer.
This was just one talk given at a Big House conference on eating disorders in Northern Ireland. Big House is a fantastic new organisation seeking to provide training for youth leaders and a safe place for youth to find help with difficult issues. Please do check them out, especially if you're in the province.

For more on the seven questions of spiritual theology (which is basically an affective, trinitarian pastoral theology), download these two video talks:
You won't find them anywhere else on the web I don't think. So download them now before it's taken down.
