Just like North Africa? | Northern Lights
https://peterdray.wordpress.com/2011/11/22/just-like-north-africa
The blog of Peter Dray. My Sermons and Talks. November 22, 2011. Just like North Africa? Tomorrow I’m giving sessions for new UCCF staff workers on how CU small groups can be part of a CU’s mission strategy. You’re a bit like a missionary in a North African country. I remember thinking, No I’m. A missionary in a North African country! I’m a first year geography student in Bristol! He hit the nail on the head. Local churches and mission agencies cannot gain access to many areas of our universities. As...

Scribblings From My Desk: The 'one anothers'
http://peterdray.blogspot.com/2009/12/one-anothers.html
Tuesday, 8 December 2009. I've spent some time doing a word study on 'one another' of the New Testament. Most of these 'one anothers' appear to be those things we do in community with other Christians, regardless of whether they are in our own church family (although they will often find expression primarily in our local church family). It's quite a list. and a great reminder that whilst following Jesus is a personal allegiance, it's never merely private. Honour one another above yourselves (Romans 12:10).

3fifteen: Getting to Athens
http://3fifteen.blogspot.com/2009/03/getting-to-athens.html
Updates on my year on Relay. Wednesday, 25 March 2009. Next year I will be working in Athens, hence why I'm currently learning Greek. As we're in a recession, I thought I'd check out the cheapest routes to get there. By foot, Google Maps says it will take me just over 14 days to get there, but they seem to imply I'll have to take some lessons from Jesus at for the sea stage of the journey. Here it is, the cheapest route from Manchester to Athens. Posted by Tim Sandell. 26 March 2009 at 10:29. End of Year...

Organised Randomness: May 2009
http://gazleaney.blogspot.com/2009_05_01_archive.html
Friday, 22 May 2009. On Sunday morning, I'm due to preach at Memorial Community Church, Plaistow. I'll be co-leading a UCCF Summer Team. In July which will be working alongside the church, and on Sunday Abi and I will be introducing ourselves and the project (expect more blogging about that when I come back). It's a while since I've preached to a church, and I'm really looking forward to it (although my sermon is quite a long way from prepared). That's what I mean by preaching. Links to this post. I've a...

Organised Randomness: April 2009
http://gazleaney.blogspot.com/2009_04_01_archive.html
Monday, 27 April 2009. Audio Coming Out of My Ears. The recordings of not one but two quality conferences are now available online:. The Gospel Coalition 09. Top recommendation: Tim Keller on confronting idols. New Word Alive 09. Top recommendation: Dan Strange on confronting idols. One is free, one is not. Both are still excellent value though. This should keep me in stuff to listen to for about the next decade. Links to this post. Saturday, 25 April 2009. Books I Like: The Jesus Storybook Bible. I love...

Organised Randomness: August 2010
http://gazleaney.blogspot.com/2010_08_01_archive.html
Monday, 16 August 2010. For anyone who didn't realise, the title of this post is a direct but relevant reference to Glee, one of my favourite TV shows, in which the featured showchoir is called New Directions). So, my second go at this blog has kind of run out of steam. It's time for some new directions (now do you get the Glee reference? Well I just did (read it for yourself). So there you go. I'll probably leave this blog here. It's not really hurting anyone, is it? Links to this post. Who then is this.

Organised Randomness: Life Starts Here: TRUTH (...and where to find it)
http://gazleaney.blogspot.com/2009/10/life-starts-here-truth-and-where-to.html
Friday, 23 October 2009. Life Starts Here: TRUTH (.and where to find it). After a long absence, here's a talk I gave recently at Reading University during Freshers week. When I knew I had to speak on this subject, I wasn’t sure where to start, but I started thinking about why the truth is so important. It’s actually a fairly tricky question. Why is truth important? Do we need to even bother thinking about what’s true and what isn’t? 8221; to “can a boy swim fast than a shark? But I was quite pleased that...

Join me over the next 24 days as we wait for the coming of King Jesus! Links to this post. Saturday, 29 November 2008. Grace is the Word! Over the past few months, I've found myself talking about grace a lot. In my first few months working for UCCF. Partly because of all this talk about grace, and partly because I spotted it on my bookshelf, I'm reading a g...

Organised Randomness: February 2010
http://gazleaney.blogspot.com/2010_02_01_archive.html
Saturday, 13 February 2010. I've just come to the end of two tiring but brilliant weeks of CU missions with RUCU. Psalm 96 has been on my mind over the past few weeks, since Mo. Spoke on it so brilliantly at Relay 2, and it really helped me to have the right perspective throughout these focussed weeks of mission. I spoke on Psalm 96 at the launch meeting held by RUCU before their events week, and the text of my talk is below (big thanks to Mo, who did most of the prep! But I won’t. I could bargain with y...
