Celebrate Recovery | "The purpose of Celebrate Recovery is to fellowship and celebrate God's healing
power in our lives through the 8 Recovery Principles. This experience allows
us to 'be changed.' By working and applying these Biblical principles, we begin
to grow spiritually. We become free from our addictive, compulsive and
dysfunctional behaviours, and discover our personal, loving and forgiving
Higher Power - Jesus Christ, the one and only true Higher Power." For information from other Salt and Light UK churches doing the course contact Geoff Norridge |

Credit Action resources | Credit Action is a national money education charity committed to helping people manage their money better. Our passion is to help people stay in control, rather than let money control them and disrupt their lives through over indebtedness. We produce a range of resources which help everybody handle their money well. Credit Action operates at a local level through a network of volunteers who play a vital and very varied range of roles. | |

Demolishing Strongholds | David Devenish shares insights drawn from many years of personal experience
in helping people break free from strongholds that have bound them. In this
no-nonsense guide to spiritual warfare, he gives us effective strategies for
spiritual warfare which include: Having a biblical model; keeping a balance
between the reality of Satan and the demonic realm, our responsibility for our actions, and the absolute sovereignty of God; understanding that strongholds are wrong thinking; understanding our authority in Christ; knowing our weapons and using them. Geoff Norridge, leader of our Pastoral Training Course, reckons its the most-balanced resource around on this subject! |
