Is it possible to be far away from God? When someone is running away from God – how far can they get – a mile? a marathon? a million miles? Dave Gilpin, Senior Pastor of Hope City Church looks at the problem and solves it – thanks to some help from the Bible! It’s a Hope City video treat! Enjoy.

Dave shares some of the wisdom of his recent messages preached at Hope City Church. From vision to practical issues, the weekly blog will keep you in touch with all that’s going on in Dave’s mind.

I’m so looking forward to having you all at the BLink Leadership Summit in only a short time now! For so many, it’s the best thing they go to because it’s one of the rare round table conferences that looks at the engine room of church life in the company of pastors and their core tem only – book in today – you’ll love it!!

Dave is back from Australia having had a great trip catching up with friends and speaking in some fantastic churches. He is on the rampage to break the hold of sin on peoples lives. His aim is to avoid the after taste of sin lingering for years and even generations but instead taste the freedom that Christ came to give.

Around the turn of the last century, an evangelist called Gypsy Smith created a storm in both Britain and America, seeing thousands of people swept into the hands of God. Upon seeing the crowds filling the aisles for salvation, he would place his hand into the pocket of his jacket and grasp the peg.

In this weeks blog, Dave looks at the importance of humility, which has been a reappearing post-it note throughout his ministry life. Dave has had little reminders from heaven to keep him in check and on target to help the broken and reach the lost. Dave enforces the need to take the issue of humility seriously. Everyone needs to remember where they came from to be able to connect with people and remain in a place of thankfulness to the God that rescued us in the first place.
