Simon Benham’s Blog
Hello, and thanks for making it to my blog. My name is Simon and I am the Senior Pastor here at Kerith Community Church.
This blog is a place for me to share thoughts on pretty much anything which takes my interest. This will often be related to things happening in our church community or life lessons I am in the process of learning. It could also be reflections on current world events, reviews of books I am reading or commentary on how well Newcastle United are doing in the league! You just never know what you're going to get...
I hope you find this blog interesting and insightful. If you have any ideas on topics you'd like me to write about, then please email me and I’ll see what I can do. Also, if you’d like to get these blogs sent straight to your email inbox, you can subscribe using the button below.
Happy reading,

Advent Daily Devotional - Day 8
"Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people" (Luke 2:10). These familiar words echo through countless nativity plays, but they carry a message far deeper than a simple birth announcement. God's promise is fulfilled in an unexpected way—a Savior, not as a mighty king but as a baby in humble surroundings. Just as the angel shared this joyous news with shepherds, ordinary people like us are invited to trust God's surprising plans.
