• November’s 4 minute 48 second family talk Acts 12

    ‘I do believe, Lord please help my unbelief’ I make the most of every opportunity to share Scripture whether in speech or in song. I didn’t do a Cathedral Family Service Talk this month so I thought I would share with you one of my favourite stories from the book of Acts. Forgive me if I speak a little quickly at times but when it’s not ‘live’ I like to keep it to around 5 minutes, when live, I allow myself a few minutes more because I’m actually there facing you and talking to you. https://www.youtube.com/@ishmaelssongs7693 You can watch it here on Ishmaels Songs YouTube channel.

  • Sunday’s song ‘Almighty Lord’ Ps 71 v 5

    Well, thank you Lord because today we are celebrating our 250th brand new Scripture song. I filmed the first way back in August 2022 with just a few of you interested but now each song gets between 500 to 1000 watchers on Facebook alone! I am amazed that so many songs can come out of so few guitar chords! Am I using the same tune for every song? Maybe…but hey who cares. It’s the words that we need to meditate upon. Please keep telling your friends to tune in on Sundays and Wednesdays. Oh …. And I’ve not quite finished writing these little Scripture verse songs just yet, as there…

  • F Ishy’s Friday Forgotten Song.

    4 days ago When I wrote this song I was trying to get my head around a very sad bereavement and not only needed to write a song about Lazarus, but also needed to memorise one of my favourite things that Jesus said found in John 11 verse 25. Just to balance out all the simple little Scripture Songs that I’m writing for you, for a while I’d also like to share with you one of my, how can I put it, favourite older ‘more substantial’ songs each Friday that many of you won’t know or will have forgotten.All the songs will be available to watch again on my Ishmaels…

  • A rather different Christmas gift.

    Although you may feel this could be the worst Christmas present to give to a believer who is suffering from cancer, actually, as our ‘when the road is rough and steep’ testimony concert (which is about this book) have proved, it could be the most encouraging gift that they could receive. Being so totally honest about the fears and treatment effects, they will relate to so much of what is written and being so totally positive about Jesus being there with us through it all, we believe it will help to lift them spiritually. As you can see, we have kept the price really low because we so want those…

  • Wednesday’s song is ‘‘Jesus said I share my words’ Jn 16 v 33

    We cannot expect life to be easy in this world, but we can rejoice in the fact that Jesus has overcome it! For any interested. Please do take a look. Every Wednesday and Sunday I post up a brand-new short Scripture song’ video on my Ishmaels Songs YouTube channel. https://www.youtube.com/@ishmaelssongs7693 May I encourage you to subscribe and watch, and encourage others to listen to, and maybe learn 2 short and simple new Bible verse songs each week. You’ll thank me in the long run.If you are in the position to help financially support my ministry either by a one-off gift or by regular giving it would be so appreciated as…
