Mouthpiece for truth and justice.

31st July 2022 by Rev. Darren Smith

Video

2 Sam. 12:1-13. Speaking out about truth and justice needs wisdom and a right motivation. It’s easy simply to speak out of anger or resentment or self-interest. In most contexts, to speak up is potentially costly because you are calling someone on their actions. This is what being ‘a mouthpiece for truth and justice’ means […]

Moulding culture.

24th July 2022 by Dr. David Law

Audio

Matthew 5: 13-16. The call to the Old Testament people of God had always been that they were to be those who would represent God’s plan for the whole world. They would be different not for the sake of difference, but that they might reveal God’s plan for the whole world. It’s no surprise that […]

Making Good Work.

17th July 2022 by Rob Giles

Video

Genesis 1-2, Col 3.22-4.1. Working is part of being created, it’s part of why we are as we are, and that although we live in a frustrated and fallen world that affects everything we are involved in, we still can work in a way that brings glory to God. We were created to work – […]

Ministering Grace and Love.

14th July 2022 by Rachel Tole

Audio

Luke 10:25-37. In a context of being asked what God demands of us, Jesus points to the central action of lives that are shaped by acts of love – love towards God and love towards the people around us, our neighbours. ‘Go and do likewise’ presumably means go and show the same mercy to those […]

Modelling Godly Character .

26th June 2022 by Revd. Paul Lewis

Galatians 5: 13-26. Paul’s concern for the Galatians is that they don’t allow themselves to get side-tracked from their faith in Jesus. They were in danger of listening to those who suggested that Jesus was great and His death and resurrection were important – if only they stuck with the Jewish practice of the law […]

Created to be Fruitful.

19th June 2022 by Jean Spencer

Video

Genesis 1:24-31, Colossians 1:1-20. This passage is such a highpoint of Paul’s writing. It has a majestic view of Jesus, the church and God’s plans for the whole world. It is a definite mountain top moment in the letter. Paul begins by reminding them that they have been brought out of one way of life […]

Connecting with God, Unshakeable Holy Spirit: The Spirit guides.

12th June 2022 by Revd. Paul Lewis

Video

Acts 16: 1 – 15. It is easy to read the opening verses of Acts 16 as if Paul was doing exactly what he wanted, when he wanted, and how he wanted (1-5). But we know from the full breadth of Paul’s teaching that he constantly let the Holy Spirit guide him, and that he […]

Connecting with God, Unshakeable Holy Spirit: The Spirit fills.

5th June 2022 by Revd. Paul Lewis

Video

Acts 2: 1-41. To fully grasp all that took place when the Holy Spirit came down on God’s people at Pentecost, we need to recognise the “heart” of Pentecost (1-21). That happens as we see the importance of the outward expression of the Holy Spirit, but the inner experience of the heart must come first. […]

Connecting with God, Unshakeable Holy Spirit: The Spirit unites.

29th May 2022 by Revd. Paul Lewis

Video

Ephesians 4: 1-16. In John 13:35 we have the words of Jesus declaring: “This is how everyone will know that you are my disciples: if you love one another”. That happens through unity. In his commentary on Ephesians in the Bible Speaks Today series, John Stott helps us understand from Ephesians 4 how unity depends […]

Connecting with God, Unshakeable Holy Spirit: The Spirit equips.

22nd May 2022 by Dr. David Law

Video

1 Corinthians 12. The Apostle Paul is keen to make sure that the people of God don’t remain uninformed about the gifts of the Holy Spirit through which we are equipped. He sets that out in three distinct, yet intertwined, ways as he shows us: The purpose of the gifts (vs. 1-3): to bring glory […]
