The Gospel as inclusive and healing.

17th March 2019 by Revd. Paul Lewis

Audio

John 3:1-21; 4:1-42; 4:43-54; 5:1-15; 9:1-34; 11:1-44 John uses two contrasting examples of a person’s standing in community to make a point. The first is Nicodemus (chapter 3), a member of the social elite of the time, the Sanhedrin, and a respected teacher. He came to Jesus under the cover of darkness so that his […]

The Gospel as miraculous and holy.

10th March 2019

Audio

John 2:1 – 25; John 6 1 – 24. John very quickly moves from introducing the person of Jesus, to emphasising the miraculous power of Jesus. In doing that he confronts his readers early on with an understanding of Jesus through a revelation of his glory. Yes, the miracles are a sign of power as […]

When life gets complicated.

Audio

1 Timothy 6: 7 – 16.

Commendations and Instructions.

17th February 2019 by Revd. Paul Lewis

Audio

Romans 16: 1 – 27. There’s plenty that we can see in this final chapter that goes beyond it being just a list of names! Paul is still instructing us how to keep on “living the gospel” here. His list of names cuts across social divisions as he includes Jews, Gentiles, freed slaves and the […]

Living a personal mission.

10th February 2019 by Jean Spencer

Audio

Romans 15: 14-33 It feels as though this section of Romans is the start of Paul bringing things to a conclusion, but he still has plenty to say. He uses his own example, his own working out of what it means to be “living the gospel” to encourage us to be: priestly (vs. 14-17); powerful […]

Unity of Life and Worship.

3rd February 2019 by Revd. Paul Lewis

Audio

Romans 14:1 – 15:13 Romans 15:5-6 are key verses that enable us to understand this whole section. Paul calls those who are “living the gospel” to unity of life and worship. Where lifestyles or opinions differ, Paul brings it all back to unity in Christ. Where some are stronger and others are weaker, Paul brings […]

Let love out of the building.

27th January 2019 by Dr. David Law

Audio

Romans 12:9 – 13:14 Romans 12: 14-21 are like a bridge that joins up the way that we love each other within the church, and the way that we go about “living the gospel” as we move around in the world, still showing the same love that we show towards each other. That’s so crucial […]

Choose to Love.

20th January 2019 by Revd. Paul Lewis

Audio

Romans 12: 9-21. Love is a dominant theme in a number of Paul’s letters. In Romans he gives attention to how we show love within the church, as well as beyond our church community. That begins with love for each other as we keep our “spiritual fervour serving the Lord”. The encouragement is for us […]

Be part of the family.

13th January 2019 by Jacob Wain

Audio

Romans 12: 1-8 As we come back to Romans, we firstly have the reminder in verses 1-2 of where we left things at the end of November: “in view of God’s mercy” we need to live transformed lives – we need to be “living the gospel”. Paul helps us to apply that to the way […]

Living God’s plan.

6th January 2019 by Dave Bell

Audio

Matthew 2: 1-23. “As soon as you find Him, report to me, so that I too may go & worship Him”. Really? That’s really what you want to do is it – worship the new-born King? The truth of King Herod’s message to the Magi was masking his own plans. Yet, as this part of […]
