Good News In The Season Of Storms: What A Storm Offers

Easter: A Life Story
09/04/2023 Duración: 43minJesus' story is that death didn't get the final word. Life did. Resurrection life. And his promise was that this new life is ours to share. Life always trumps death!

Character That Changes The World: Growing Godly
19/03/2023 Duración: 39minThe call to be as holy as God is holy sounds as odd now as it probably did when it was first written down in Leviticus. Is this even possible? And what would it look like on the school run, or handling finances, or dealing with the awkward colleagues or aging family?
-
Character That Changes The World: Don’t Quit
12/03/2023 Duración: 21minMany people are good starters. Perseverance is the quality that ensures you finish well. Peter sees it as essential for those running this Christian race.
-
Character That Changes The World: I Couldn’t Help It
05/03/2023 Duración: 34minSelf-control is one of the most underrated virtues. We can excuse ourselves too easily when we give into the temptations that surround us so often. How do we grow in self-control?
-
Character That Changes The World: You Know What?
26/02/2023 Duración: 25minToday knowledge can feel just 2 clicks away on Google. But is that knowledge, information, what Peter meant? Sometimes it can feel like it is, and those who have this knowledge can feel superior to everyone else. That’s dangerous. But what if Peter meant there was a different way of growing in knowledge? What if it was about a growing relationship – both with God and others. What does it take to get that sort of knowledge?
-
Character That Changes The World: For Goodness Sake?
19/02/2023 Duración: 28minGoodness can sound soft and prissy. No one wants to be called a goody-two shoes. Unless you have faced the opposite and been the victim of evil. Goodness is the authentic integrity that is creative and trustworthy. It may not be glamorous but it makes all the difference in the world.

Character That Changes The World: Faith That Makes A Difference
12/02/2023 Duración: 29minI believe lots of things that make no real difference to my day to day life. New Testament faith is different. It was never a static acceptance but trust in a person who transformed everything. Faith was dynamic. And it was the bedrock for everything else that would be possible…
-
Churches That Change The World: Is This Right?
05/02/2023 Duración: 34minWhy did Paul send Onesimus back? Was he encouraging slavery? How do we read the New Testament on these issues when we hold to different views of what is right?
-
Churches That Change The World: Costly Forgiveness
29/01/2023 Duración: 36minLet’s not fool ourselves: forgiveness always costs something. Always did, always will. Relationships will occasionally rupture. Forgiveness is the way they can be repaired. How do we do this?
-
Churches That Change The World: Subverted Hierarchies
15/01/2023 Duración: 33minThis church lived at a time when everyone knew their place. Rank mattered and brought privileges. If you were at the top of the pile you could order people around. Paul modelled a different way. He chose to appeal rather than to order. He demonstrated how we subvert the natural hierarchies.
-
Churches That Change The World: Names Matter
08/01/2023 Duración: 35minAs we learn one another’s names and enter one another’s stories, we are given the opportunity to grow more than we might ever have imagined…

And when we cannot tune in
20/02/2022 Duración: 26minThere are times when we just can’t hear, and it may be that we are sure God is silent. What do we do in these situations?
-
Tune in to Circumstances
13/02/2022 Duración: 29minPaul and his companions were stuck because of circumstances and they changed their plans because of that and a vision. How do we know how to make sense of the circumstances we find ourselves in? When should we press on regardless of roadblocks and when should we take stock?
-
Tune in for Others
06/02/2022 Duración: 26minProphecy is for the sake of others. It’s a clear reminder that we listen to God because we are part of a community that we care for. Hearing from God is not a personal luxury – it’s a church necessity.
-
Tune in to the Unexpected
30/01/2022 Duración: 30minAngels, visions, unexpected meetings, dramatic turns. If angels only turned up once in the Bible it would be easy to overlook them. But they are everywhere! How do we make sense of that today in a society that sees itself as far too sophisticated to believe this?
-
Tune in to the Active Word
23/01/2022 Duración: 24minWe believe that reading the Bible is one of the foundational ways to hear God speak to us. But how do we hear a word that we might find difficult to understand? How do we read well so we can hear well?
-
Tune in to the Skies
16/01/2022 Duración: 39minThe psalmist believed that observing nature was a way of hearing the Lord who is speaking every day to any who have eyes to see. How do we see clearly so that we can hear well?
-
Tune in to God
09/01/2022 Duración: 37minThe promise of Jesus was that God would speak to his people because we are his friends. We would increasingly grow to recognise his voice. Of course, the challenge is: do we want to hear? Are we prepared to listen? Are we ready to respond if we do hear his voice?

And so it begins…
02/01/2022 Duración: 33minA young out-of-town couple in a whirl, an old couple, part of the furniture in the Temple, easily overlooked. And a baby. Luke loves these sorts of people, because he knows that Jesus loves to spend time with them. And it's the way the salvation story unfolds. It did then, it still does now. As another uncertain new year begins for us.
