Today, Emily Layzell shares a message from Romans 3:22 and how sometimes we might fall into times of trying to earn God’s love and forgiveness. However, through this passage we can take assurance that God’s love is for everyone, you can’t earn it. God’s love is given, you just have to receive it.

Today, Stephen Foster looks at Proverbs 17:9, ‘Whoever would foster love covers over an offence.' How do you act when a friend causes you offence? We are encouraged to look to the cross, to know that Jesus’ forgiveness, won for us on the cross, means that we can receive forgiveness, freedom and peace, and foster love in our hearts.

For today's HTB Bitesize, Kira Taylor looks at the story of God encouraging Jonah to preach to the Ninevites and how Jonah resists as he believes they are beyond redemption. Today we are reminded that no one is beyond hope, no one is beyond redemption and no one is beyond God's love. Join us every Sunday for HTB at Home https://www.htb.org/

In Matthew 11:28, Jesus said, 'Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.' What does it mean to consciously rest?

Welcome to HTB Bitesize. Today Martyn Layzell reflects on the words ‘O God do not keep silent’ that are cried out in Psalm 83. Have you had times in this crisis where you have been praying and praying, but God seems silent? Today we are reminded that silence does not mean absence and in those moments God is still present. It’s in these times we need to press into our faith, look to God to be our great strength, and to grow in depth and maturity with Him. HTB Bitesize is a daily moment to pause, reflect and receive encouragement for the day ahead. Join us every Sunday for HTB at Home https://www.htb.org/athome

Reflecting on Jesus' conversation with the Samaritan woman at the well in John 4, Katherine Chow shares how we don't need to have our lives sorted to encounter God. God knows you to your depths and yet He loves you to the skies. This is the kind of God that we worship and this is the God who is interested in having a conversation with you today.

'When we fix our eyes on the cross, we can know through the spirit that we are children of God... We are loved, loved into the family of God.' Hear Jemima Adjei's powerful message, from Sunday's HTB at Home service, about how we can find belonging in the Kingdom of God. Join us for church every Sunday https://www.htb.org/athome
