In the run-up to Christmas we conclude our series in Isaiah looking at some of the promises of the coming Messiah and in a dark world we thank God for the promise of Immanuel - which means 'God with us'.

If you are a Christian you probably have some sense that when it comes to decisions in your life, especially big decisions, you want to be doing what God wants. But how do we know what God wants? How do I tell the difference between God's voice and my own thoughts and desires? Keith explores this theme this morning.

Amy Bland was our speaker at this year's West of Cambridge Joint Service. As many local churches closed their own buildings and met together, Amy took the theme 'Where do I fit?' - to explore how we all have a special place in the church - each with a vital role to play.

Does the Bible tell us about what is going to happen at the 'end of the world'? We've been looking at the Old Testament book of Isaiah this term and we've seen how some of his prophecies were fulfilled in the short term, some hundreds of years later in the life and death of Jesus - but others are pointing to the end of time, and are still in our future. But what does he say, and wh...

With the backdrop of all that is happening in Israel and Gaza, Richard, from Jews for Jesus shares from Isaiah 58 on God's desire for justice, peace and reconciliation. We will think about how we can pray for the situation but also our responsibility to be those who live this way.

Even a quick glance at Jesus' teaching in the Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5-7) reveals that in so many areas of our lives we need a total re-work of the ways in which we think and behave.

Although written hundreds of years before Jesus' birth the book of Isaiah gives us many images of who Jesus would be, what he would do, and its significance for us.

700 years before Jesus, Isaiah predicts many details of Jesus' death - and he wants us to know that this was no accident, and that it was so that we might know peace with God.

Our news is full of stories of ashes, mourning and despair. Something that Isaiah's audience were familiar with - living through the exile. What words of hope does Isaiah have for them and for us?

As we continue our series in Isaiah God offers an invitation to the people - but will they accept?

In this episode Dr Ruth Bancewicz from The Faraday Institute explores topics related science and faith. There are a few points in Ruth's talks that will make more sense with images - so pop over to our YouTube channel for the video if you want the full effect.

What are the comforts and the challenges of knowing what God is like?

Isaiah experiences God's grace and forgiveness and immediately volunteers for a ministry that from a human perspective would be judged a failure. But Isaiah isn't interested in the human perspective - but only what God thinks.

In this series we're looking at some of the key themes in the book of Isaiah and seeing how these words, written about 2,500 years ago, can have anything to say to us today.

During our harvest thanksgiving service we were thinking about those things we want to thank God for and how we can help others locally and further away.

Bringing our summer series to a close we're looking at the story of Onesimus and Philemon.
