Steve Goulds opens up chapter 1 of the Epistle of James. James tells Christians to count it all joy in difficult times. Today we hear of individualism, self-fulfilment, relativity and comfort. Steve explains how James urges Christians to hold to their faith even when assailed with doubt, loss of identity and blame. God's goodness is not shifting whatever the circumstances.

The story of Daniel's interpreting Nebuchadnezzar's dream tells how this happened out of the trouble Daniel and his three friends faced. How they went to prayer, how God gave wisdom and how Daniel acted. Trouble can come at any time, but we can go to God for help and the situation can be turned to give God glory.

Cameron Oliver speaks about the need to be led and empowered by the Holy Spirit and to exercise the gifts of the Holy Spirit

'JYKL + HYD' is a song that sheds light on a part of youth culture. A part of youth culture that affects our community and which is permeating into wider society. Owen Hylton picks out the elements of truth spoken by Dave but also explains that God is, and can do, much more than Dave understands.

'I'm only human after all' https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L3wKzyIN1yk is an honest song about the human condition: an acknowledgement of a mixture of failure and fear and of deflecting blame. Owen Hylton observes that our culture puts the human at the centre and ends up in the grip of human failings. If we put God at the centre, we gain His love and comfort. This is expressed in the song 'Living...

Owen Hylton speaks on one of our foundational truths: creating and keeping a culture of grace. He reflects on God's acceptance of us through the death of Jesus; and how our acceptance by God allows us to grow in grace and to bring its fruit into our lives (in humility, freedom, devotion and service); and how the fruit of grace will also be reflected in how we extend grace to others.
