In this message, Paul Jukes talks about how David learned to walk in a God-given confidence. David knew who he was and who he wasn't. He wasn't used to Saul's armour, he knew his limitations; therefore, he used the gifts that God had given to him. In doing so, David knew God was with him and that he was not alone, therefore he walked faithfully and confidently with God. For more information about...

Using the passage in John 15 in which Jesus describes himself as the real vine and we are the branches, Sara Jukes shares a personal testimony about what God has been doing in and through her during her recent sabbatical. Like many people in the bible, we ask God plenty of 'why' questions. Instead, Sara encourages us to get to know the who! God, the gardener knows best! He prunes and breaks off th...

Continuing our Back to Basics series, Rhi Davies shares on the subject of God's grace. Using the example of Rahab in the bible, Rhi illustrates that grace is a gift for all, regardless of status and without condition.

Continuing our Back to Basics series, Rob Pitts further elaborates on a verse quoted by Jesus when asked to name the greatest commandment. In Mark 12, Jesus responds by saying that, "you must love the Lord your God ... and ... ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’" This is an all-in command and not an half-hearted option. The love mentioned in this verse is first of all, a love for God, secondly a lov...

Psalm 19 is full of incredible imagery of the sky, the heavens and the universe. Drawing parallels with our own solar system, Jonny uses three key words to describe God. Firstly, God is majestic. Like our sun, God is huge! Secondly, God is meticulous. The moon and sun are placed precisely where they need to be in order to sustain life. Our Creator meticulously planned everything and cares about ev...

In Ethan's own words, Psalm 143 is like a huggable prayer. It offers us insight into the relationship that God had with King David, a man after His own heart. We see that David changed his perspective whilst going through a tough time of life. He was in hiding due to his own son's rebellion and betrayal, but it was his knowledge of God and his remembering what God had done for him, that got him th...

Using the picture of a window, Jo Royle takes us through Psalm 37, highlighting three features of a window that can help us understand this Psalm.

Psalm 37 is filled with countless promises that provide the most bea...

Using the analogy of an online competition, with a prize, terms and conditions and even small print, Dave Leese shares about Psalm 91. To enter, all we need to do is say the lines of verse 2, "He is my refuge, and my fortress, my God, in Him I will trust." Verses 14 and 15 talk about the prizes available to us.

You can have a personal relationship with God! Tim Davies shares from Genesis 28, in which God gave a personal promise to Jacob at Bethel. God promises that He is with us, He will watch over us, He will bring us back and He will not leave us.

Sara Jukes shares a message about water baptism. Jesus was perfect and did not need to be baptised, but he intentionally chose to be baptised so that He could publicly show that He surrendered to God's will. God wants to share His affirmation and approval with us, and this is something that even Jesus wanted. No matter what our past, Jesus wants to have a relationship with us. Baptism is a signifi...

In verses like Psalm 100:4, we discover that there are multiple Hebrew words for our English word, 'praise' such as yadah, today and barakh.
