Do I Need Faith That Moves Mountains? How is faith manifested and lived out? It is not the amount of faith, but the object of faith. What or more importantly who you have your faith …IN! Gideon needed help to build up his faith. God used the paradox of reductions as Gideon, and me/you, need to know it is God not you. God uses the dream of a Midianite to encourage Gideon trust in God is what he rea...

Can I hear God speak to me? A big question for a Christian is how can I hear God for myself? Probably, the supplementary question would be how can I know it is God? We hold three core beliefs on this: - God does still speak today - Everyone can (not necessarily does) hear God. - God is speaking, are we listening? Gideon is still unsure so asks God to confirm and reconfirm what He had said. How to...

How Can God Ever Use Me? In a time where oppression and trial effects the Israelites, Gideon questions God asking him how could the worst have happened to them? But through the questioning and doubt, God keeps reassuring Gideon that he’s with him, he’s sending him and that he’s a mighty warrior! How do we feel if we’ve hit a time in life of difficulty and pain of feeling we are of no use? Do you q...

Weak Shoulders Pastor Justyn brings us Part 3 of our teaching series Upon His Shoulders speaking on what responsibilities God has put on our shoulders and if there is something to surrender to God whilst admitting we have weak shoulders.

Untenable Adjective - (especially of a position or view) not able to be maintained or defended against attack or objection. Have you ever been in a situation do bad, its become untenable? Louise digs deeper into the how we deal with situations and environments that become untenable, how do we, as Christians, deal with these life challenges? How does God set us free from this?

Who Comes Out On Top? The land of Egypt has tremendous spiritual significance. Israel's redemption is a picture of our deliverance from sin and death, it a represents the nature of the system that all people are slaves to sin and the devil is a much harder taskmaster. God has a way out and a way through, Jesus, the Passover lamb, for example. We must recognise in the ongoing battle, the spiritual...

Keep Your Darkness In The Light Are you the Pharaoh? 🤔👑 We all have a negative part of our personality and a trait that needs to be dealt with - whether that’s being manipulative, judging, being dishonest and vindictive are just a few examples. How do we deal with this negativity!? Katherine brings part 3 of our teaching series Let My People Go this Sunday in relation to this! Let My People Go -...

What can we learn from this and...

Let My People Go Environments are built brick by brick. The people of Israel are suffering in Egypt. They cry out to God and he has responded by sending them a deliverer. For us, Jesus has died to set us free. What is Christian freedom? So often, in life and as a Christian we are anything but free. God sets a forerunner for salvation with four covenant promises to his people in Exodus that apply t...

Put Away The Sword We can feel as Christians as easy targets, there is a sense that the same tolerances and rules don’t apply to us. The world is always going to be the world and we are the church! There will always be Judases, Mobs, and Officials and Jesus sets how to react to each, how not to create echo chambers, and how to ‘put away the sword.’ Can we truly hold to a practice of non violence i...

We Need To Talk About Fight Club In Matthew 18 Jesus sets out how we handle conflict when it occurs - but he also underlines the point, if we can be harmony then we can shift the spiritual atmosphere, and bring His presence down to earth. How we handle offence and conflict between us is a key indicator of how mature we are as Christians, and a key element in living in a thriving spiritual atmosphe...

This is Part 4 and the final teaching in our series, Plastic brought to you by Katherine Coulson. Plastic A plastic person is materialistic, insin...

Imitations We were made to imitate. We will either copy the world around us and become a cheap knock off, or imitate the one who made us and become secure in our identity in Him. Paul calls us to imitate him as he imitates Christ, by allowing Him to transform us from the inside out, and giving us an identity that is secure even through the hardest of challenges. This is Part 3 of our September ser...

Is Jesus Lord? Lord of all, or not at all? Is Jesus Lord of all? If not, He is not Lord at all. This passage in Philippians 2 is one of the earliest Christian hymns and has is a theme of Christ’s Lordship over all. The theology that bursts forth is Jesus Christ is Lord. Not one option amongst all the others, nor is it optional for Christian living. This teaches that Jesus is spoken about in the sa...

God Finishes What He Starts   We work out our identity through the gospel. The gospel is ultimately about salvation but once there, we grow identity in Christ through grace among us. In all this we can be confident that you are not yet the person who God wants you to be. But YET is a very important word. There is a lifelong process. It's HIS work, He's started, (and if you’ll let Him) He'll finish...

New Song A new song is more than singing it represents a new time and a new situation. Every new thing that God does requires a new song to make it known. When we get to the heart of worship to God we will see that worship is never about ‘me’. It is supposed to be all about God. This is Part 3 in our Summertime series brought to you by Jonny Lee. Summertime Series Across the summer we are releasin...

Walls are structures within any parts they can be protective or restrictive. The story of Nehemiah is centred around the rebuilding of a broken wall. The theme of this biblical book is about God re-establishing his people both physical...
