In this teaching series we'll see how it's a st...

Acts 2.42-47 As the first church gets going, we're told that they devoted themselves to three things: truth, togetherness and prayer. In this one-off message, we explore how, as a church, we can devote ourselves in the same way to be a people who are in deep community with one another, and who reach out to the city we're in. 

2 Corinthians 4.7-18  In this one off message, we are invited to look ahead to the eternal weight of glory which will one day be ours and discover how knowing what we are awaiting reframes the way we can understand our hardships and sufferings now. 

Luke 23.32-43 As Jesus hangs on a cross, dying and in pain, he talks to a criminal dying alongside him and makes an eternity changing promise.

Haggai 2.20-23. What is going to happen next? In times that feel uncertain and that no one is in control, God wants us to know he has everything in hand. As the book of Haggai closes, God speaks to his people to reassure them of his power, and how he is going to work to show himself to be faithful to every promise he has made them, as he takes up his "signet ring" once again. 

Haggai 2.10-19. God's people have begun doing God's work - is that enough? In part 4 of our series, we see how God wants to work in days of 'small things' to form a small but holy remnant of people - a people committed to him in every area of their lives - to lead into days of greater things ahead. 

Haggai 2.1-9. Discouraged and struggling to follow God as you'd like? Think your best days in God are behind you? This is where the people of God are at, but in this third part of our Haggai series we see God drawing near to to encourage them, to tell them he's with them, and that he's leading them to a future glory even greater than what they've seen before.

Haggai 1.12-15. We all struggle with obedience, but what if allowing God to say how we should live is actually for our best? As the returning remnant are awoken by God's voice into obedience to building his temple, we see how obedience is always God's way of leading us to more of him in our lives. 

Haggai 1.1-11. Is your life delivering as it should? If not, you might be building the wrong house. In our new teaching series in Haggai, we hear God's wake-up call for his people - building our own houses always leads to experiencing less than we hope for, but coming to God's house gives us all we ever wanted. God's call for us is to be a people of the presence of God - people who centre our live...

John 21.1-14. What do we do when we aren't sure what to do next? After Jesus' resurrection, Peter & the disciples had very little clarity on what to do with themselves . In John 21, Nat shows us how they respond, and how Jesus calls them to a life of being with him, and sharing their every day with him.

Matthew 28.1-10. On Easter Sunday we celebrate that Jesus is risen! The day begins with an earthquake, an angel and an empty tomb. For the two Marys visiting the tomb, this was shocking and terrifying, but Rhian draws us into story and shows us how this is the greatest news the world has ever heard.

Colossians 2.13-15. At the cross, the greatest defeat becomes a supreme victory. In the last message in the series, we see how the defeat of the cross is actually a moment in which Jesus is lifted up and enthroned as a triumphant King. 

Romans 3.21-26. The cross is a place of judgement. We don't like to think of God as a judge, let alone our judge, but in part 4 of our series we hear how God definitively condemning evil at the cross is really good news for us, as righteousness can begin to reign.

1 Peter 2.21-25. At the cross, Jesus stood in our place to take our sin away. We loved welcoming Tim Suffield as our guest speaker as we continued our series exploring The Crucifixion. The cross is the place where a great exchange took place as Jesus became our substitute - he died the death that we should die so that we get to stand in his place forever more, as sons & daughters in the Kingdom of...
