What is the test of faith for the Christian? Is it what we do, what we believe, how we act? There is a way to be a Christian of course, because there are expectation for those who profess this faith - and the first test is to understand the reality of the teaching received about God - Father, Son and Spirit and to realise that not all is of God. Pastor Mike Weaver delve further into 1John as he wr...

'What is Love anyway' sang Howard Jones in the 1980s, before going to ask 'does anybody love anybody anyway?' It's an eternal question and one so much has been written about, sung about, moves made about - yet in our wordl and sociaty love is often assocated with romance and feeling. Yet love in the Bible is so much more that romantic or family love. It is sacrificial. Listen t...

What is the dividing line between Christian's and the rest of the world? Jesus, simply Jesus Christ. Pastor Mike Weaver asked two of the most important questions that any person on earth can ever consider, and in the process finds in the words of the 1st Letter of John deep assurance of faith for the family of God. Not only that the motivation to 'keep on keeping on' in the faith and s...

Easter Sunday - the day the Lord Jesus rose from the dead. Not just spiritually but bodily resurrection! This is rthe day that changed world events forever and is at the heart of Christian faith. Without understanding of or belief in the bodily resurrection of Jesus there is no Christian faith. Beyond Christ's resurrection is the Kingdom come, the time in which we currently live and reside, bu...

This week, Pastor Mike Weave notes that Hosea, though seemingly a book filled with much condemnation and judgement, is actually a book portraying the deeply compassionate love fo God. God is not God without both his righteous love and righteous judgement, for the two go together and are the attributes of who God is. So the question for the listener is what will your response be to both the love of...

The verdict is in and Israel has been found guilty despite the warnings given to them by the prophet Hosea to repent of their spiritual idolatry and Baal worship. This week the sentence is read, they will be removed from the Promised Land, and God will no longer be their God. It is a lesson for all who choose to try and live the double life of holding the kingdom of God and his promises with one h...

This week, Youth Pastor, Lee Whitecross stand in for Pastor Mike who was taken ill with Covid (yes, it's still with us). Lee considered what we sow in life, and therefore what we reap. There is much that we do as individuals, as community, and nations and as the human race, and for all actions there are consequences. There are life consequences in the here and now, but so too are there eternal...

Pastor Mike journeys further into Hosea considering the consequences of unfaithfulness, of a lack of love, and worst of all no knowledge of God. The consequences for individuals, nations and yes, the church are destruction, demolition and ultimately devastation of the good intentions of God for His creation.

In life, there is much tragedy. Anyone who has lived will know this truism, that we cannot live life without disappointment and difficulty, but for the Christian, the question is can the tragedy of life result from God’s love? In this podcast, Pastor Mike Weaver looks at chapter 2 of Hosea, where it appears the wrath of God is upon the unfaithful wife and unfaithful Israel, but the rebuke is not o...

There is no greater book in the Bible that reveals the heart of God, than that of Hosea. The prophet begins by revealing to us how hurt and angry God is with his people. He is torn between wanting to punish them for their unfaithfulness and restoring them because of his great love for them. God shows his great love for his people, comparing himself to a husband whose wife has committed adultery, u...

What traditions do you and your family celebrate around the season of Advent and Christmas? And what becomes the focus of this season? Rev. Mike Weaver continues the Advent series challenging the worldview and societal norms of the west that Christmas isn’t about what the commercial world would have us believe. The turkey and tinsel so to speak are the peripheral stuff of Christmas. The focus shou...

With so much bad news going on in the world, there is a real temptation to escape. Have fun and celebrate all that Christmas has to offer at this time of year, some respite, at least for a while. But this deal also comes with a great deal of stress and financial burdens many can't afford, which follow them into the following year. That first Christmas, during equally troubled times, an angel b...

Food, Glorious Food is the song from the musical Oliver, and food indeed can be glorious, but it is much more than that... it is necessary for life. Food can just sustain life or it can in the right balance bring all the nutrients one need for a thriving life. How much more so our spiritual food? Where do you find food for your soul today? Pastor Mike considers the Word of God, in the person of Je...
