There is real power behind words- words can bring life, and death. How we speak is an important theme in Proverbs.

God wants us to trust him with everything that we are - exclusively, exhaustively and entirely.

Proverbs says a lot about listening to instruction and reproof. We all find it hard, but with a humble heart and a listening ear, we will live. This practical message is all about listening to others and to God.

What is the role of wisdom in life? Our summer series will introduce us to a book of wisdom, and a portrait of a wise person.

The lesson is so simple and yet so important for all of us. The wise builder is the person who hears what Jesus says and does it. Simple as that. What is Jesus saying to you at the moment through your Bible reading, or through Bible messages at church? Just do it.

We care what Jesus thinks and says, even when it feels uncomfortable. The final letter in our series hits the nail on the head of so many issues in church- and it has an incredible invitation. {Revelation 3:14-22}

Here is a letter for every Christian who feels weak. In it we see Jesus who is kind, and will stick with us for eternity. [Revelation 3:7-13]

Having and building a reputation is a big issue, especially when it takes our focus away from Jesus. It's easy to focus on past glories and leave Jesus behind. Spiritual complacency is an issue that Jesus takes very seriously.

The issue of purity for a modern Christian is so important. Jesus says we can look to Him for change - the motivation doesn't have to be guilt. [Revelation 2:18-29]

We've all had the experience of accepting standards that are lower than what we want. Jesus has lots to say to us about compromise, even in places where it's hard to be a Christian. Revelation 2:12-17

What would Jesus write to a church facing persecution, poverty, slander and death? Here is His message of hope and help for them, and for us!

Jesus dictated seven letters to His old friend John, for the benefit of all churches- including us today! Our first letter was originally to Ephesus. How can we recapture our first love? Revelation 2:1-7

Jesus demonstrates what God is like, full of compassion and power. This speaks to us today and it's thrilling!

Forgiveness is so important for the health of any community - wounds are inevitable as we rub up against each other, and only with forgiveness can these wounds heal.

Why do Christians give? The Bible has lots to say about money and giving- but many of us can be confused about Christianity and what is a right response to Christ.

What does the 'wow' of being loved by Jesus look like? It means loving others like Jesus loves them. It can be hard, but what a difference Jesus makes! John 13:1-17

As a church our vision and values drive everything we do, especially because of God's glorious love. We want to be people who love others- just like Jesus. John 13:31-35

God is the God of Peace - for us, now, and every day!

What difference does the Resurrection make? According to one eye witness it changes everything - it means we can be born again to a living hope. Not only hope for the life to come, but also hope in this life, as well as an unexplainable love for Christ and an inexpressible joy within!

"Hosanna" is a strange word, but it is powerful! This Palm Sunday, will we be part of God's people that say to Jesus, "save me"?

The last chapter in our series is full of beasts and distress! But there is also hope. The hope starts with the word "until."

Mothering changes lives! There are many biblical qualities in mothers that we esteem highly, so how can we be a community with mother-like ministry? 1 Thessalonians 2

"Making noise" about Jesus is rarely easy - there is pressure to be silent. Is speaking publically about Jesus possible and even desirable? There is a great reason to not stay silent.

The problem in Daniel 5 is pride - it's a big issue for all of us. There is real danger in "lifting up ourselves against the LORD," but the solution is beautiful.

Testimonies are a huge favourite to many! Today's story of a life transformed is spectacular. It begins with pride...
