About how Jesus changes things in the great news of the gospel contained in a few simple verses from Galatians

Chris opens up the second half of 2 Corinthians 5 and looks at reconciliation as the main purpose for us.

Chris Edwards opens up the first part of Chapter 5 of 2 Corinthians looking towards our eternal home and new body.

Two Problems Answered

The True Glory of God

Trouble and Triumph

The last in our series in Galatians

‘It is for freedom that Christ has set us free!’ - Galatians 5.1 Freedom! Everyone wants it, but what is it? What does it mean to be truly free? Would you recognise a free person if you saw them? What would they be doing? What matters to them? How would they express that?

The joyful privilege and awesome responsibility that is ours because we are the children of God!

Clearly no one who relies on the law is justified before God, because ‘the righteous will live by faith.

'I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.’ Galatians 2.20 What a relief this is! All my mistakes, all my sin, he carries! Hallelujah! What a challenge this is! All my pride, all my sense of my own significance is dead and buried.

We follow up with week 2 in Galatians considering the true message of Jesus and that humans trying to modify the gospel is not the true gospel.

…let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus… Hebrews 12:1-2

we come to the end of Deuteronomy! And the end of Moses! The great leader, the great prophet, the great preacher that we’ve met over the last chapters won’t make it into the Promised Land. It seems like a somewhat depressing finale. So where does that leave us? Looking forward to talking about it! Next Sunday, we’re doing a special one-off week based on Hebrews 12, that will bridge us from Deutero...

It’s sometimes easy to get lost in all the laws about war, cities of refuge, tithing, disputes, skin diseases and so on in Deuteronomy chapters 12-26. But here’s a verse from the end of this section to put things in perspective: And the Lord has declared this day that you are his people, his treasured possession as he promised, and that you are to keep all his commands. (Deut 26:18) God gives his...

Thinking about God’s kindness and justice.

Oh! And we are looking at just the most wonderful set of commands from our God about generosity, in Deuteronomy 14.22 - 15.18. It is a call to shape the contours of our life as God’s people around the contours of our God’s heart - abounding generosity!

Deuteronomy 8 is going to help us see the simple power of remembering the LORD and the significant problem of forgetting. We’ll see the dangerous patterns of a heart that forgets. We’ll see the fruitful patterns of a heart that remembers. We’ll see what we need to remember and how to help each other remember.

want to share with you something that has been on my heart and in my prayers for some time for our church. As we continue to explore Deuteronomy together, I want us to pause to consider together the 4th commandment - the sabbath. I think it is a command filled with both opportunity and challenge for us. And I am convinced it is a word in season for us right now.

True life is about knowing God deeply! It’s such a simple truth, but one I found so helpful to be reminded of again as I think about what I value and prioritise in life. Looking forward to getting into life more deeply as we know God more deeply in Deuteronomy.

Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. Deuteronomy 6:4-5 These verses, called ‘the shema’ (Hebrew for ‘hear’, or ‘listen’) are at the heart of Deuteronomy. It’s a book that sounds the call again and again to listen carefully and to love God deeply and truly. This week, we’ll be looking at chap...

We begin our new series in the Book of Deuteronomy where we look at the theme of "Choose Life"

Seeing how the news about him continues to spread, despite, and even because of, opposition to it.

We’ll jump into Acts 2, and see the gift God has given us in sending us his Spirit - to speak to us about King Jesus! We’ll see how the spirit speaks to us and why.
