Society tells us that if we are not this, that, or the other then we’re not worth it. Sadly, even the church has at times played a part in us devaluing ourselves as individuals. However, Nick uses stories, the beginning of creation, and the incarnation as awesome reminders that God thinks we are worth it!

Jo explores the wonderful truths contained in one little preposition: 'In'. Again and again Scripture affirms that we are 'in' Christ and Christ is 'in' us; But what does this mean for our lives and how do we express it?

Nick celebrates 10 years of Arun Angels, who provide pastoral support and practical care on the night-time streets of our town. He explores how Paul's illustration of 'the armour of God' points us towards a way of 'good news' life and action that can make a remarkable difference to our world.

What is it to live a 'Holy' life, or to 'be Holy'? In the second part of this brief exploration, Jamie looks at the New Testament communities that were described as 'Saints' despite their failings. Beyond the Pharisee's narrow definition of moral perfection, Holiness is rather a call to distinctive, purposeful and focussed kingdom living.

This message kicks of a new irregular series which will explore some of the big 'God Words', key concepts and ideas of the Christian faith. Jamie starts by exploring 'Holy', a word that can seem to drive us away rather than draw us us in. Is Holiness just an impossible standard, a stick to beat us with? Or is it an invitation to experience the transformative power of God and participate in his ongoing creation. PLEASE NOTE: We apologise for the poor quality of this audio recording.

Stuart leads us through Paul's magnificent poem of praise that opens the letter to the church in Ephesus. Through this we see a glimpse of God's wonderful purposes in Christ, a cosmic plan of salvation in which we too are included!

Whilst our desire for ’stuff’ has been intensified over the past century through the rise of consumerism, the prioritising of material possessions was just as relevant in Jesus’ time when he preached his Sermon on the Mount. This week, Nick looks at four passages that call for us to prioritise our love for God and others over our love for ’treasures on earth’.

Relationships are at the heart of what it means to be human. In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus gives a master class to his disciples in the art of creating relationships rooted in non-judgement, humility, empathy and love. This is in sharp contrast with the way of the Pharisees, characterised as the 'broad way' of conventional religiosity. Jamie explores how Jesus' 'narrow way' instead rests on authenticity and a faithfulness in God's power to make the difference.

In Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount, having 'good character' is proclaimed as an essential element of being a disciple. In this week’s talk, Nick highlights how the qualities of humility, integrity and authenticity can help our outward expressions and our inward realities become more in line with one another and with God’s ways.
