Revelation 1:9 to 20 – A Vision of Jesus

Graham — Sun, 13 May 2012 17:30:16 +0000

What do we need to help us in the struggles of life with the pressure to give up on living as Christians?

We need a vision of Jesus. Not to imagine what he’s like but listen to the revelation we have been given.

In particular we need to see Jesus as he is now – gloriously God and king but at the same time willing to speak to us and to commission us to do work for him in spreading his word.

Christ’s Church is a place to belong

Graham — Sun, 13 May 2012 09:30:52 +0000

The first people who heard the gospel preached by Peter immediately became part of a new family – the church. Being together to eat together pray together, praise together and learn together was important and natural for them. They stuck with their new Christian family. The challenge for us is whether we will make such a priority of church family life and recognise our interdependence with other believers.

Joshua Chapter 2 – Rahab, a prostitute becomes a princess

Graham — Sun, 06 May 2012 17:30:17 +0000

In the book of Joshua the story of the conquest of Jericho is interrupted by the story of Rahab. She hides the spies because she believes the LORD is the true God and the result of her faith and action is that she is saved when Jericho is destroyed. We learn from this that God is working to save, even in judgement, and that through God’s saving work we become part of the people of God.

Christ’s Church is a gospel church

Graham — Sun, 06 May 2012 09:30:24 +0000

The church is founded on the gospel and we want to be a gospel church. Peter in Acts 2 preaches the first gospel sermon declaring that they are witnesses to the fact that Jesus Christ is risen from the dead and is now declared to be God’s promised King. People from all over the world need to turn to God in repentance for their sin and trust in the God who will forgive them because of his son, the king, Jesus Christ.

10 Warning Signs of an inwardly obsessed church

Graham — Fri, 04 May 2012 11:34:33 +0000

It’s scary how many of these resonate. Not all, but enough to make you sit up and notice. Of course it’s easy to be critical of others or feel bad about ourselves, but I do think it’s a good article to help us see our sinfulness and look to the grace of God to help us escape the tyranny of being too inward looking

The church and older people: The challenge and the opportunity

Wendy — Wed, 02 May 2012 12:11:53 +0000

There are now more people aged over 65 in the UK than those under 16. With some exceptions, society tends to value the younger over the older and though the Bible teaches that older people are to be
viewed as of great value and bearing particular dignity, the church does not always reflect this. It is important that we think through the challenges and opportunities we face as a church to ensure we
reach out effectively to older people, care appropriately for them and use their wisdom.

John 21:15 to 25 – Set Free to Serve

Wendy — Wed, 02 May 2012 11:13:01 +0000

The risen Jesus is still leading and teaching his disciples. In a sensitive but powerful and public way he makes clear that Peter is still one of his disciples despite his terrible sin in denying he even knew Christ during the trial. He helps us all see that at the heart of discipleship and service is love for Christ, whatever the cost, and without comparing ourselves with other people.
