How do we experience the presence of God? Grahame Fuller takes us through the whole Bible, where we see how God's presence has been experienced by his people, and is ultimately found in Jesus.
James 2 can be a confronting, and even confusing passage. It talks about how to be saved, and it seems to say something different to what we see in John, or Paul. Is salvation by faith, or do we also need to add good works? We see that James and Paul do not contradict each other, but rather they fight against different errors. The truth is we are saved by faith, not what we do. Yet real faith shows itself in what we do. A challenge to consider if our faith is real.
As the book of John concludes there is much to puzzle over. Jez Reynolds speaks on the disciples ordinary context as they wait, contrasted with the extraordinary salvation Jesus brings and the impact this should have on how we live as we wait.

In our second week in Jesus' amazing prayer, the night before he died, we see what he prays for his people. Andrew Hayes takes us through: who are his people? What does he pray for? And why? We hear Jesus' heart for his people to be one with each other and with him forever.

What would Jesus think of our church? What does he look for in a church? Revelation 2-3 give us letters from Jesus to seven of his churches, with powerful challenges and deep encouragement.
