Reflecting on the grace that is offered us and the indwelling of the Spirit of Christ we will discover that even under the extreme pressures we can see our own hearts transformed into the stuff of diamonds and forgive as our Father in heaven has forgiven us.
In this talk Taryn looks at how we were created to worship and how worship is the highest calling in our lives. She unpacks what it means to come with anticipation and expectation every time we gather to worship Jesus
Looking at this short passage in Exodus 13, Chuck explores the nature of the road that the Israelites took as they left Egypt. It feels like the wrong road, it winds through the desert, and it requires faith and obedience... but it leads to a moment of beautiful and powerful communion with God.
Exodus 13:17-22
James starts the year by looking at two sentences Jesus makes at the beginning of a new era
This passage from Ecclesiastes is so familiar, it is an admission to the bewildering nature of life and circumstances we find ourselves in throughout life that doesn't seem to make sense but points us towards the God who directs out destinies if we but trust him. At the fall of this New Year it prompts to seek a closer walk with Christ in Praying regularly reading regularly and applying always
Kirsty looks at the year ahead with an image of the blank pages of possibilities and asks God what is the first next step for me, for us, in partnering with God and each other, in persevering and in prayer.

Kirsty explores our heart attitudes and motivations and the importance of them in our relationships with God and one another.
Jonny continues our series on ‘The Cost’ by going through Matthew 5:21-30 and discussing what it means to bring our emotions and our desires before Jesus and to see our hearts renewed.
Exploring The Cost of following Jesus. Ben looks at what Jesus said we as Jesus-followers will come up against.
An affirmation that He’ll be with us, and an encouragement that Jesus cares about our attitude and the influence our attitude has.
We are free to make choices, but we are not free from the consequences of the choices we make. We are a product of the choices we make. Are we going to choose to follow Jesus?
In this message, Chuck and Taryn report back from their sabbatical and share the journey that the Lord has taken them on, which contains an invitation to the whole church.
In this message Chuck looks at how we might be as resilient and gracious as Paul in the way that we relate to one another, especially when those relationships become strained or difficult.
Paul finishes off his letter to the Corinthian Church with a call to embrace the grace of Jesus, linger in the love of God and function out of the friendship of the Holy Spirit.
Scott focuses in on the pivotal passage for this series where Paul provides a different perspective on Weakness, explaining it has to be acknowledged, that God's grace is sufficient in all things and that even in our weakest and toughest moments we have an opportunity to allow God's Glory to shine out in our lives.
As a Christian, how do we avoid the fool's trap of boasting while also sharing the good news of Jesus. Ali shares from 2 Corinthians 11 and Paul's response to the false teachers within the Corinthian church.
In this next section of Paul's letter he outlines a plan for integrity. A plan that helps us to do navigate the different challenges that life can bring and ultimately to help us walk in a way that honours God.
We get to the point in Paul’s letter where he puts in place a “beyond reproach” system to administer the financial gift to the Jerusalem Christians. It is an amazing model of integrity-in-action that we should implement in our own lives. As Paul says, not for our individual reputations but so that the wider world look into our lives and see something different; Gods love and the truth of the gospel. Today we explore how we can put great decision processes in our lives BEFORE the circumstances of life hit us, that way we are wisely guided in the moment to make good choices.
Scott looks at how knowing and being immersed in the truth of the gospel is pivotal in our walk with Jesus. How it helps us spot lies, counterfeits and anything that would look to sneak it's way into our lives that isn't from God.
Continuing in Paul's 2nd letter to the church in Corinth we encounter a particular situation where Paul addresses his concerns for the church and their maturity in Christ, they have made great promises but it now time to deliver on them and Paul, Titus and his other associates demonstrate the need for accountability to be a dynamic aspect of our lives if we wish to advance and complete the good works that God has prepared for us. Getting enthusiastic about God and his church, getting a team and getting on will see us do great things for God
God has given us 'weapons' to demolish the strongholds (ideas and beliefs that have a strong hold on minds and hearts) that prevent people from entering into a relationship with Him.
We looked at how Paul defended his ministry to the Corinthian church because he had a good understanding of what the harvest looked like. He encourages us to use God's Tools for the battle that we are in and to keep a Godly perspective.
This week Sarah looks at 2 Cor 8:16 – 9:5. In this section of Paul's letter to the Corinthians, through his own actions he sets up a really good framework for us on how to live a life of integrity through the plans that we make and the people we put in place to surround ourselves and our plans with.
This week Tammy looks at 2 Cor 7:2-16 and we explored the way in which God transforms our tough times into something wonderful.
Paul encourages the Corinthians to asses their connections into their prevailing culture. James helps us understand what and who is influencing us.
As we grow older, it can seem the wise thing to do is to close our heart off to those who have hurt us. Paul urges the Corinthian church, and us today, to live with an open heart. To live with an open heart we must: extinguish the power of offence; exercise encouragement; embrace endurance.
As Paul continues to build up the Corinthians, he does so by appealing to them to open up their hearts to him as he has so readily done towards them. This is an encouragement to us as well to perceiver in the Christian life by neither giving up, giving in to petty resentments and striving to live like Christ in having an open heart.
Libby Granges continues in our Weak But Strong series: In the thick of life what do we display when people look at our lives? Are we authentic, able to endure and open with our affections?
Life is not always comfortable. But God doesn’t call us to be comfortable but rather to embrace a godly comfort zone where we are comforted and in return comfort those around us.
Scott explores the idea of us being the Ambassadors sent into the world to bring the customs of the kingdom into every life we encounter. What is it exactly we are bringing? what resources do we have to do that job? and where are we called to be ambassadors?
Dave looks at 2 Corinthians 5:1-10 and how God gives us everything we need to live our best life here and now.
Jonny asks, what can we learn from Paul and the Corinthian church about how to maintain deep relationships and how to do conflict well?
In this next part of Pauls letter, whilst making a defence of his own life and conduct he models 4 distinct features that he sees in the person of Christ. Cultivating the features of authenticity, humility, fragility and eternity that Paul models will see a continuing transformation towards an ever-increasing reflection of Christ in us.
Dave Morrison continues in our Weak But Strong series: Through trouble and hardship we have a hope of a better future, we are being prepared for heaven.
James looks at how the Spirit brings about inner change. Character, Power and Eternity are now all within us.
Ali unpacks the question of, "how do we live confidently in our physical bodies?" and from this passage how we can be confident in what we know, what we receive, and in who we know. 2 Corinthians 5:1-10.
Kirsty explores the Greater Glory that new covenant through Jesus brings. With it comes liberation, revelation and transformation that we all have access to.
Libby Grange continues in our series Weak But Strong: Where the spirit of the Lord is there is Freedom. If someone was to do a tour of our lives what would they see and who would we point to?
In this passage, Paul talks about us being letters to the world. Letters personally written by a saviour intended to be delivered into the hands of the world around us. Scott asks the question, who is this that sends us? who is the author who has written on our hearts and sends us to the world? and secondly what is the content of the letter the world reads in us?
We looked at what it looks like to allow Jesus to write a letter of grace, freedom and transformation on our hearts and in our lives.
Chuck looks at how we can behave as good stewards of the church family that God has entrusted to us.
Ali Elder takes us through 2 Corinthians 2:12-3:6 in our new series Weak But Strong.
Paul challenges the Corinthian Church in this passage to deal well with relationships and poses three questions for us: Are we an open door? How do we smell? How do we read?
Emma takes us through 2 Corinthians, in our new series Weak But Strong. God wants us to understand a wider view of comfort.
Scott explores what it looks like to walk in the will of God, following Paul's journey of tenacious pursuit of the Father.
Archie takes us through our study of 2 Corinthians, we are immediately struck by Paul's opening words that encourage us to remember that we are all called to fulfil the will of God in our lives, that we are part of something greater than ourselves and that in everything it must come from the wellspring of God's grace.
James Introduces our new series in 2 Corinthians Weak but Strong. We are encouraged to view the letter through Paul's opening statements and his prayer of Grace and Peace.
Scott looks at how our expectations of Jesus, the church and our world are completely transformed by Jesus resurrection.

James Duce takes us through Mark's cliff-hanger ending, and asks the question, Who do you think Jesus is?
It's Easter Sunday and in our final passage from Mark's Gospel, Chuck looks at how Jesus' resurrection is really just the beginning - that we're supposed to look at his resurrection as the model for our own.
James Duce asks, "Do we have a place to go when the pressures on. A place to be real, a place to process and a place to wake up spiritually".
Jonny talks about Mark:14:43-65 as we walk through the betrayal, arrest and trial of Jesus and ask ourselves the question 'how do we live for the kingdom amidst chaos?'
Julie Forbes takes us through Ephesians 6:10-20.In Paul's letter to the church, he reminds us that we are in a spiritual battle and that God gives us armour and weapons with which we can stand firm in the fight.
Ali Elder takes us through Mark 14:32-42."We all face moments in our lives where we are under pressure. In the Garden of Gethsemane, Jesus shows us how to deal with pressure, by turning to prayer and showing us that prayer is greater than pressure".
Today Mark Forbes takes us through Mark 14:43-65Reacting quickly is a great skill when playing games but when it comes to relationships we want to do the exact opposite. Respond. In this passage from Mark’s gospel we see Jesus’ modelling how to respond well even in the midst of terrible circumstances. How can we learn from His model of a lifestyle of devotion and communion with God, and take that into our everyday? If this is the life that Jesus led, and we’ve said yes to Him being our leader, then we can live a life of response, not reaction, because He promises to give us everything we need to live a godly life by His Spirit.
We are now back in Mark's Gospel and walking with Jesus towards the Cross. Chuck finds, in the story of the last supper, that Jesus is enacting a parable that teaches us what kind of king he really is.
Archie continues in our series, Who Am I?"As we draw our study of Ephesians to a close, Paul ends his letter encouraging us to be clothed in the Armour of God.Ending with this powerful illustration, we are reminded of why its so important that we hold tight to our identify in Christ, to be in Christ is to be in the armour of God and from that position we will indeed stand in the fight".
Julie continues in our series 'Who Am I'?Paul urges us to live a life worthy of God's call. What does that look like?
This week Tammy explores what Ephesians says about our identity versus the this is me culture our society is telling us.
In this message, Chuck looks at the Apostle Paul's teaching on marriage, which has some surprising twists and turns.
Kirsty looks at unity in the church with a focus on all that we do have in common. A common calling, common characteristics, common ground and a common good. Can we walk in step with God and one another?
The goal of the Christian life is to grow more and more like Jesus, but sometimes we get stuck in our growth. Ali takes us through Ephesians 4 and highlights what it means to go from "immature" to "In Him Mature", individuals who are honouring, united and equipped with spiritual gifts.
Continuing with our Who am I series in the book of Ephesians. James looks at making those changes we all want in our thinking, speaking, and living, or put another way, our heads, hearts and habits.
Continuing our series looking at the book of Ephesians, Chuck encourages us that it it possible to live under the authority of a 2000 year old book in an age where commonly held views on truth, morality and wisdom seem to change all the time.
Scott looks at Paul's prayer for the Ephesians and unpacks Paul's advice to make space for Jesus in our hearts, be rooted and established in his love and become agents for change in our world.
Continuing in our Who Am I? series in Ephesians, Mark looks at Paul’s freedom and confidence to not allow his past or any other factor stop him from carrying out his God-given purpose in life to communicate God’s grace to the Gentiles. What would our marriages, our parenting and families look like if we could unwrap the gift of grace like Paul had done? How would our communities, workplaces or streets change if we had the boldness that comes from being gifted with grace to empower us to be communicators of grace?
Andy Robertson takes us through Ephesians 3:1-13. Through this passage we learn to be committed to being wholehearted servants of Jesus regardless of our circumstances; to be committed to leaning in and hearing His revelations; to be committed to taking up the calling on our lives and to be committed to His cause and His church.
Peace is possible! Jesus is in the business of demolishing hostility. Continuing the series, James takes us through Ephesians 2.11-22. Paul encourages the church to remember: What life was like without Peace, That Jesus is our Peace and he is building a People of Peace.
“In this passage Paul continues his great prayer for the church. In his prayer Paul modest 3 things that we all need; an attitude of complete submission to God, an appeal for growing in love towards Christ and reaching our lives goal and purpose to glorify and Worship God.”
Kirsty looks a this amazing prayer that Paul prays for the Ephesians and explores how we can hope to gain the same strength, love, knowledge and fullness that he talks of.
Jonny takes a look at what it means to be included, called to peace and part of God's family.
This week, we look at Ephesians 2:12-22 with Tammy Docherty, and see that we are brought near to God, to each other & the church too.
Paul prays for the church, to know, hope, the richness of being in Christ and to know the power of his resurrection, so we can walk in the fullness of life in Christ , now and forever..
Continuing our study of Paul's letter to the Ephesians we discover that Paul's testimony and appointment is part of the unfolding mystery of God, seeing Non-Jews and Jews joined together in one body called the church. We like Paul are prisoners to Christ, with a call on our lives that will enable us to overcome our most personal of prejudices to see the mystery of God's church be the spectacle it was always intended to be!.
James unpicks Paul's great prayer for the church. He prays that they would first know Jesus, Know hope and to also know his power in the lives. Lets allow this prayer to echo through time for us too.
Paul paints a picture of what our identity is in Christ individually and what that means for our lives. We are products of his grace; We are his Masterpiece; We are commissioned to do good works.
Paul shows us how part of our identity is to be a distinct people from those around us. We are made with a purpose and filled with the spirit
Don focuses in on Ephesians 2:19-22 and considers how in Jesus our identity is now as citizens and members of God’s household.
Andy looks at like the Ephesian Christians we have every spiritual blessing from God, including the Holy spirit residing within us. But do we appreciate the value of what is in our possession and everything that God has made available? By knowing God more we find there is more...more hope...more riches...more power...
Jonny takes a look at what it means to be chosen by God, and the eternal life of love and fullness we are all invited into.
Continuing our series in Ephesians we move from the heights of praise and worship of Jesus in chapter 1 to the miserable condition of humanity at the beginning of chapter 2. Paul does this to emphasizes our need for grace and when we accept Christ we become alive by his grace and the richness of that life in contrast to what we had before. As we reflect on this grace we wont be able to help ourselves but be active agents in grace.
Knowing Him, Knowing Us. This week Tammy is looking at Ephesians 1:15-23 and what it means to ‘know'
Continuing our series in Ephesians we move from the heights of praise and worship of Jesus in chapter 1 to the miserable condition of humanity at the beginning of chapter 2. Paul does this to emphasizes our need for grace and when we accept Christ we become alive by his grace and the richness of that life in contrast to what we had before. As we reflect on this grace we wont be able to help ourselves but be active agents in grace.
Settings Abi talks about this extravagant prayer to know God better, to know His amazing hope and His power at work in us.
Jesus is questioned by the leaders on paying taxes. But Jesus sees through the insincerity and challenges the real issue at hand. Whose image are we bearing in life - Caesars or Gods?
As Jesus enters into Jerusalem on the last leg of his journey before the cross, he faces off against members of the Sanhedrin and delivers a unique parable intended just for them. Yet this is a parable the church today needs to take to heart, and avoid the temptation of seeking to dispense with the Son and replace him with self or something else. That will only lead to disaster. How will we respond when the Son comes around?
In the second in our series looking at identity from the book of Ephesians Chuck notices that, whilst Paul's life is far from easy, he is able to identify himself as someone who has been hugely blessed.
Foundations are key to life so starting on the right foundations can set us up well. Ali looks at Mark 12 and shows us 3 foundations for our lives: Remembering the Vineyard belongs to God; Relationship is Key to the Harvest; Build around the Cornerstone.
Kicking off our new series in the book of Ephesians, Chuck draws out 5 lessons that the Apostle Paul teaches us about who we really are. Ephesians 1:1-2
Continuing our series in Mark's Gospel, Chuck looks at the relatively well-known moment where Jesus turns over the tables in the temple, that is book-ended by the rather less familiar one where he pronounces judgement on a fig tree.
James looks at Mark 11 the Triumphal entry is a new way. Focusing on God seeking to loosen and untie our positions, resources, transport and homes for his use.
Whilst on the road Jesus overhears the disciples arguing over who’s the greatest. Hannah looks at the journey of the disciples as they grow in an increasing revelation of the truth of the Kingdom of God. That Kingdom greatness comes from being teachable and through becoming the 'servant of all’.
This week Tammy opens Mark 10:35-45 and looks at our perceived popularity, present examples of power and the perfect precedent Jesus sets for us to follow.
Scott explores how we build a faith in Jesus that causes us to pursue him with everything we have!
We are journeying through the Gospel of Mark and this week we find Jesus confronted with a tax question. We find Jesus turning their trick tax-question into highlighting our need to “give to God what is God’s”, as we are created and ‘minted’ in His image so our lives belong to Him. We see our King and His cross as the “for-ever bridge” to that gulf, the wedge between us and our creator. Our response is to this love and grace is to repent, to worship and to repeat as much as necessary!!!
When the disciples are asking for position, Jesus takes the opportunity to teach on greatness in his kingdom.
If Jesus was to enter into our town, city, nation this weekend, what would the reaction of people be? Joy? Anger? Indifference? Ali takes us through Mark 11:1-11 and challenges us that to show people who Jesus really is, we need to see him as a King of Humility and Purity and that our response should be serving and worshipping him.
Ben looks at aspects of God’s character and how Our Redeemer calls us to be workers in His vineyard from Mark 12:1-12.
In Mark 9:42-50, Jesus' seemingly harsh words are actually a message of love to us. His heart is to rescue everyone from death, remake us into new creations and invite us into full life remaining in him.
In this week’s passage we see Jesus and the disciples journeying closer to Jerusalem. Don unpacks what Jesus is showing his disciples about the way of His Kingdom here on earth.
Just as it says in 1 Corinthians that "God chose the foolish and weak things of this world to shame the wise and strong." So scripture shines the spotlight on a most unlikely character in the world's eyes, a blind beggar sat by the roadside. A beggar, whose determination for an encounter with Jesus will challenge us towards a more honest, humble, hungry and wholehearted commitment towards becoming and being a follower of Jesus.
To walk with Jesus as a disciple is to be called out on a radical journey; We leave the old behind and we head towards something new. But as with every journey there's going to be some radical change, and radical growth along the way.
Jesus calls us to lead a Radical Lifestyle and show a Radical Love for others. But in order to do that we need to take a long hard look at ourselves and examine the influences on our lives and cut out the things (sin) that entangle us and harm us. This requires a Radical Discipleship together with a Radical Sacrifice so we can ultimately be a Radical Witness for God.
What can we learn from the disciples as we journey through Mark? Through ups and downs, doubts and questions, Jesus sticks with them and if sticks with them, he sticks with us. And what does Jesus want our church to look like? One that welcomes the least in society with open arms and if we do welcome the least, we also welcome in God and His Kingdom.
Jesus often asks direct questions to those he encounters and he asks the same of us. Following the story of Blind Bartimaeus, Jesus asks three questions in this passage for us today: What have you lost? What is holding you back? What do you want?
This week Tammy unpacks Mark 9:14-28 and looks at the reactions of three people to see what there missing link was.
Scott looks at Jesus' definition of greatness and explores how we can become great in his eyes.
Life can sometimes feel like a bike ride, sometimes you are changing through the gears and others it feels like the stabilisers are jammed on. Ali takes us through Mark 9:14-29 and shows us to live a life of faith, the stabilisers have to come off, the wheels are pumped and the pedals are turning.
Tammy looks at the pivotal conversation Jesus has with the disciples and the crowd, where he speaks the truth that they weren't expecting.
This morning we are looking at doubt and unbelief towards healing and asking ourselves: do you know the one you believe in? Will you put your trust in him? And do you dare to believe he can use you?
Scott looks at how we can have doubt and worry because we have faith in a Saviour who is perfect.
A look at what the Transfiguration of Jesus means for the disciples, for Jesus and for us.
Scott looks at how Jesus modelled time with the Father and ministering in public through the Transfiguration.
We look at what it looks like to spend time with Jesus and time with people. Then we look at how we can deal with dissatisfaction and disillusionment and how we can turn that into satisfaction with Jesus. Finally we look at the importance of honesty before Jesus about our levels of faith and how it is important to be hungry for more.
We continue with The King & His Cross series on Father’s Day! We live in a world where the popular culture is increasingly more ‘self’ focused and yet, as in Mark 10:35-45, Jesus tells us to be counter cultural, this is His Champion’s Heart… how do we live out life with the heart of a Champion?
James speaks about creating a culture of encouragement. Looking at Mount of Transfiguration and how the past and paternal words encourage Jesus.
When we look at these two verses in Mark parallel to one another it becomes clear that we see but we don't see clearly. We must recognise Jesus, stay in his presence and say who he is.
Ali takes us through Mark 8:31 - 9:1 and explores what are the costs and rewards of following Jesus. In our journey with God, what do we need to put down and what do we need to pick up.
Scott unpacks Jesus warning to the disciples about the cost he is about to pay and the implications that has for humanity and explores what the cost is for us to follow Jesus with everything we have.
Immediately following Peter's revelation that Jesus is the Messiah, Jesus is quick to ensure that we understand that Messiah means sacrifice, death but resurrection for him but that extends to his followers too. In this passage Jesus wants us to understand that following him has an inevitable cost towards following him, but don't shy away from it, Jesus is so worth it, just as he was raised to glory so will we.
James unpacks a promise Jesus makes to his disciples but it comes in the package of cost.
In this passage we are asked to deny ourselves to find life in Jesus. So what are the costs for us today and are we truly giving our all for Jesus?'
In Mark 6:45-56, Jesus sends his disciples out with the same call he gives to us, one of command, dependency on him and a revelation of who he is.
Jesus leads us to a clear picture of himself, and it is our responsibility to commit to the process with personal declarations.
James unpacks the story of two men receiving sight. One physical the other Spiritual. We all often need a fresh touch from Christ to see things clearly.
Ali takes us through Mark 8:22-30 and shows us if we want to see things how Jesus sees them, we need to not let our past skew our sight and our spiritual sight requires a continual touch from Jesus.
Hannah looks at Mark 8:31-9:1. Following Peter's revelation of who Jesus was, Hannah looks at how Jesus teaches what it means to ‘walk the walk’ of Christ and then compares this to Jesus’ invitation and what it means to ‘walk the walk’ as a disciple.
James unpacks Mark 7 (Jesus heals a man who is deaf and mute ) Hearing clearly results in speaking plainly - are we living Tongue tied lives? Jesus wants to open up our ears and release our speech. Mark 7:31-37
As we continue to follow Jesus ministry we learn that Jesus crosses every boundary to rescue everybody. That Jesus knows us so well and sees each of us before he sees an opportunity and we can have absolute confidence in Him because whatever he does he really does do it really well". Mark 7:31-37
Hannah looks at how Jesus walking on water was a revelation of his divinity, goodness and power and how the heart of God is to bring a revelation of his glory to us in order to take us to a deeper place of intimacy and to be able to represent him well to the world. Mark 6: 45 - 56
Going through Mark 6:45-56, Don considers what it means to say Jesus has authority in the ‘go’, in the ‘gap’ and in the ‘great’. Mark 6:45-56
As Jesus fed the 5,000 and calmed the storm his disciples asked, "Who is this man?" Today people are asking the same question as Tori shows us in this message. Mark 6:30-44.
Tom shines a light onto Jesus' walk on the water and shows how this moment revealed the hearts of his disciples. Mark 6:42-56
Scott looks at how Jesus uses the feeding of the 5000 to demonstrate a lasting partnership with humanity in the miraculous and that the provision is already in our hands. Mark 6:30-44.
A look at the truths of faith revealed in Mark 5:21-43. Faith is confidence in God that leads to movements of power in our lives, our communities and our world. Mark 5:21-43.
Libby looks at how partnering with Jesus connects us to his heart, his mission and his provision. Mark 6:30-44
As we look at Jairus and the lady who bled for 12 years, we learned how their actions can teach us something today. Let’s humble ourselves and take action!
Ali continues our series in Mark, exploring chapter 5 as we discover more of who Jesus is. Mark 5:1-20
We’re looking at Jesus showing his power over the demonic. This passage leaves us with lots of questions but what should we focus
Mark 5 highlights that Jesus is the only one who can heal, he goes after the one and as a result we have a story to share.
Often we allow our experiences to dictate our understanding of God rather than focusing on the truth. In Mark 6:45-56 we learn not to limit Jesus by our own understanding and to examine the bigger picture. Jesus will cross any barrier to meet with us, we just need to invite him into our boat. Mark 6:45-56.
The parables that Jesus uses in this incident are powerful lessons for who are prepared to listen well. Lesson that will inspire us towards a pursuit of God and his kingdom, our role in it and to dare to dream big.
As we continue in our series through the book of Mark, Hannah looks to unpack what Jesus has to offer the world through an account of two significant healing miracles - compassion, power to heal and an offer to live life to the full.
Mark 5:1-20 shows us Jesus seeking out those who everyone else counts as lost. He makes impossible things possible and sets us free.
James looks at Mark 5:21 Jairus's Story. This encourages us to jettison pride and to pursue Jesus's presence and power.
Scott looks at how Jesus presence in our storms changes the outcome and how he has the power to redeem our darkest moments.
We look at Jesus calming the storm and what it shows us about who he is, who we are and who holds the power.
"Following the calming of the storm, we are still struck by the questioning of the disciples, "Who is this man?", through this passage, we discover that whatever nature the storm takes, whether be external or internal, Jesus has come with the principal objective to save us and in doing so "to destroy all the works of the evil one" 1 John 3:8
When the storm hits we see the disciples jumping to conclusions about Jesus that are completely wrong. Dave looks at what truths about Jesus we can draw from this passage and how they can be an anchor for us in the storms of our lives.

In these two incidents, we see the compassion of Christ and His mission to to invite and include those who have been excluded by sin and sickness into the Kingdom of God. As the Church of Jesus, we have an ongoing mission to do the very same today.
Once again Jesus starts as he means to go on.

Scott looks at how we have been given the authority and power to pray and see heaven invade earth in a way that radically transforms lives.
As humans, we struggle to come under authority. Jesus here shows us that he has authority over 3 spheres of life: the intellectual, the physical and the spiritual and his authority is completely different to our preconceptions.
In this talk, Kirsty explores 3 things that Jesus got involved in straight away at the very beginning of his ministry and examines how it is that we have access to the same authority as Him and so are able to follow his example of ministry. Jesus showed us these 3 practises straight away; 1. a new teaching with authority 2. dealing with evil 3. healing people.

The Good News of the Kingdom really is good news and when we come in were are not only adopted into God's love and grace were adopted into the family business, rescuing the world.
Dave looks at Mark 1:21-34, where Jesus shows his followers how his authority is completely unlike anything they've ever experienced before.
Scott looks at the way Jesus called his disciples and how it gives us a framework for understanding how he calls us into action today.
The baptism of Jesus in Mark's Gospel marks the beginning of Jesus' determination to rescue the world. By choosing to be baptised, Jesus challenges us to reconsider where are we applying the faith we profess to our lives. He challenges us to ask if we are prepared to identify with the people we are called to save and when faced with doubt or question do we have the assurances of our wider Christian family and leaders.

In this passage we discover why in the words of Paul "For the what I received I passed on to you as of first importance." The substitutionary death and the resurrection of Jesus are so important to the reality of the Christian faith, and the impact of that event upon our past , our present and future.

Scott looks at Paul's advice in 1 Corinthians 9:19- 27 to not just run the race to take part but to run in such a way that wins people for Jesus.

Looking at 1 Corinthians 1:18- 2:5 we discover that God's wisdom is the opposite of the world's wisdom.
