John 6:1-15, 25-40 Do you feel like you are constantly wanting or missing something? Jesus teaches us that true lasting satisfaction is found in him. He is the bread of life.
Hebrews 9:23-10:18 Asking around Canary Wharf, Jesus might be considered insignificant: a historical figure, a nice man, but offering little to help the mess in this world. Come to hear what Jesus’ followers learned: Jesus came to begin a new era of history, an era where people change, mess is finally put right, and that we can be a part of this.
John 4:4-30 Humanity is seeking all kinds of satisfaction in all kinds of places and people, but so many find the satisfaction they find doesn’t last and isn’t secure. Listen in as Jesus tells us about ultimate, lasting, cleansing satisfaction from and with him.
Hebrews 9:1-22 How do you deal with a guilty conscience? We saw that the new covenant provides the context for security. But what gives us confidence that the covenant is secure? When doubts linger and failures weigh on us, it’s easy to wonder whether that security could ever slip away. In this talk we look more closely at the foundation of the new covenant and why it offers real assurance for troubled consciences.
John 3:1-21 One of the best-known verses in the New Testament, John 3:16, begins with a ‘For’, connecting it to the previous verse: which is from the Old Testament! We can’t fully-understand, or fully-appreciate, the one without the other. John the gospel-writer introduces us to Nicodemus, a teacher of ‘the scriptures’ (what we now call the Old Testament) in order to tell us the good news of God’s love in sending Jesus, the Light of the World.
Hebrews 8:1-13 How do you deal with a guilty conscience? When it keeps you awake, or keeps God at arm’s length? We’re good at staying busy and moving on, but we need something better than denial or distraction. In this talk, we consider real help for troubled consciences.
John 1:43-51 How clear is your view of Jesus? As we start a new series looking at encounters with Jesus in John’s gospel, we will be challenged to ‘see’ him more clearly. Like Nathanael, are we prepared to have our vision of Jesus expanded? Are we willing to move ever closer to the light that shines in the darkness?
Hebrews 7:1-28 When challenges come our way, the promises that Jesus makes can seem unlikely to be true. God’s antidote: the reason why anyone can be certain of these promises, the best promises ever heard.
Jesus’ parables tell us about the values and shape of the Kingdom of God. For us, Luke 16:19-31, challenges us to examine how deeply Kingdom values inform our lives.
Hebrews 4:14-5:10 Whether we’re looking into faith or have been following Jesus for many years, we can be uncertain about how we could possibly keep following Jesus to the end. Hebrews tells us that we have one hope of making it to the end: Jesus. He has already made it and he will give us the help we ask for.
