2 Peter 1:1-11Write down on a bit of paper your goal for your life. Imagine God writing on a bit of paper his goal for your life. Now put them together. How do they compare? What is God’s goal for us and how do we get there?

Various The Lord wants us to be on fire for him, zealous, all in. But how do we turn up the heat in a way that will last beyond next week? There are three things we need to grasp.
Luke 19:11-27Why bother going God’s way at all? And as Christians why bother serving Christ wholeheartedly? Why not do the bare minimum and leave the hard work to the keenies? The answer is all to do with what will happen when Christ returns.
Luke 17:20-37 A game changer is something so big, so impactful, that it changes the landscape. The return of Jesus is a game changer. It certainly will be when it happens, for all of us, but it should also be a game changer in our lives now once we grasp its significance.
Exodus 25-31, 35-40What is the point of life? Some say there is no point, no design, no purpose. Others say there’s just the meaning we give to life. Others still say there is an ultimate purpose. But where do we find it? In an unlikely place. In a tent in the desert in the Middle East in 1500BC.
Exodus 33-34A close encounter of the third kind is one thing, but what about a close encounter of the God kind? Moses certainly had some pretty impressive experiences, but what about us? What kind of experience of God should we seek and expect today?
John 1:14 Sigmund Freud famously claimed that belief in God is just a projection of our childhood need to have the love and protection of a father-figure. Does it matter if he was right? What evidence is there that he was wrong?
Exodus 24:1-18William Tyndale said that the gospel is good news that “makes a man’s heart glad and makes him sing, dance and leap for joy”. But what is so good about the good news? And how can we grasp that more? And how can we recover our joy in it if we’ve lost it?
John 1:14 Sigmund Freud famously claimed that belief in God is just a projection of our childhood need to have the love and protection of a father-figure. Does it matter if he was right? What evidence is there that he was wrong?
Exodus 20:22-23:33 ’What has happened to all your joy?’ The Galatian believers to whom Paul wrote those words had a wrong understanding of the Law. It had robbed them of their joy and ran the risk of robbing them of their salvation. What is the relationship of the Christian to the Law? It’s vital we get this right.
