1 Chronicles 29:1-18Do you long to do something with your life that will make a difference in the world? Do you ever day-dream about giving up your job and going off to do something more useful? But right here and now each of us can already make a big difference in the world, using the one thing we have in abundance that 90% of the world’s population don’t have. Do join us at the lunchtime talks this week to find out more.
Philippians 1:21 If your life were a bicycle wheel, what would be at the centre? What’s the hub? For some it’s money; football; family; career; happiness; success; a relationship; or simply me. The centre should be Christ. But what does such a life look like on the ground?

Luke 2:22-39 In 2013 the 77-year-long wait for a British Wimbledon men’s champion came to an end, and joy and relief swept the country. Now that Jesus has come, the centuries-long wait for the Saviour is over. It’s party-time for our world!
Luke 1:26-38 After the horrific shootings in San Bernadino, California, a newspaper headline said, ‘God is not fixing this’. It’s hard to deny that the world is in a mess. But Christmas tells us God is at work to fix things – in the most remarkable way.
Luke 2:1-20 ‘He came down to earth from heaven, who is God and Lord of all’. So says the Christmas carol. But is it true? And if so, why did he bother? And how should we respond?
James 4:1-10 In sport it is of no ultimate significance whether you win or lose, but spiritually it is of eternal significance. How can we make sure we are victorious in the Christian life?
Philippians 4:1-23 Instability is about being wobbly, insecure, shaky, impermanent. By contrast stability – to be steadfast, anchored, secure, solid as a rock, enduring, established – is very attractive, whether the stability is financial, relational, emotional, or political. But spiritual stability is not just attractive but essential. How can we stand firm spiritually?
Ephesians 6:10-22 “Onward Christian Soldiers, marching as to war, with the cross of Jesus, going on before”. As Christians we are soldiers in a battle against spiritual forces of evil. But how do we fight and engage in spiritual warfare?
Philippians 3:12-21 “There must be more to life than living, there must be more than meets the eye, what good is life, if in the end we all must die, there must be more to life than this”. So sang Freddie Mercury. We may relate to the longing, but is there actually more or not? How can we know?
