Luke 15:1-32 The parable of the prodigal son famously emphasises that there’s no-one too lost or too far from God. But less well known is its shocking challenge to the religious and the respectable.

Revelation 13:1-18 What is God doing in the world? Why does it look such a mess? The weird and wonderful book of Revelation draws back the curtain to show us the heavenly, spiritual realities that will keep us going through the ups and downs of this present age.
Revelation 12:1-17 What is God doing in the world? Why does it look such a mess? The weird and wonderful book of Revelation draws back the curtain to show us the heavenly, spiritual realities that will keep us going through the ups and downs of this present age.
Matthew 17:1-13 The banner read: “I love Jesus because I’m Muslim.” Many people agree that Jesus was a great prophet – perhaps the greatest. But was he more than a prophet? The true story of his transfiguration on a mountain contains some of the most explicit teaching about Jesus’ identity and role.
2 Peter 1:16-21 ‘Fake news’ seems to be everywhere these days. How do we know what to believe? And especially, how can we believe in a book that was written so long ago in different languages by unknown people? Take a whistle-stop tour through the many reasons why we can and must trust the Bible.
Psalm 127 “Many people live as if heaven would be an unwelcome intrusion into their busy schedule.” Can you identify with that?! Listen in and find out what might drive our busyness, and how to discover the blessing of deep rest.
Genesis 11:1-9 It could be the story of 21st century Canary Wharf. People wanted to make a name for themselves, and build a tower that reaches the heavens. Listen in as we are reflecting on globalisation and its pitfalls in the light of one of the most ancient stories known to humanity – the Tower of Babel.
Ephesians 2:11-22 The world is full of conflict, whether religious or atheistic. But Jesus Christ promises a way to genuine peace – the security, wholeness and harmony of what is called ‘shalom.’ Be prepared to be provoked and inspired by the one they call the Prince of Peace.
Isaiah 49:8-13 We have many competing demands on our time. In his previous talk, Richard urged us to prioritise carefully and say ‘no’ to good things for the sake of the best. But what are the best ways to use our time? What must we prioritise? Listen in as Isaiah shows us how God would have us live.
Psalm 90 Time is one of the most valuable gifts we have – but it is also one of our biggest sources of stress. So often we feel we just don’t have enough time in the day or the week to get things done. And we are conscious that our time on the planet is all too short. What is the solution? Psalm 90 gives us the perspective of the everlasting God.
