Daniel 3:19-30If it hasn’t happened to us already then it’s very likely to be just a matter of time before we experience painful, seemingly pointless, tragedy. When this happens the question: “Where is God when life hurts?” becomes not just a philosophical question but a real and practical one. Listen in as we consider what anchors we need to put in place before the storm hits.
Revelation 20:11-15 All around us people are dying, every day. Half a million people in England and Wales die every year. What then? Is death the end? If not, what lies beyond the grave, and what do we need to do to get ready for it?

Jeremiah 25:3-16 In 2011 Pastor Rob Bell released a New York Times best-seller called “Love Wins”. In his book he calls into question the traditional Christian teaching about the existence of hell, and one of the objections he brings is that it’s unjust for people “to suffer in eternal agony because they didn’t believe in the Jesus they never heard of.” Listen in as we consider this highly emotive and crucial topic.
Judgement A recent Guardian editorial in the wake of the Jimmy Savile scandal said: ‘if there is one thing that makes the most benign agnostic wish that there were a God to punish sinners with eternal torment, it is the contemplation of history’s monsters.’ Listen in as we ask what Jesus wants us to believe about judgement and as we continue our series through the truths underpinning Two Ways to Live.
Judgement Jesus speaks about judgement openly and often. What does Jesus want us to believe about judgement? How does a God of Love fit with the existence of Hell? Listen in as we answer these questions and more.
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?
Isaiah 65 Hundreds of millions of people profess to worship God – but there is a huge spectrum of beliefs about what he is like and how to worship him. They can’t all be right. What is true worship? And why does it matter that we get it right?
Isaiah 65 What should I wear today? What should I eat for dinner? Should I look for a new job? Where should we move to? Life is full of choices. But the biggest, most momentous choice we each face is whether to be rebels against God or servants of God. It’s a choice with eternal consequences. God wants us to choose life.
