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.
Luke 16:1-15 In this sermon, Phil Williams explores Jesus’ challenging parable of the dishonest manager and asks what it means to live with urgency, faithfulness, and generosity when eternity is real. Speaking into the realities of money, stewardship, and discipleship, the sermon calls us to examine who or what we truly serve and to use what God has entrusted to us for eternal good.
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.
“Why did Jesus need to become a man?” It’s a classic theological question with a surprisingly practical answer. In Hebrews 2:5-3:6 we will see how Jesus being “one of us” changes everything.
Luke 12:13-34 All of us want to live well: to get to the end of our life and to know we didn’t waste it. Jesus tells a famous story about someone who seems to win at life, and yet when God appraises his life at the end, it turns out he had utterly failed in the only thing that really counts. Join us as we listen to Jesus’ teaching on How not to waste your life.
Why do we find it so hard to truly listen to the Bible? Sometimes it can feel dull, repetitive, and laborious – just another dry text to get through. The truth is, our attention usually depends on whether we grasp the sheer weight and authority of the person speaking. In Hebrews 1:1–2:4, we discover the voice behind the pages of scripture.
