Philippians 2:12-30 Often we know the right course of action- we know to be selfless, we know to be kind, but we’re still tempted to sell out and not hold fast to that course. Listen in as Paul calls the Philippians to keep going in selfless service and the mind-blowing motivation he gives them.
Ephesians 6:10-23 For many Christians spiritual warfare is about the sensational world of deliverance ministries and naming demons and driving them out of believers. But that is not the spiritual warfare we find in the New Testament letters. Instead it’s about putting on the armour God has provided for everyday Christian living. That is how we stand firm against the forces of evil.
Philippians 1:27-2:11 We all know we should look out for those around us, but when the pressure’s on, it’s all too easy for the world to just revolve around me. This talk looks at the selfless one at the heart of the universe and how he deals with selfish hearts and brings the inspiration to change.
2 Timothy 4:1-18 You’re lying in bed in a hospice. You’ve just been told you’ve only weeks left to live. What will your perspective be as you look back on your life and look ahead to death? Will you be able to say with the apostle Paul that you have fought the good fight and finished the race and are longing to meet the Lord?
Philippians 1:12-26 The motto of the wharf could be summed up in 4 short words- Make Gain. Avoid Loss. But what does it really mean to Gain? How do we define Loss? How can Paul, the Christian leader, believe that he’s gained, even when- facing imprisonment and death- it looks like he’s lost? Listen in as Jesus redefines our understanding of gain.
Joshua 1 An Ironman is a long-distance triathlon – 3.86km swim in open water, followed by 180km on a bike, and then a marathon to finish off. It’s not for the fainthearted. But it takes just as much strength and courage to be a Christian. God calls us to be strong and courageous – and tells us how to do it.
Philippians 1:1-11 There are so many things competing for our time – career, friends, family, smartphones and hobbies to name but a few. It’s easy to say ‘Don’t let the good be the enemy of the best’ but it’s much harder to do. Where should Jesus fit in our already hectic lives? Is ‘making partner’ with Christ even a good thing, let alone the best thing? Listen in as Paul persuades the Philippian Christians there is no better thing to do with our lives.
Revelation 12-13 Do you find the Christian life often feels like a battle? A battle to resist temptation and pursue godliness; a battle to keep going in faith and love and hope; a battle to read the Bible and pray and serve others in the church. It feels like a battle because it is a battle. We are at war. This passage gives us the perspective we need to endure.
John 10:22-30 Christianity has been around for millennia. In this country, there are churches everywhere, the basics are taught in schools, and Christmas has a high profile. Yet, despite all this, committed Christians seem few and far between, including in our workplaces. Surely, if Christianity is true, more would believe? To address this question, we’ll consider what Jesus has to say in John 10.
Luke 13:22-30 How many people will be saved in the end? It’s an interesting question, but Jesus replied to it not by giving a figure, but by telling each of us to make sure we ourselves are among those who are. We do that by making every effort to enter through the narrow door.
