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.
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.
Luke 12:54-13:21 We all know hypocrisy is bad and Jesus gave plenty of warnings about it. But what causes hypocrisy and what are its symptoms? And who are the hypocrites? This passage shows that hypocrisy blinds and bind, and Jesus is one who liberates people from the bondage of hypocrisy
Acts 28:30-31 Many consider Christian beliefs to be not simply “out of touch” but even dangerous. It’s therefore a good thing that whatever impact Christianity has had on our culture historically is now receding. Listen in to find out what Jesus is doing in the world today and how we can be sure it’s neither outdated nor irrelevant.
Luke 12:35-48 Is making Jesus our master right? Is it worth it? How can we keep serving him when our hearts feel cold toward him? This passage shows us a Jesus who it’s not only right to serve, but who can be trusted as master. Jesus is the only master who always serves his people- now and into eternity. Whether you’ve been serving Jesus a long time, or weighing it up for yourself. This talk is for you.
Luke 9:18-27 Let’s be honest, following Jesus can be hard graft. Standing up as a follower of Jesus in your office is more likely to get you grief than praise and sometimes we’re tempted to ask the question ‘is it really worth it?’ Jesus is totally realistic about what it means to follow him and he doesn’t pull his punches when he says “deny yourself, take up your cross and follow me.” So is it really worth it? Whether you’re weighing up whether to follow Jesus at all or wondering about keeping going after years of doing it this talk is for you.
