John 12:20-34 Everyone, even Rugby teams hope they’re on the road to glory in life, and yet often we feel we’ve missed the way. Listen in as we meet the only man to have always covered himself in glory.

James 3:13-4:10In sport we witness and experience the joy of victory and the sorrow of defeat. But in the end it’s only a game. The Christian life however is not a game. How can we make sure we are living victorious Christian lives rather than defeated ones? This passage tells us.
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.
