Help for the tempted: Dealing with a troubled conscience (II)

Hebrews 9:23-10:18 Asking around Canary Wharf, Jesus might be considered insignificant: a historical figure, a nice man, but offering little to help the mess in this world. Come to hear what Jesus’ followers learned: Jesus came to begin a new era of history, an era where people change, mess is finally put right, and that we can be a part of this.

Help for the tempted: Dealing with a troubled conscience (I)

Hebrews 9:1-22 How do you deal with a guilty conscience? We saw that the new covenant provides the context for security. But what gives us confidence that the covenant is secure? When doubts linger and failures weigh on us, it’s easy to wonder whether that security could ever slip away. In this talk we look more closely at the foundation of the new covenant and why it offers real assurance for troubled consciences.

Encounters with Jesus from John’s Gospel: Come to the Light and be born again

John 3:1-21 One of the best-known verses in the New Testament, John 3:16, begins with a ‘For’, connecting it to the previous verse: which is from the Old Testament! We can’t fully-understand, or fully-appreciate, the one without the other. John the gospel-writer introduces us to Nicodemus, a teacher of ‘the scriptures’ (what we now call the Old Testament) in order to tell us the good news of God’s love in sending Jesus, the Light of the World.
