Owen takes a practical look at what forgiveness looks like, and how we can impart forgiveness to those who we need to forgive. It might not be easy, it might not be fair, but it’s our call, it’s the Jesus way. We breathe in the love and forgiveness of Jesus, we must breathe out the ministry of reconciliation.

Matthew 6:9-13

It’s at the cross the journey to being forgiven and forgiving others begins. Mark shows us Jesus’ model of forgiveness and helps us understand how we travel the path to be able to forgive others.

Luke 11:1-4, Luke 23:32-24

This Sunday saw the start of our new series on The Lord’s Prayer. Stephen showed us how this ancient prayer, found in Matthew 6:9-13, gives us such clarity when we don’t know what else to pray. It shows us how best to pray from the one who prayed best.

Matthew 6:9-10

So often, the world tells us that ‘the heart wants what it wants’ and to be 'true to ourselves'. But the reality is our desires, what The New Testament calls ‘the flesh’, can lead us away from our every day pursuit of God. Unpacking James’ teaching on temptation, desire and sin, Jodie encourages us to try the holy habits of fasting and confession in order grow in holiness with Christ.

James 1:12-18

Living out the values of the Kingdom of God in ordinary circumstances and choosing love can be challenging. Laura encourages us to embrace the extraordinary reality of knowing Jesus in everyday life. Our transformation comes through a close relationship with Him.

2 Corinthians 3: 12-18 & Galatians 5: 19-23

Our holiness is not just a set of rules and regulations, but a deep relationship with Jesus Christ that can inspire goodness in us. Mark encourages us to live out this goodness through acts of love, hospitality, and service. We are saints in God's eyes and the Holy Spirit empowers us to do good.

1 Peter 2:9-12 | 1 Peter 4:8-11

Simon helps us to understand that goodness is the standard set by God. He encourages us to experience God's goodness, embrace holiness, and actively extend goodness to others, transforming chaos into beauty and bringing light into the world.

Ephesians 5:1-10

Tom explores the concept of holiness, emphasising that it is not about rigid rule-keeping, but rather about worship and embracing our true identity. Holiness enables us to engage with the world, becoming agents of positive change and transformation through our relationships, actions, and influence.

Luke 18 : 18- 29

Stephen challenges the misconception of separating from people to live a holy life. By encountering Jesus, being transformed, and living out our faith with wisdom and encouragement, we can make a lasting impact in the world and reflect His transformative power.

Luke 19:1-10

Holiness is a journey of transformation, facilitated by the Holy Spirit. Simon helps us see that we are called to cooperate with the Spirit's guidance, align our lives with God's purpose and imitate Jesus. Holiness is not achieved through self-effort alone but is a result of God's grace working in and through us.

Ezekiel 36:24-27 | Acts 1:1-8

‘God provides the fire but we provide the sacrifice.’ Being a Christian isn’t always easy. It’s a lifelong surrender to God, trusting in Him and continually pursuing His holy fire. Emily helps us to see that If we want to live holy lives we must make the choice to offer ourselves to Him daily, asking to be filled afresh with His holiness.

Acts 2:1-13

‘His instruction is His mercy and His commands are His kindness.’ Stephen explores how holiness is not being well behaved or morally right. It’s a deeply personal and highly relational call from God to be more like Him. God wants us to be set apart and ‘wholly’ His. What things in your life are distancing you from this call to holiness?

1 Peter 13:13-25

Jonah 4

Simon helps us explore Jonah 4 and unpacks God’s beautiful response to Jonah who seems to have missed the point. God cares for everyone, so much that He sent Jesus, can we get on board with that?

Jonah 4

2 Kings 22:4-11

Jonah 3

We are given a second chance because of Jesus. Simon helps us understand Jonah and Nineveh’s second chance and what that looks like for us today. Will you accept the offer of a second chance?

Jonah 3

After being swallowed by a big fish Jonah is in the depths of the ocean. Emily unpacks Jonah’s response to his situation, and how we see that in the midst of the deep he cries out and turns to God. We can know that the Lord always hears our cry.

Jonah 1:17 - 2:10

No matter who we are, how far we run or how deep we go, God is with us in the depths of our struggles. Looking at Jonah 2, Jodie encourages us to speak out, look up, hold on and think back.

Jonah 1:17 - Jonah 2:10

Never underestimate how one small act of obedience to God can contribute to His salvation purposes. 

Stephen shares how obedience might be the answer to somebody else’s prayer.

Jonah 1:1-17
