However ruined and devastated things may appear to be, God can rebuild, restore & renew. That goes for churches, individuals and for communities.

Right now we’re in the middle of a third Lockdown. So what encouragement would God bring us in this time of waiting?

God grants dignity and worth on those who are God’s children. This favour from God will mean stability, permanence and fruitfulness for his people.

Tim reminds us that we need others in our lives to help us become more like Jesus - sharing our lives with other believers helps to smooth our 'rough edges'.

Beauty, joy and praise instead of ashes, mourning and despair. We explore what this looks like in spiritual terms - and also in physical terms.

The Holy Spirit guides us and speaks to us, convicts us of sin, gives us peace and courage to walk in Jesus ways and become more like him.

Jesus is able to deliver what He was sent to proclaim because He is the good news. Entering into all the blessings in Isaiah 61 is the result of receiving Him.

If we are followers of Jesus then The Bible is our timeless manual, our guide to life, and Jesus asks us to know what's written inside it and be obedient to it.

We look at the way Jesus was anointed, and how that idea connects to the rest of Isaiah and the Old Testament. Then we look at how this text applies to us.

We enter 2021 in challenging times due to COVID-19, but are reminded how the church is the hope to restore all that is broken through the Good News.

Our leadership team spend some time looking back on 2020, and discuss what God might want to say to our church. What if he wrote us a letter?

The goal of salvation is not only forgiveness; it’s adoption, whereby God accepts us as his children and puts his own life in us.

The Christmas story is about one who left his heavenly home to come and dwell with us, sent to the cross so we could be brought home to the Father.

The way God has rescued us and the reason he can now announce "no condemnation" is through sending his Son to be born, live, die, rise and ascend.

The wonder of the Christmas story is that we were in such an awful situation - condemned, subject to God's wrath - yet God showed just how far he will go for us!

Being a witness is living a Spirit-saturated life in the world that demonstrates to all that we have encountered the risen Jesus and are submitting all to Him.

Jesus told his first followers: "Go and make disciples of all nations." It's a clear and concise statement calling them to make him known to others.

Disciples take personal responsibility, under their teacher’s instruction, for their own growth and for doing life together as a community of disciples.

The image of the church as a body is a theological fact. Though we are a diverse group of people, each playing our unique part, we are essentially a unity.

Our unity in practice comes out of the fact that we are already united in Christ - unity is a fact before it is a feeling. But what does unity look like?
