Lay hold of Jesus

In John chapter 1 we can see 8 different aspects of Jesus' life presented. As we lay hold of Him in these unbelievably diverse ways, some heavenly and some earthly, we are equipped for this time, because we are going to desperately need Him to minister, not only to us and to our church, but to our city, our nation, and our world.

Love your neighbour

In times of catastrophe and crisis, we often have incredible opportunities to love our neighbours. Through Jonah we can learn how to challenge our dangerous defaults and allow our faith to be of significant public use. Allowing the peace of God to flow through us as we love our neighbours in these challenging times.

8 word sermon

This Easter Sunday as we celebrate the breaking of the ultimate lockdown of death, we ask for courage to come into your hearts and homes at this time. And as Jonah emerged from his lockdown with an 8 word sermon that changed Nineveh we are trusting for our own 8 word sermons to change our lives, our loves, our cities and societies.

Jesus explaining History

Whether it's the world's history, your own history, or biblical history, it needs to be explained to us, if we are to understand it. In Luke 24 Jesus explains His story, and in so doing explains all of history, including yours, showing how we are the prized possession of the creator of this universe. Showing how we have been forgiven, how we have been cleansed and how we have been ransomed.
