Dave concludes the series Why We Meet with a look at the supernatural power of Jesus and the amazing power we’ve been given through Christ and the Holy Spirit.

Today Mark continues our series on Why We Meet by thinking about Learning Together.

As we think about our gatherings, today Dave talks about why we sing. What’s going on, what should be our expectation and how do we involve ourselves?

We’re thinking about the times when we meet – on Sunday mornings and in Core Groups.  Why do we do it, how should we approach these times and what should our expectation be? Today, in the All Together Service, we started at the basics – being together.

Today, four members of the congregation share personal stories about how they feel God has been at work in their lives.

Calling and Ministry – two very religious words. Today Dave talks about how these ideas are central to the lives of followers of Jesus, and rather than being for the super-spiritual they are for the very ordinary. We think about Jesus’ understanding that all his followers, at all times, are strategically placed by God to […]

Today we think about how God expresses his love to us through physical touch. Si talks about how, out of the countless ways God could work, he chooses to use touch to connect himself to us and us to each other.

Today we think about how God expresses his limitless love to us through an invitation to spend time with him. Ben talks about how we respond to this invitation and how our striving for acceptance actually undermines the intimate, loving relationship God wants

Today we think about how God expresses his limitless love to us through words of affirmation – we consider the ways God speaks to us and how we can receive and appropriate the wonderful things he says to us, using the Father’s Love Letter.

Today for our All Together Service we think about how God expresses his limitless love to us through acts of service – his constant work, freely given, to transform us into the person he created us to be.

Dave today thinks about how God expresses his love through gifts – specifically that God would give his son for us. We look at a confusing story in Genesis to understand how irrational and reckless it is for the all-powerful creator of the universe to give himself for the sake of us insignificant and weak […]

Everything starts with God’s love for us. From this we get our true identity and from our identity we perform our truest actions. However grasping that God loves us is easier said than done. Over these 6 weeks we’re going to try to get beyond the “Yeah, yeah, I know God loves me…” and start […]

Joe reflects on Jesus in Action in John 12:1-11

Alison reflects on Jesus in Action in John 2:13-22

Bekki reflects on Jesus in Action in John 2:1-12

We all know a good person is a helpful person and offering to help others is really important. But to have a healthy soul we also need to be asking for help. We need to understand we are people of limited capabilities and we are made to be dependant on each other in a loving […]

Rob looks at our lives as stories we tell and what we can do to ensure that we’re living out the stories we want.

Today Dave talks about what it means to live as sexual beings.

Dave talks about what sex is (beyond the biological) and how we (think we) know that

Today Dave talks about how it is our soul’s nature to need and how, when we go to the wrong places to try and fill those needs and desires, we get in all sorts of trouble. But the truth is "The soul’s infinite capacity to desire is the mirror image of God’s infinite capacity to give” (John Ortberg) and so, when we understand this properly, gives us a way to know God more deeply than ever before.
