Talks

A last message before going on Sabbatical. Why it's not enough to just help people Find Jesus - we have to be devoted to Following him on the path of discipleship too. 

How do we hold the in out tension of loving one another, yet serving the city around us?

Is it right to put limits on the way we do worship in order to help others? If so, what does that look like?

Another thing tearing the Corinthian church apart was inconsiderate behaviour between believers. So is it right to change how we act depending on what others believe?

How do you pull things back together when the church gets torn apart by division?

Meeting together is a habit. You can gain it and you can lose it? So why are some people giving up on this? And does it matter.

It’s not the first time the world’s felt like it was ending. How did the early church cope with their crisis and what can it teach us?

Why is that the things that are the most important are often the most neglected? Time to put last things first.

What's the prayer that Jesus prays for the church? And why is it so important?

How did the early church prioritise serving the needs of the poor and social justice - and what did it cost them?

Paul gives a model for discipleship and mentoring that is key to this day. What does that look like, how do we engage with it in practice and why is it necessary?

The Spirit came to equip us to bring God's Kingdom to a broken world. So how does that work and what is Pentecost?

Pivot points change everything about our future. How do they work and what do they mean for us?

A disappointment and a failure. How did God turn a reject into one of the most widely read authors in history?

A powerful woman in a man’s world. What does Priscilla’s story tell us about the church’s radical empowering of women?

A sworn enemy. How did God use the most Jewish man around to totally transform the non-Jewish world?

A coward out of his depth. What was it that transformed Peter from chicken to champion?

A nice guy that was happy to finish last. How can you tell that someone is all in for God's Kingdom?

Jesus promised that his church would overcome the power of darkness and death in the world. So what does that look like and how do we go about changing our society?

Why is community and vulnerability at the heart of what it means to be church, and why is it so desperately needed in our society as a whole?
