As Christians, what do we do with the fact that life doesn’t always feel fair? As we continue to look at the letter to the Galatians, we pause in Paul’s account of his own story to think about whether God was fair to the people that Paul mistreated before he met Jesus. Why should a person who behaved so terribly become a leader in the Church while …

As Paul writes to defend the good news about Jesus he must address the issue of trustworthiness. Why should the Galatians listen to him instead of to the false teachers who have come along more recently? As he begins to address this question Paul reminds us of what he was like before he met Jesus, back in the days when he was known as Saul. As we f…

The letter to the Galatians is one of God’s gifts to us in the way that it both promotes and protects the true Gospel – the good news that Jesus entrusted to His Apostles. As we unpack the first 10 verses we encounter a masterful summary of the gospel message; a passionate plea to the Galatians to not turn away from God by accepting a different gos…

Everyone has rules they live by. How are yours working for you? As we begin a series in the book of Galatians we look at the purpose and story of the letter to discover a Christian community grappling with what life as followers of Jesus should look like. The Bible paints a beautiful picture of what restored relationship with God and others looks a…

The book of Acts tells the story of how the first Christians lived on mission. Their lives had a purpose – to witness to Jesus as Saviour and Lord from Jerusalem to Judea, Samaria and the ends of the Earth. They followed the example of Jesus in trusting the Father’s plans and relying on the Spirit’s power. We explore what it means to trust the Fath…

On Pentecost Sunday we listen to the story of the birth of the Church in Acts 2. It’s an amazing story as we the Holy Spirit bringing new life to people just like Jesus spoke to Nicodemus about in John 3. We reflect on the New Testament’s assertion that the way that God started the Church is also the way He sustains the Church. We rely on the Spiri…

Psalm 40 is a wonderful song of thanksgiving as David reflects on what God has done to bring him out of a pit of despair. To get more insight into what David was feeling before his deliverance we tune into Psalms 38 & 39 which describe that in more detail. While our stories might be different, most of us know what it’s like to feel stuck, recognisi…

After celebrating a child dedication earlier in our service, we take a look at Psalm 78 which reflects on the spiritual journey of Israel from the generations since their exodus from Egypt. The psalm has much to teach us about how we can help each successive generation to know God and walk in His ways. It describes the blessings that are experience…

On Palm Sunday we retrace Jesus’ journey from Jericho to Jerusalem with Luke’s gospel as our guide. Luke is very careful to describe both the physical and spiritual journey Jesus took with His disciples and the crowds who flocked to Jerusalem on that day. The crowds were full of anticipation of what would happen when the Messiah rode into Jerusalem…
