Christmas the Prequel

Speaker: Ryan Goodsell

Bible: Luke 1v26-38

Church Centred Life

Speaker: Rich Tutt

Date: 7/12/2014

Bible: James 5v13-20

With some very specific advice, James reminds us that we just can't live a God centred life without a church family around us. Healthy Christianity just can't be done on our own, we're simply not designed that way. If we don't genuinely belong to a church we will always miss out God's best for us.

Being Totally Honest

Speaker: Rich Tutt

Date: 30/11/2014

Bible: James 5v12

Why is it so hard to tell the truth? Even when we know it's wrong to lie it so often seems such an easy and convenient solution. But is there really any problem with occasionally stretching the truth a bit? Or should we always be scrupulously truthful, even when it costs us?

Wait Patiently

Speaker: Al Pickering

Bible: James 5v7-11

What are you like at waiting? What about when you're waiting for things to life to improve and the tough times to end? What does God offer to help us and how should we live as we wait?

The Illusion of Autonomy

Speaker: Rich Tutt

Date: 16/11/2014

Bible: James 4v13-5v6

Western culture has achieved so much and has vastly improved the quality of life for millions of people. However along the way we have also forgotten the finite and limited nature of human beings. Despite everything we are far from the independent, unrestricted beings we like to think we are.

Spiritual Faithfulness

Speaker: Rich Tutt

Date: 9/11/2014

Bible: James 4v4-12

Everyone struggles to do the right thing at times, and we disappoint ourselves when we fail. But how does God feel about some of our less-than-good choices? And what hope is there of making better choices next time?

Loving the Peace

Speaker: Jeff Fletcher

Date: 2/11/2014

Bible: James 3v13-4v3

Why are relationships difficult? Can we really find lasting peace? James shows us how a God-centred life impacts our relationships together as we find that we can be loving the peace.

What You Say Matters

Speaker: Al Pickering

Date: 26/10/2014

Bible: James 3v1-12

"Sticks and stones may break my bones but words can never hurt me." Is there any truth in this old saying? Words can have much more of an effect than we imagine. What different does a God-centred life make to our mouth?

Genuine Faith is Visible

Speaker: Rich Tutt

Date: 19/10/2014

Bible: James 2v14-26

Why are there so many people who would claim to be a Christian, yet who don't seem to live like one? Can they still reassure themselves that they are accepted by God and will be with him when they die? And if so why should anyone bother with the inevitable difficulties that living as a Christian brings?

Give to what you value

Speaker: Rich Tutt

Date: 12/10/2014

Bible: Exodus 25v1-9

In lots of places the Bible tells believers to give financially to God, but how should we view this? Is it an unwelcome economic burden on us? Or is it a crafty way to make more money? Or is it about something altogether more profound, something much more important to true spirituality?
