Now & Then

Speaker: Rich Tutt

Date: 27/05/2012

Bible: Matthew 22v15-33

Have you ever been caught out by a tricky question about your faith, to which you have no answer? Jesus finds himself on the sharp end of such questions but reflects them back, putting his questioners under the spotlight. But other than winning an argument back then, how do his answers help us to live well today and in the future??

The Insulted King

Speaker: Rich Tutt

Bible: Matthew 22v1-14

Have you ever felt upset by friends or family neglecting a special occasion? Forgetting an anniversary or not turning up to a party can send the message that 'You are not important to me.' Jesus throws that idea back at us, giving a valuable if uncomfortable insight into how we treat God.

The Extreme U-Turn

Speaker: Jack Griffiths

Date: 13/05/2012

Bible:

Why do people who follow Jesus get up in front of a large group of people, get soaking wet in a bath and go home? It seems weird. Why did Jesus ask us to do this? Well it one section of a three part response to Jesus and that's what we're exploring today!

Religious Resistance

Speaker: Rich Tutt

Date: 6/05/2012

Bible: Matthew 21v23-45

Jesus often clashed with the religious types of his day - the very people who should have been most ready to accept him. It can be still true of us today: we can have all sorts of ways of resisting God, whilst still thinking we're doing what he wants. Which ones do you recognise?

Pit-Bull Faith

Speaker: Rich Tutt

Date: 29/04/2012

Bible: Exodus 17v1-7

How can you get a drink of water in the middle of a desert? How can we build a large, strong, growing church in a little town in Sussex? In both cases we need to remember who brought us here and where he's taking us.

Unrestricted Access

Speaker: Rich Tutt

Date: 22/04/2012

Bible: Matthew 21v12-22

When Jesus triumphantly arrives in Jerusalem, hailed as a king, everyone expected him to act like a king. Instead he acts like a vandal, starting a one man riot in the temple & killing a tree. What's going on? And what does it have to do with us today?

Captivate: He's Better

Bible: Mark 8v27-38

Be a Donkey!

Speaker: Jack Griffiths

Date: 15/04/2012

Bible: Matthew 21v1-11

Here is a weird passage involving cloaks, leaves and donkeys. What is going on in this weird passage? Here we will look at the imagery showing us Jesus as king, how that relates to us and how we should respond like a donkey.

Easter: Fact or Fiction?

Speaker: Rich Tutt

Date: 8/04/2012

Bible: Luke 24v11

Many people know the Easter story but think it is simply just that: a made-up story. When we investigate it however, it turns out there is evidence for a different conclusion. What do you think?

How to be Great

Speaker: Rich Tutt

Date: 1/04/2012

Bible: Matthew 20v17-28

No one wants to be a loser, but when we come to Jesus aren't we supposed to be all humble, meek and mild? In a short conversation with a pair of loudmouths Jesus turns our expectations upside down and challenges us to achieve true greatness.
