Grace Under Pressure

Many people are finding life difficult at the moment, for all sorts of reasons. We look at a variety of different people from the Bible who, when under pressure, found the grace that God gave them enabled them to keep going. We explore how that same grace is available to us today, and how we can make good choices when we are under pressure ourselves.

Paul: Sufficient Grace

Speaker: Rich Tutt

Date:

Most of us know the experience of being worn down and worn out by something outside of our control. What difference can our faith in God make when we feel like we can't carry on?

Peter & James: Unfair?

Speaker: Rich Tutt

Date:

How do you react when other people seem to get all the breaks and you end up drawing the short straw? How can we handle it when it feels like God himself is not treating us fairly?

Hagar Part 2: Do I Matter?

Speaker: Rich Tutt

Date:

Most of us want to know that we matter to someone, that we are valued for who we are not for what we do.  But how do we cope when people treat us as if we don’t matter? Or even worse, when God seems not to care?

Hagar part 1: How can this be ok?

Speaker: Rich Tutt

Date:

Sometimes the Bible seems to describe really shocking events as if nothing is wrong: The heroes of faith behave in appalling ways, and God doesn’t seem to mind.  What’s going on and how does it affect how we think about the Bible itself?

David: Have a Talk with God

Speaker: Al Pickering

Date:

They say that a problem shared is a problem halved, but there’s someone we can talk to who gives us more than just a listening ear. Today we look at how David in the Bible received God’s grace under pressure when he talked things over with God.

Jesus: The Two Cups

Speaker: Jeff Fletcher

Date:

How does Jesus respond to his darkest hour and why is he experiencing such agony? We discover that his suffering is the foundation of this whole series as two very different cups are exchanged.

Naomi: From Bitterness to Blessing

Speaker: Al Pickering

Date:

Even if we’re Christians, we can find it hard when we face tragedies and difficulties in life. How should we respond and how can we get better at recognising the kindness and grace of God to us?

Elijah: The journey is too much for you

Speaker: Ryan Goodsell

Date:

There aren't enough hours in the day. There aren't enough hours at night either! Exhaustion affects us all. So how do we avoid being overwhelmed? How do we avoid the kind of despair that plagued Elijah?

Job: Why is this happening to me?

Speaker: Rich Tutt

Date:

‘Why do bad things happen to good people?’ we instinctively ask when we see people suffering, and when we are suffering ourselves we ask ‘Why is this happening to me?’  We are in good company, as the Bible asks exactly the same questions.

David: Strength in God

Speaker: Rich Tutt

Date:

Sometimes the pressures we face are just too much to bear and it feels like we can’t go on. What do we do when we have nothing left and can no longer cope?
