Being prepared is essential to life. Whether exams or a job interview, or the wedding proposal, to not be prepared could prove disastrous. Are you prepared to meet Christ on the judgement day? Thankfully, Luke 3 tells us how to be prepared – through repentance.

We're not only called to worship God in the church, but in the world, in our everyday life as citizens. The gospel is to transform our lives in every way, including how we relate to our rulers. But what does it look like to live as faithful citizens of our land, loving our governing authorities, and all people around us? Join us as we consider Romans 13 and see what it means for our life as citizens, as we honour and submit to our governing authorities.

What difference should the gospel make in the Christian life? It is very easy to be a Christian only in name. We may do some Christian things, like attending church but our everyday life is not really any different to the world around us. In Romans 12, we see what difference the gospel ought to make to our everyday life.

Can a Christian fall away? Can someone who has expressed faith in Christ miss out on heaven? There are always temptations to turn away from Christ to sin and complacency is the first step to failure. But we're not on our own, because God is faithful and has provided a way of escape.

Are you living a spiritual life? Are you being led by the Spirit of God? If so, where is he leading you to? We often hear so much talk about being led by the Spirit. But what does it really mean?

How can we be right with a righteous God? The world everywhere around us – tells us if you want to be accepted, if you want to be praised. It happens by your own performance. But the doctrine of justification by faith alone teaches us that our own only hope of salvation depends on entrusting entirely on Jesus and his death on the cross to make us right with God.

What is the problem this world? Why is filled it filled with such evil and suffering? What is the solution? Lots of people think, the problem is out there: that human beings are basically good. But the bible has a deeper diagnosis and a better solution.

It was in studying the book of Romans, that Martin Luther made his “Great Discovery” rediscovering justification by faith to begin the reformation. It is through studying the book of Romans that many have others also came to a true and living faith in the gospel. Martin Luther recommended that all Christians should memorise the entire book by heart, so much did he value it. So what is this gospel that changed the world?

In our age, attempts to discredit Christianity are as strong as ever. The touchstone issue is the resurrection. How could one rationally believe that Jesus was raised from the dead?

Godly examples of Christian ministry are vital for churches and their leaders. Christian ministry is a dangerous calling. There are many threats to the Christian leader, from both inside and outside the church. Acts 20 is a jewel in the book of Acts. It’s a farewell speech at the end of a farewell journey, which summarises Paul’s ministry in Acts 13-20 and looks to the future. Paul meets with the Ephesian elders and lays out his ministry – its nature and priorities and perseverance. And he calls on them to remember it, and to emulate it.
