Rory continues our series in Matthew’s gospel, preaching from Matthew 26:31-46. In this passage we see Jesus predict the disciple’s denial of him, and his intense yet moving time of prayer in the garden of Gethsemene. As Rory unpacks the mental, emotional and spiritual trauma Jesus is going through on his way to the cross, we gaze at his motive for pressing on, his perfect obedience to the Father, and how deep the love of Christ is for his people.

In this look at Hebrews 9: 11-28, Tom gives us a challenge and a comfort. If death is a certainty, and if judgement is unavoidable, what can we do about it? There is one who faced both death and judgement and triumphed over both for our sake. You may die once, but in Him, you may live eternal.

No, we’re not masochists! While Christians don’t actively seek to be persecuted, it is an uncomfortable reality for Jesus’ followers and will continue to be until He comes again. However, even though Christ’s followers will face ridicule, mocking and even death for believing in Jesus, the Bible itself tells us so and shows us that even though the cost may be high, the treasure of knowing and belonging to the living God is far, far superior and the hope of heaven more than a balm for the persecuted believer. As we reflect on a visit from a missionary friend working with Christians in a very dangerous place to even be a Christian, Pete unpacks 10 reasons why persecution isn’t just an inconvenience - we need it.

This week in our Hebrews journey, Tom takes us through the wondrous truths of chapter 9: 1-14. The old system of atonement merely cleaned the outside, and so God's people needed a greater, grander sacrifice. Come and see how the blood of Christ not only cleanses us from sin, but also offers us true, everlasting joy.

As we continue our series in Matthew’s gospel, Rory preaches from Matthew 26:14-30. In this passage we see Jesus celebrating the Passover with his disciples, on the eve of one of them betraying him to death - we see Jesus’ sovereignty over the preparations, his awareness of what is about to happen, and we are challenged to examine our own hearts and ask the question: am I right with Jesus?

This new year's Mix brings us a crucial reminder of the character of God. Through the medium of a very helpful catechism, a musical interlude and two bottles of fizzy water, Pete shows us what it really means to know the king who serves, saves and loves His people.

In this Hebrews tangent centring on Exodus 25 - 27, Rory tours the Tabernacle of old. This not-so-simple tent is a bounty of symbolism, offering us a picture of the one who 'tabernacles' with us and makes His home among His people. We can all, finally, come home.

As we celebrate Christmas and reflect on the coming of the Lord Jesus, Tom preaches from Luke 2:1-21. In this passage we see Luke’s account of the birth of Jesus - with the journey to Bethlehem for the census, the angel appearing to Mary and the incredible good news proclaimed to her - and the world. As we delve into the details of this extraordinary time in world history, we see how what happened 2000 years ago should prompt one response: to come, behold, and adore.

In Hebrews 8 once more, Tom offers an eye-opening comparison between the old covenant and the new. The People of God in ancient times were often able to know about God, but so seldom capable of truly knowing God. If you really want to know Him, reach deeper than the surface level of your life. Let Him change your heart.
