Hours before his own death, with the weight of what he will face beginning to set in, Jesus nonetheless took time to reassure his confused, stumbling disciples that they should "not let their hearts be troubled". Here we consider three reassurances from Jesus when our hearts are troubled.

A well-loved quote from the Book of Psalms, "Joy Cometh with the Morning", is found here in the heart of Psalm 30. This psalm teaches us that we should not wait for our problems to be solved before we bring our praise to God.

This message was preached at our first Autumn Guest Service of 2023.We live in an increasingly hopeless world with doom-laden headlines. Yet human beings by nature need and thrive upon hope. Where can hope truly be found?

Psalm 126, one of the Songs of Ascent, reveals the secret of living a joyful life regardless of circumstances. This psalm shows us how to look back with joy, and look forward with joy.

Revival is marked by new life where at first there was death. It is what happens each and every time a sinner turns in repentance to God: God's Spirit breathes new life into a soul dead in sin. Sometimes this happens on a larger scale, with hundreds or even thousands of sinners saved in a short space of time. Jonah 3 shows us some of the marks of real revival, and in particular, the central role that God's preached Word plays in it.

Are you a repentant person? What does repentance really mean? Jonah's time in the seas - and in the fish - gave him an opportunity to practice true repentance. If we call ourselves Christians, repentance is something we need to practice regularly.

Jonah didn't like God's Word, and so he literally ran in the opposite direction of where he was supposed to go. Chapter 1 of this short book shows us the futility of trying to outrun God. He will always deal with our rebellion sooner or later.

Charles Spurgeon called prayer and praise "the twin lips of the soul". Psalm 28 is an example of how to balance these two aspects of our worship.
