The love and grace of Jesus meets the deepest need in anyone. We see this in the way that Jesus ministered to Nicodemus. Whenever we see people the way that He does we see that whatever they say, put on Facebook and Instagram, that there is a deep need for love and transformation. Jesus bypasses the surface and the façade and goes right to our centre - and their he gives us exactly what we need - unconditional love & grace

When the Israelites were brought out of the promised land they were taken into the wilderness. This was not to punish them but to protect them. Their faith was not strong enough to possess the land. God taught them to trust him and waited a generation until he led them into what he had for them. God will not set you up to fail. He will only lead you into greater blessing but we need to learn to trust his perfect timing.

"Come and see a man...." these words show us what it is like to encounter grace and walk away with hope. Andrew talks today about what it means to thrive. We should not be afraid to look at Jesus with all our stuff. He knows and he says we will always walk away with hope when we meet him. What are you ashamed of? What are you guilty about? What is there from your past which needs to be healed? Come and see a man..

How often do you think about what your life is really all about? Purpose matters. Whenever people discover purpose they begin to thrive. It is clear that we only find our true purpose in grace. This is what Jesus means when he talks about redemption - discovering who we really are and then how we can live from that truth. The gift of righteousness (being acceptable to God) sets us up to see the purpose that Jesus has for us. Andrew encourages us to look at how we can be redeemed and also how we can help others to find their place as well.

Fat, ugly, stupid, failure, weak...... so many people live under the power of labels that they have given themselves or have been put on by other people. The power of this is that we live from those and they shape our lives and our futures. Jesus loves people to encounter Him so that they are transformed forever - Andrew looks today at how one person encountered Jesus and grace changed their name, their future and the destiny of millions. He can do the same for you & yours today!

How often do you ask yourself what the point is? Christians spend much energy thinking about what God wants for them. But they start with themselves. Victory and spiritual fulfilment is always found in Jesus and His work - We are part of God's plan & purpose and not the other way round. There are 4 promises that God makes to all people that reveal His heart for every man, woman & child. In those you find your purpose. Grace says "I will..." Find out what he wants for you...

17 is the number of victory. We believe that this year is a year where you will see walls that have stood against you fall down. How though? Is this is just wishful thinking? There is a pattern of grace & rest in the story of Joshua and Jericho that will show you how how you too can see breakthrough and new freedom in this year. It will not be because you try harder but because you will see Jesus in all His perfection.

"The message of Christmas can become so familiar, so sanitised yet it is the message of God's love in action. The baby in the manger reveals the heart of God and in the true story of the Nativity we see the glory of God - Jesus  the source of peace in our troubled world. Be blessed as you listen to this talk and are reminded that God has nothing but good will toward you."

What have you settled for? Whenever God spoke to Abraham he promised him an inheritance that was so far beyond anything he could fathom. We know the story but there was a point though that he seemingly settled for less. We do that to. but why? Whey when we have such great promises from God do we not live in the fullness of them? Andrew looks at this story and encourages us that no matter where we are that God has not finished with us. Ever!
