In Acts 3, Peter and John heal a lame man. Chris looks at what we can learn from this passage about our priorities as a church.

Sam unpacks the famous chapter about Pentecost with trips back to the Old Testament thrown in for good measure.

The full title of this talk is the catchy "The explosive unstoppable sovereign power of God the Holy Spirit to reach the ends of the earth for the name of Jesus"!

Chris wraps up the first half of our Year With The Doctor series with a look at the 24th and final chapter of the book of Luke. In this talk Chris discusses how desperate Jesus' followers felt after his crucifixion and how that relates to us today.

Our guest speaker Daniel is associate director of St Barnabas' Theological Centre in Sheffield, with a PhD in Biblical Studies (specialising, coincidentally, in Acts!). He opens the second phase of our Year with the Doctor with an overview of the world in which the book of Acts was written, describing a society very similar to our own in a lot of ways...

Note: Daniel also delivered two further sessions providing an overview of the book of Acts and how some of its theology applies to the church today; these can be downloaded here :

Session 1

Session 2

Dave takes us through Luke 23, asking the question where are we in the account of Jesus' crucifixion.

David looks at how Jesus is in control, God is sovereign, and scripture is fulfilled in Luke 22.

Chris avoids the traditional interpretation of this passage as referring to the End of the World, and gives an alternative, based on the 1st Century Jewish context Jesus was speaking in.

In a special slot to open 2016, five 20/30-somethings preach for the first time on Luke chapter 20 where Jesus takes on the Pharisees and Sadducees. (The positively elderly Chris Frost wraps up!)

Gary discusses the first Christmas, and how we might choose to respond to that message in the 21st century

Chris focuses on the role of the Magi (wise men) in the Christmas story, and the significance of the gifts they brought to the King
