What is the gospel? It may seem like a basic question that has very little top do with race. But that couldn't be further from the truth. For many people the gospel is a message about their personal renewal through justification by faith. That is the gospel. But what if it was more than this? What if your personal renewal was part of the renewal of all things? Whatever you believe about the gospel is so important. Because as is the seed of the gospel that you believe, so is the tree, and as is the tree so will be its fruit.

Does our approach to difficult topics like race matter? In this talk we explore the question how should we talk about race. So, often its not what we say but the way that we say it. And its hard to overstate the role of a mature approach to talking about race. Galatians 2 records a conversation between two leaders. And its teaches us that having the right attitude towards race is almost just as important as having the right content.

Ephesians 6 tells us that we have an enemy who's trying to get us out of tune with God's truth. So, it's a no coincidence that the belt of truth is the first bit of armor that we're told to equip. In this message we explore what exactly the belt of truth is and how to use it.

Ignorance is bliss. Or so they say. But every time you get into a fight ignorant about your enemy will will result in pain & loss. Ephesians 6.10-13 describes an enemy that could be behind much of your pain and loss. And it gives us counter measures for the enemies schemes.

The story about the boy who sacrificed his loaves and fishes for the feeding of the five thousand is powerful. We don't always know just how significant our perceived small sacrifices can go. But in the hands of the Saviour even things that appear small can make a big difference.

Discipleship is a Bible word used to describe what following Jesus looks like. In one sense we're all disciples. We are all following something or someone. But in this message we explore what it looks like to follow Jesus.
