The Spirit-Filled Life - "Peace" (10) Teaching by Dave Criddle. Outline: In a world that needs peace, the only hope for real peace comes in Jesus. He offers all people peace with God through his work on the cross (Ephesians 2:11-22). The Hebrew word for peace expresses completeness&name; a wholeness that was always intended for man to experience. It is knowing completeness in God that will allow us to experience both personal fulfilment and healthy relationships with others. We carry this message of peace to

The Church: No Plan B (19) Keith King teaching from Acts Ch. 5 v12-16 on "A Community of Miracles" Outline: The early Christian community was marked by the miraculous. When God's Son is lifted up, God does remarkable things to point people to His Son, Jesus. God calls us to be a people who demonstrate His power, not just people who can talk about Him.

The Spirit-Filled Life - "Joy" (09) Teaching by Malcolm Duncan. Outline:Many people would say that their aim is "to be happy"-but does this pursuit of happiness satisfy? Why is a Spirit-empowered life marked by joy rather than happiness? What's the difference? Has joy among believers been reduced to saying "I'm fine" with a fixed smile on your face? What does authentic joy look like? How will this fruit grow in our lives? How can we as individuals encourage joy in the body of Christ?

The Church: No Plan B (18) Malcolm Duncan and Jude Moulds teaching from Acts 5 v 1-11 on "A Community of Truth" Outline: The early church were faced with many pressures from outside their ranks - but they also faced real pressure internally.

The Spirit-Filled Life (08) - "Love" Teaching by Malcolm Duncan. Outline: The world is preoccupied with "love" - we sing about it, watch films about it, read books about it, and try to help you find it online. A Google search for love produces over 7 billion hits. But nothing in this world compares to the love God has shown us. As believers we need to understand this love, and then recognise our need for the Spirit's empowering to love others this way. As we look to Jesus, what does love look like? How

The Church: No Plan B (17) Malcolm Duncan teaching from Acts 4 v 32-37 on "Unity" Outline: The early followers of Christ were united in their faith, united in their suffering and united in their support for one another. Their unity is marked by their power and anointing. What would happen if we shared common cause? What does unity look like for us?

The Spirit-Filled Life (07) - Malcolm Duncan discusses Spiritual Gifts.

The Church: No Plan B (16) Dave Criddle teaching from Acts 4 v22-31 "Boldness in Prayer" Outline: Although Peter and John were released, the church continued to face pressure.

The Church: No Plan B (15) James Simmons teaching from Acts 4 v 19-20 on "Infectious Faith - What happens when you really believe" Outline: Peter and John just couldn't help themselves - they had to talk about Jesus because they had experienced Jesus's love and compassion.
