The Bible’s vision for marriage in Ephesians 5 is both more demanding and more beautiful than we might think. It is demanding because it is built on self-denial and self-sacrifice, and beautiful because it is all about Christ’s sacrifice for his church.

Marriage is one of God’s greatest gifts, but it points to something far bigger than itself. In Ephesians 5, Paul shows us what healthy, flourishing, Christ-centred marriage actually looks like, and why it matters to every single one of us, married or not.

Having been called and received new identity in Christ, Christian believers are called to lives of wisdom and worship. This is far easier said than done but we are also given the power that leads to wisdom and worship in the person of the Holy Spirit.

Paul’s calls us to make the most of every opportunity, but what does this look like for believers and what does this mean practically? Exploring how to live wisely and how we discern Gods will for our lives.

God calls us to a life shaped by His love, leaving behind the old life, and stepping into the light. We are called to live differently—reflecting His love in how we walk, think, and shine in the world.

This preach is a reminder that, as believers, we should allow the love of God to be expressed in our lifestyle. It should be the motive and driving force behind all we do, as we have been shown the deepest love by Christ. “God is Love and Love is God”.

The crowd at the cross heard Jesus quote a psalm written a thousand years earlier that predicted his death in precise detail, and yet all they saw was a dying man crying for help. What do we do with evidence when our hearts aren’t ready to receive it?

On Easter Sunday, we’ve had the sadness of Friday, the silence of Saturday and now we can celebrate that Jesus is risen on Sunday. The resurrection is central to the gospel, but what difference does that make to our lives today?

Joe shares a message on Good Friday, where two cups show us the power of what Jesus accomplished on the cross. He offers us the cup of salvation because he drank of the cup of wrath for us.
