We are weary people in a weary world. But we have a thrilling hope: Jesus Christ was born to be true rest for restless hearts.

The world offers a lot of hope at Christmas through; fun, family, love, and possessions which are great until they let us down. However, what if there was a real hope that lasts, a kind of hope found in, of all places, a manger.

There are three different kinds of hope: fingers-crossed hope; smile-on-your-face hope; and changes-your-life hope. We all need the third one and that kind of hope is found in, of all places, a manger.

We meet two very different kings in Matthew 2 and we see that whilst one is willing to oppress the poor, the other king has come to identify with the poor and needy; and it is the baby king that is King of all other kings.

We want to be a church where those who are single are not dismissed or ignored, but are celebrated. Sarah Grimm helps us to see what the church is from Revelation 21 and helps both married and single people to live in Christ-like and self-giving ways.

Matthew describes the miraculous events surrounding Joseph and Mary’s son and calls him Messiah, Jesus and Immanuel. Each of these names tells us something about who this child is, how he would impact the world and those who follow Him.

This preach explores what the angel's incredible announcement to Joseph about Jesus means for us today as we consider who Jesus is (God with us!) and why he came.

Matthew’s description of Joseph and the names he gives for the Messiah in Matthew 1 shows the scandalous nature of the gospel, who the Messiah is and why He came.

As Matthew introduces his Gospel with a list of names, he is wanting to make it clear, from the very beginning of his writing that Jesus is long-awaited Messiah; the fulfilment of the whole story of Israel; and the King that people of every nation need.

Our devotion to Jesus grows as we grasp the extent of all that He has done for us.
