Ian shares with us from the life of Noah and challenges us with this short verse from the book of Genesis : ‘Noah did everything just as God commanded him.’  Gen 6:22
What would it mean to your life, your family and your community this week if you sought to live every moment the way Jesus has called us to?

22 people are commissioned for summer missions in Ballynahinch, Ireland, Spain and Moldova.
Ali then sets us a 3 month challenge for reaching out on our front lines.

Christine Fleming kicks off our new series ‘Your Word in My Heart’ by telling us the story of how God used words written by Isaiah over 2500 years ago to remind her that, even in the midst of life’s earthquakes, He will always be a sure foundation. 
She asks us the question: Where do you find your identity and your security? - The Lord is exalted, for he dwells on high… He will be the sure foundation for your times. Isaiah 33:5-6

Roy Crowne speaks to us from Luke 5 and the story of the 4 men who lowered their paralysed friend through the roof of a house so that Jesus could heal him. Roy reminds us that it often takes bold steps of faith to experience the living God and it takes all kinds of people to do what God is calling us to.
How is God challenging you to step out in faith this week and are you prepared to take the risk?

Ali closes out our Welcome to Church series by exploring what the Apostle Paul has to say about the importance and hope of the Resurrection.

Paul explores a couple of challenging passages in 1 Corinthians regarding men and women in the church and helps us understand them better in light of the bigger biblical and cultural picture.

Rev Dario Leal from 1st Presbyterian shares from his own diverse experiences to help us better understand the Spiritual Gift of healing. He reminds us that we are able to be conduits of God’s love and compassion even when we don’t see physical healing. 
 

Andy and Karen speak to us about the often-misunderstood Spiritual Gift of tongues. They look at what the Bible teaches about the private and public use of tongues in 1 Corinthians 14 and share from their own journey and experience in this edifying gift.

Paul brings us about a beginner’s guide to prophecy. We see the repeated command for us to eagerly desire the gift of prophecy, the caution to test all prophecies and to hold on to what is good so that we can encourage, comfort and strengthen the church.

Ali helps us see that exercising spiritual gifts without love offends others and is worth nothing in God’s currency. As we look at how love is defined in 1 Cor 13, we see that the description given perfectly describes Jesus. We see too that the key to loving is to know that we are completely loved by God, and to allow Him to live in us.
