Why Wise?

Wisdom may be the difference between the life

you live and the life you wished you lived.  Wisdom is what equips us for the

thousands of choices and directions that make up our lives, so “why wise”? 

Because it matters.

CAP Sunday - This week we hear from Sam Swadling about the wonderful work of Christians Against Poverty (CAP).  This international organisation was started in the United Kingdom nearly 20 years ago and has grown to become a vital help for many people who struggle with financial difficulty.

Have You Ever Been Lost? - Jodie Habermehl

1 Kings 19:9-15  Do you remember that awful feeling, the dread and knott in the pit of the stomach knowing you are lost?  We need something, or someone, to help us find the right path to where we should be.  Sometimes we can slowly drift and become lost again even after being found, or after finding our way.  What then?

Who Do You Represent? - Mel Palmer

This week Mel Palmer challenges us to consider what, or who, we represent in the way we carry out our daily lives.  When others look at us, what do they see and to what are they drawn?

Made In the Image of God - Ben Delaney

The very first chapter of the Bible tells us we are made in God's image.  What does that mean?  How does that impact on our lives?  What are the consequences of that?  Ben Delaney takes us on a journey of discovery to find out what it means to be made in the image of God.

Mark 15:21-39  The death of Jesus was the end of the old order. 

In that moment all of life changed and new rules apply.  Jesus’ last breath

was the last breath of the old life and God will never again hold us to the standards

that applied in the first age.

Mark 15:1-20  The trials of Jesus are clearly portrayed as

corrupt, a mockery of justice.  But it is that mockery of Justice that helps us

see clearly, to know that it shouldn’t be Him that dies.  If only someone would

speak up, but of course that would blow our cover too.

Father's Day 2015

Why Aren't Dad Jokes Funny? - What is it with dads and dad jokes?  Everbody knows they aren't funny, but dads keep telling them.  What does it say about dads, and the perception of who they are and the place they have in families and society?

Mark 14:53-72  People are so passionate!  So angry!  Why?!  What

are they so angry at?!  What happens when we finally have a target for our

anger?! What happens when that target is us?!

1 John 3:16  The words of the Apostle encourage us to "...lay down our lives for the brethren".  What though does this mean?  How does this look in our daily lives?  To follow Christ, and His example, is not always easy or comfortable, but it is always rewarding.
