We continue our series in John looking at who John the baptist is, what he said about himself, and what he said about Jesus. John was clear, "Jesus is the lamb of God, who takes away the sins of the world".

John is an incredible book, written by the disciple. It has incredible truths and statements that Jesus made about himself. It all reveals his glory and power, that you may believe and have life in his name.

John writing regarding of the purpose of this books says “Jesus performed many other signs in the presence of his disciples, which are not recorded in this book. 31 But these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name.” John 20:30&31

Our prayer is that through this series we all may come and grow in our belief that Jesus is the Messiah, and that by believing we may have life in his name.

In this talk Rehana invites us to consider what it means to run our race well for Jesus by exploring chapters 9 and 10 in the book of 1 Corinthians.

The bible speaks a lot about how Christianity is like being an athlete. We all have our race to run and are called to fix our eyes on Jesus. So throughout the summer we'll be looking at what it means to be diligent in training, running with perseverance, enduring hardships and "forgetting what lies behind, straining forward to what lies ahead, pressing on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus." Philippians 3:14

Jonah had a massive ministry, but a sinful heart. Malcolm completes our series in Jonah chapter 4 showing us how Jonah was a work in progress and so are we.

Jonah is a great story with so many insights into our heart attitudes, God's compassion and His relentlessness to forgive those who repent.

The Lord is a God of boundless compassion not just for ‘us’ (the people of God) but for everyone. Jonah is the object of God’s compassion throughout the book but so also are the pagan sailors and the Ninevites. At the end is the question – “Should I not pity Ninevah?” this leaves us with the question – Do we have hearts of compassion for others, like God does?

Jonah at times seems way more concerned with the plant that perished (4:10) than with concern for the Ninevites. This incredible compassionate character of God is contrasted with Jonah’s compassion, yet rather than leave Jonah to his whims, God even extends compassion to him, using him as a vessel to see his compassion enacted in the world, just like we should today.
