“Conscientious” “hardworking” “productive” “presentable” “organised” “thorough”. These are words of people who honour God with their work. These are words of people who love others well. Having high standards for ourselves is no bad thing. But what happens when our emotions and our ideas of self-worth are tightly wrapped up in us reaching a particular standard? How do we feel when we hit or when we fail to hit our own particular benchmark? We will be exploring together how these tendencies put cracks into our security and identity in Christ.

Paul Cooke is with France Mission and he came to Headley Park Church to share with us about what the Lord is doing in France.  Listen to the podcast as Paul teaches on John 15:1-6.  There are three kinds of branches that Jesus mentions in John 15:1-6 and Paul teaches about what Jesus is referring to when he talks about the 3 branches in verses 1 - 6.  

Anger is the wielding weapon that slices through our homes and work places. It devours relationships and damages the perpetrator in the process. Red hot and loud or cold, calculated and seething. Flaring up in a moment or simmering quietly over time. Have you ever spoken to an angry person who just doesn’t notice they are angry? Maybe you have been that person. We will be looking for a potential antidote to this volatile and dangerous emotion, and think about honing this emotion for the glory of God.

Listen to the podcast as Katie teaches us about anger and to find out if there indeed is an antidote.

As Christians is it ok to be sad? Shouldn’t we be able to remain relatively happy given all of our spiritual blessings in Christ? After all nobody likes to be sad. A happy life is surely the aim of the game! At this seminar we will be focusing on Psalm 57, Katie will be sharing a testimony of sadness from her own life and how hard it can be to keep a ‘steadfast heart’ in the face of sorrow, and we will be looking to Jesus. Not only did He know how to express sadness, in immense love for us He entered in to the most upsetting of human experiences to save us from them.

In this second Biblical Theology teaching, Simon explains what the Bible means when it calls Jesus the last Adam.
