Loving the Bride is a series looking at how we can love the church as Christ loved the church... He gave His life for the church.

Week one looks at the marriage vow 'All that i have i give to you' and we look it what it means to lay down your life, firstly to Jesus and then for the church!

Rod speaking on the good life... what it truly means to live for God with Him in the centre.

As a prelude to the resurrection Jesus bring Lazarus back to life calling him out of a tomb that had held him for 4 days. This miracle was a the last straw for the religious elite as they now saw Jesus as the number one threat to the Nation's future. Today we want to look at how the resurrection of Lazarus has an impact on our lives today as we realise we too are spiritual dead without Christ, that He calls us be name and that we have to respond to His call and finally like Lazarus need to remove all the burial clothes that we still card from our old life. A transformation message that introduces Jesus as The resurrection and the life for us today.

God commands us to be Holy, but how do we do that in a sinful and broken world where we constanly face sin, temptation and our old nature every day. The answer is that God gives us the power to overcome evil! the answer is Grace... Grace is the fuel needed to get us living the christian life but we need to keep short accounts with God on the sin we encounter every day. This message will give us many keys to living a Holy Life for God.
