Mornings at YCBC

As we delve into the second half of the book of John, we turn to Jesus and explore both how the passion of Jesus was demonstrated through His own life, but also what that tells us about how Jesus wants us to live our lives.

How do we respond when we feel our faith is threatened? As Jesus with faithfulness and sacrifice? Or as Peter with 'righteous' anger?

Join us as Pastor Nick Barber shares that just because you are on the right side doesn't always mean that you are right.

As we delve into the second half of the book of John, we turn to Jesus and explore both how the passion of Jesus was demonstrated through His own life, but also what that tells us about how Jesus wants us to live our lives.

Jesus prayed. But what did He pray? Why did He pray? And what does this show about His priorities?

Listen as Pastor Nick Barber shares with us why Jesus didn't pray for a pretty, easy life. In fact, He prayed for a supernatural, challenging, attractive, and wholistic unity. Which one are we praying for and living out now?

As we delve into the second half of the book of John, we turn to Jesus and explore both how the passion of Jesus was demonstrated through His own life, but also what that tells us about how Jesus wants us to live our lives.

Who is the Holy Spirit? Why is He important? And what does He do in our lives?

Join us as Pastor Nick Barber shares with us 3 ways that the Holy Spirit shows up in our lives, and how we can both recognise that guidance, and release those responsibilities that are His to bear.

As we delve into the second half of the book of John, we turn to Jesus and explore both how the passion of Jesus was demonstrated through His own life, but also what that tells us about how Jesus wants us to live our lives.

Do we feel loved? Or do we feel hated? Or do we feel equal amounts of both at different times? And what are we called to as the Church of Jesus Christ?

Listen as Pastor Nick Barber shares with us why we are not called to be concerned whether the world loves us or hates us based on our affiliations, but rather to take love to the world because He first loved us. And why the Church should be not only the centre of that love, but the ultimate demonstration of it.

Sometimes we're in uncharted territory. Off the map. Struggling for direction. What will you do when you're struggling to find direction?

Join us as Pastor Nick Barber shares three key steps we can all take during this time of chaos, fear, and the unknown to help us refind the direction Jesus is calling us in.

Sometimes we feel like we are lost in the wilderness. No idea where we are, where we're going, or what the future holds.

How do we find our way when it feels like there is no direction through, no path in, and no end to the wilderness?

Join us as Pastor Nick Barber shares why, if we follow the example of Jesus rather than the example of Israel, there is wisdom to help us through the times we are struggling through the wilderness.

Taylor Swift famously sang "Are we out of the woods yet....are we in the clear yet". And at this time in our lives and our society, it's a question a lot of us are asking.

But what do we do when the answer is 'not yet'? When the difficulties last longer than we have the ability in ourselves to cope with?

Join us as Pastor Nick Barber encourages us that what we can see is not always what we should be looking at.

We have every ability to just come to Jesus. But we constantly try and earn our way to God.

But what if God is just calling us to come back. To put down our work, and our striving, and come back to the love that we had first?

Join us as Keith Todd shares with us why now really is the time to come back to the love that we had first.

Great difficulties may be surmounted by patience and perseverance

We hear a lot about perseverence. But what is it? And why is it important?

Join us as Pastor Nick Barber shares with us 10 practical and biblical keys to building a faith and life that will last the distance.

Life is difficult, isn't it? God has done so much in our lives, but have we taken over the work of supporting and carrying burdens that just aren't ours?

Whose timeline are we operating on? And if He started it, whose responsibility is it to finish it?

Join us as Pastor Nick Barber shares with us where our confidence should be coming from, and why that's such good news in our often busy and chaotic lives.
