The Miracle of Christmas...the miracle of the message

Why would the God of the Universe, the All Powerful One want to have an intimate relationship with humankind? At the heart of the miracle of Christmas is the fact that He does and that’s the central message of this Season! We aren’t worthy of His love, grace and mercy but He lavishes these things on us anyway and wants us to aspire to the greatness we are destined to achieve in Him.

Re-Tale Therapy - Rediscovering the Story Behind Christmas: The Power of Give

One of the great challenges of Christmas shopping is not only the parking, but untangling the true message of Christmas from the advertising. In this New Series, we'll take the Christmas campaign title of three major retailers, and give them a bit of "Re-Tale Therapy."

Speaker: Sam Haddon

When you think about it, there were many options available for God to introduce His Son into the world: via an aristocratic family or with a huge fanfare of pomp and pageantry etc. But no, God chose humble, inconsequential people to play the key roles in that first Christmas drama.  The miraculous thing is, that’s exactly the method He uses today to bring in His Kingdom rule.

In a world that seems to have so many competing truths, many ask "how can I be really sure about what is fact and what is fiction"? What does the Bible say about our search for assurance?

Speaker: Sam Haddon

The timing for the arrival of Jesus was perfect, with the social, political and religious conditions lending themselves to a situation where ordinary people flocked to hear Jesus preach and teach. In that sense, it was a miracle!  Today, when people are open and receptive to Jesus’ message, that's the time when God reveals Himself in all His fulness...

Speaker: Graham Agnew

Am I what I acquire? Am I what I feel? Am I what I was born into? The list goes on. The search for our Identity seems to be one of the trademarks for the modern life. How does the Bible suggest we find it?

Most experienced airline travellers know the secret of travelling light, in that they are constantly reviewing the contents of their bags and tryingg to avoid the penalties of "Excess Baggage". In life by God's grace, it's possible to adopt the same practice, but it takes faith, courage and surrender...

Whether it be Yoga, Religion or some other form of Spirituality… how do we account for the inner yearnings of the human heart, for something beyond the tangible world around us?

Speaker: Sam Haddon

There's always a sense of relief when we finally get to the point in our travels where we're able to drop our bags into the hands of someone else at the Check In counter. Up until then we've been lugging them ourselves but now, at the drop off point, we find release from the burden. Jesus Christ is able to bring that sort of release and freedom as He takes "the baggage" of our lives.

Speaker: Graham Agnew

Why does there seem to be a deep restlessness in the everyday person? Whether religious or not, everyone seems to be searching for that one thing that will really "satisfy". In week one of this new series, we look at happiness. How might the Bible inform our pathway to that elusive state called contentment?
