How can I live differently? Do I have ideas and beliefs that don’t fit with Jesus’ Kingdom? What is God’s response to power and authorities? Jesus Is: Rebel, but not the one people wanted. He treated bad people well, included the excluded and restored those who society called unclean. Joe Mcsharry shares on Jesus’ call for us to live differently with him by reflecting on Colossians chapter 2-3.

What does it mean for Jesus to be ruler of all? Is God sovereign? What will happen when Jesus returns? Ness Wilson shares on God's sovereignty and rulership. Jesus is on the throne and is ruler over all creation. One day every knee will bow, and every tongue confess that Jesus is Lord, but what does this mean for us now? What will this mean when Jesus returns?

Is Jesus the promised King? What does it mean that Jesus defeated death? Will Jesus’ reign never end? Jesus is the promised king. There are over 450 old testament prophecies about His coming, however He was not the king everybody was expecting. Unlike the other rulers of the day, it was at His weakest moments during birth and resurrection that His kingship was declared. By defeating death Jesus is also the eternal king, setting Him apart from every other leader who has walked the earth. His rule and reign will never end.

How did Jesus live? What were his character traits? What is Jesus’ example to us? Rich Cave launches our new series 'Jesus Is' by looking at how 'Jesus Is: Example'. Jesus calls us to follow him, but he doesn’t leave us without help. He equips us with the Holy Spirit, calls us to receive God’s love, and invites us to partner with him. 

Ness Wilson shares four keys of 'hope' for 2021. As we enter a new era it is time to ask ourselves what we have gained and want to take with us into this new year, and what we have lost and want to leave behind. If this also feels like a new era for you personally, what defining characteristic is God speaking over you?

On Sunday Rich Wilson ended our series, ‘The Way To Wellbeing’, by looking at the spiritual fruit of love. By looking at the story of the bleeding woman in Mark's gospel, he explains that “the deepest wound to our wellbeing is that we struggle to love ourselves.” Despite everyone else giving up on her, she had not given up on herself. Much like the woman, we too can reach out to touch God's love and receive it in full.

Roger Bretherton shares 3 tips to resisting temptation and cultivating the spiritual fruit of self-control. He looks at our identity, our need for friendships, and that “making time to enjoy love in the right place is the antidote to seeking love in the wrong place.” Roger uses 2 Timothy 1:6-7 as a significant starting point for cultivating self-control, as it speaks of power, love and self-control that characterise the Spirit now alive in us.

"Jesus demonstrated that gentleness is not weakness but rather courage to stare sin in the face and express outrageous acts of love." John Olaleye shares some very personal reflections on his journey with gentleness and takes a look at how Jesus lived it out in his daily encounters.

Even in the hard times, just like Jesus and King David, we too can say ‘into your hands I commit my spirit’, trusting our lives in the hands of our heavenly Father. If we stay close to God’s word, cultivate an active and honest prayer life, are led by the Holy Spirit rather than our emotions, and ask God to show us the personal mandate he has for this season of our lives, we will begin to feed on God’s faithfulness. We will find ourselves choosing to remain faithful to God, to others, and to what God has called us to do in this season.

As we move into a November lockdown Joe McSharry unpacks how a life in service to others allows God to outwork His goodness in us and through us.
