Today we continue in the Gospel of Luke.  In today’s passage, Zane Elliott  takes us back to the crowd who demanded a sign, and accused him of working for the devil. 

Today he shows us how Jesus challenges their motives as he shows them that;
 i)Jesus' message is enough vv.29-33, and then highlights their false motives as he insists that;
 ii) Jesus' self-revelation is enough vv.33-36.

As we continue in the Gospel of Luke Zane Elliott walks us through an illogical accusation and three grave warnings after Jesus heals a mute man.

As we continue in the Gospel of Luke Jean Palmer takes us to famous instructions for followers of Jesus on how to pray.

In this service we'll continue on the 'Road to Jerusalem' with Jesus, as we open Luke 10:25-37 and come to the very well known Parable of the Good Samaritan.

Jesus tells this story in response to a lawyer, an expert in the Jewish law who hammers him with a question, which aims to achieve something very different from what it sounds like on the face of it.

Today, in Luke 10:25-37, we are going to grapple with that question, and Jesus’ answer.  {slide 3} We’re going to spend some time understanding i) the Lawyer’s questions vv.25-29
Before we see Jesus, ii) getting to the heart of the matter vv.30-35,. Then we spend most our time exploring how Jesus asks iii) a better question vv.36-37

In this semon we return to the Gospel of Luke. We'll pick up at Chapter 9 verse 51, a key verse in this gospel, where Jesus resolutely sets his face towards Jerusalem and all that awaits him there.

As we work through the passage (9:51-10:24) we'll see how Jesus reframes the expectations of his disciples.

He gives the instructions about going out and sharing in Kingdom proclamation i)Under the Sovereignty of God vv.1-16. 
And he reframes ii) What ministry success really looks like v.17-24. As we explore those two big concepts we’ll also draw on the two preceding encounters, one in a Samaritan village where Jesus was rejected, and one where disciples were called to prioritise Kingdom proclamation above all else.

Under The Shadow of his Wings Psalm 61

In this short series 'Under the shadow of His wings" we look at the overwhelming confidence Christine can have, as they take refuge in God's care and protection. Today Zane Elliott walks us through Psalm 36 and helps us think through where we can find refuge in the storms of life, even extreme situations where others threaten to harm us. He'll help us see:
 i)what the wicked are like, and how we can face their plots and schemes because of
 ii) The love of God.
Please note: The reading of Psalm 36 has been excluded from the audio.

Life can be uncertain and unpredictable. As we begin a New Year we are taking time to consider God's Sovereign providence, care and protection as we work through a series of three Psalms. the series is called 'Under the Shadow of His wings.'

Today Jean Palmer opens Psalm 91.

Today we continue in our Advent series 'the Coming of a Saviour.' Zane Elliott takes us to a prophecy given around 7-800 years before Jesus was born, which pointed to how God would fulfil his wonderful promise to gather people who had rejected him back to himself as God's people, they would live in god's place enjoying God's blessing. 

Today we explore God's Plan to do that, and how it came true for King Ahaz, and how it came true in the birth of the Lord Jesus.

Today we are going to meet men who come and bow before a king, not in a grand palace but humbly on the floor, recognising the Kingship of a baby. As this saviour is recognised as a king, we are both surprised, and reassured as Matthew points us to the Old Testament consistency of Jesus’ reign which calls us to {slide}
i) recognise the king! As we see the responses of Herod and the Magi to this King Matthew helps us to
ii) grasp the scope of his kingdom and puts us on the spot helping us to think through how we will respond to its ruler.
