Join Dave, Mandy and Andrew as we explore in more detail Psalm 36.  We continue in wonder and contentment at who God is, tackle the translation question raised in verse 1, think more generally about Bible translations, then look at the poetry of the Psalm and some of the things that stood out to us.  We then ask the Mission Director how we can better engage with our friends and family and help them to see their own evil, before enjoying a beautiful Third Day song based on Psalm 36 performed live by Bailey and Melody.

Join Dave, Mandy and Mike as we explore Psalm 23.  We continue to wonder at God and his creation, chat with Mike about his interpretation of the Psalm and the sheep metaphor, and explore the image of shepherds  and the way that it is used extensively throughout the Old Testament and into the New Testament too.

Welcome to Season 3 of Sermon Seasonings, where we begin our deep dive into our Psalms Series: Songs of the Soul.  Today Dave and Mandy talk about what are the Psalms and how do we understand and appreciate their poetry, before looking closely at some of the poetic techniques as they are used in Psalm 8.  Join us as we wonder at all that God is and has done.

Join Mandy, Seb and Simon as we discuss 1 Peter 5 and conclude our journey through 1 Peter.  In this episode we discuss  leadership and the rector drought, the mighty hand of God and present suffering, the role of glory and the crown that motivates our service, before sharing some personal reflections upon what God has been teaching us through 1 Peter.

Dave and Mandy welcome Mike Gore from Open Doors to consider what it looks like to suffer for the sake of the gospel.

This week we examine 1 Peter 4:1-11 and think through how to live now for God.  Listen in as Dave answers some questions from Sunday, we explore the concept of hospitality and look at the preposition "through'.  Hang on until the end for a special musical treat!

Dave and Mandy chat through 1 Peter 3:8-21 and think about living a life of grace.  We look at Psalm 34 and it's background, and tackle the tricky section regarding the spirits in prison.

1 Peter 2:13-3:7 raises the whole idea of submission.  What is it and how do we do it?  Join Dave and Mandy as we take a deep dive into the murky waters,  and see just how good God is, and the way  that living out a life of submission brings honour and glory to God.

Dave is back for a special extended edition of Sermon Seasonings, taking a deep dive into the topic of predestination.  We look at 1 Peter 2:4-10 and examine what God's word has to say about his sovereignty and human responsibility, and in the end the comfort that the scripture provides for those who trust in him.
