Josh Taylor explores the ruler and the servant based on Matthew 20.

The story Jesus tells in Matthew 20:1–16 is surrounded on both ends by statements that the last will be first and the first will be last. In this talk we explore what this parable of outrageous generosity tells us about the rewards of following Jesus.

Normally, money opens doors and turns dreams into reality.  The more money you have, the more you can achieve.  But when a rich and devout young man gets into discussion with Jesus, it seems  like things get turned upside down.  In this talk on Matthew 19:13‑30  we hear the bad news and the good news from Jesus when it comes to money, children, sacrifice and eternal life.

Paul encourages the Thessalonians and us to pray for ourselves and our church –

that we might be a people committed to thoughtful prayer.

that we may have a global not just a parochial vision of reaching others with the gospel.

that our attitudes to reading and studying the Bible might produce in us right understanding, willing obedience and faithful, productive service.

and that we might truly know and express the peace which God’s grace alone can bring through Jesus.

Hugh Isaacs explores forgiveness based on Matthew 18.

Bishop Chris Edwards highlights the width, length, height and depth of the love of Christ - a love which is so familiar to Christian believers, but which can so easily slip from the front of our minds.

Psalm 126 teaches us about the power of remembering the joy of our redemption, and about the value of anticipating the joy of our salvation.

Jesus' disciples had heard him talk about the coming "kingdom of heaven", and they had a question:  "who is the greatest, in the kingdom of heaven?".  They wanted to know who'd be at the top of the ladder, and how they could get up there too.  But Jesus' reply showed them that a whole different way of thinking was needed.  In this talk on Matthew 18:1‑14 we see the importance of the low position, and its implications for relating to the people around us.

Hugh Isaacs explores faith, death and taxes based on Matthew 17.
