We continue this week with our series in Genesis and come to the story of the tower of Babel. It is here that humanity, speaking the same language, gather together in rebellion against God and as God sees their pride and arrogance he scatters them and confuses their language. We see that every attempt to build a kingdom, a community, or a life in our own name will be short-lived; but there is one name under heaven given to us which gathers and re-unites for eternity.

We come to the story of Noah and the Ark. This part of God's word reminds us of some hard truths. It confronts us with the darkness of our hearts and God's coming judgement on sin. But it also points to the one who brings comfort to our hearts, and the only true place of safety in our world as we take refuge in Jesus Christ.

In Genesis 3 we are told of how sin entered the world and corrupted our relationship with God, one another, and even the creation. But in this tragic chapter we also see hints of mercy, grace, and hope for a restored and better future.

Today we begin a new series going back to the very beginning. In Genesis 1 and 2 we are told of the God who created all things, including us who are made in his image, and created to glorify him and enjoy him forever.

Joash Parker speaks about the King of Glory from Psalm 24.

Living in a broken world can be disorientating. Like David, in Psalm 23, we need a constant focus on the shepherd to pass through the darkest valleys of our lives.

Jesus was forsaken from his Father in the cross, which means that we are never truly alone.

Today we come to the end of our series exploring what it means to be on mission together, reflecting on how we promote the gospel through our public gatherings. The New Testament expectation is that as believers meet to praise and worship god that will be a powerful declaration of the gospel for all to see.

Today we reflect on how we can use the financial resources God has given us for the growth of his Kingdom. The New Testament describes financial giving as partnership in the gospel, and we are encouraged to remember the grace of the Lord Jesus in our generosity.

Today we reflect on how God has gifted his people and gives gifts of his people to the church. There are different kinds of service, but in all of them, and in every one, the same God is at work.
