I don't believe in unanswered prayer! God always answers prayers, just not always in ways we might like. In this first message in the series "When God Answers..." we look at 1 Corinthians 12:1-10 and consider what we can learn from God's denial of Paul's prayer to remove his thorn.

The average Christian prays about 7 minutes a day. Its not because we doubt the priority and power of prayer, it's just that praying is hard work. Romans 8:26-27 reminds us that that Holy Spirit is our Great helper in prayer.

In Exodus 17 we read of how Moses, Aaron, Hur and Joshua all contributed to the defeat of the Amalekite forces, what lessons can we learn as a church on facing our battles?

Luke 5:11 says the disciples left everything on the beach to follow Jesus. What must we leave behind to be His disciples? And what do we find when we leave it all behind?

Proverbs 30:24-28 introduces us to some small members of the animal kingdom with some big lessons to teach us. What do ants, locusts, hyraxs and lizards reveal about God and the Christian life?

We begin a quick look at the Book of Philippians and share some of the joy choices that Paul lays out for believers. In this first message we consider what Paul means when he writes: "To live is Christ; to die is gain." When we make Christ the source of ultimate joy the rest of life falls into place.

In our third message from Philippians we look at the joy choice: "Give Up to Go Up." In adapting this phrase from John Maxwell, we consider what it means to give up earthly things to press on to the prize of heavenly citizenship.

In this second message in our series on the joy choices of Philippians, we look at chapter 2 and following the example of Jesus look at what it means to choose to serve others in humility. By putting others first, we find Christ-like joy.

Drawing on the book, "The Five Love Languages" this Mother's Day message reminds us that our love for God is often mirrored in our love for our mothers.

In John 21, the encounter between Jesus and Simon Peter shows us how the Risen Lord restores us, even when we fail him.
