William Taylor - What was the earliest Christian message as it was proclaimed? With so many around the world expressing faith in Jesus, and numerous now investigating again, we will explore Christianity 101.

William Taylor - It sometimes surprises people that the Bible is so full of advice about what we do with our money! As Paul concludes his letter he has five key financial 'indicators' for the wise investor. Whether the markets are tanking or surging God has wisdom for us with regard to AAA-rated savings.

William Taylor - Developing belief and culture are key to establishing resilience. So said Sir Gareth Southgate in his outstanding 'Dimbleby lecture' last week. These things are precisely what Paul's letter to the Philippians has been about. The big difference with what Paul is offering is the divine source and supernatural strength that can be found in Jesus and is available to all.

William Taylor - The way we think about things - our opinions - shapes the whole direction of our life. Our mindset matters. This week's talk will help us in understanding what the mature Christian mind should look like and where it should focus.

William Taylor - Health, safety, risk and danger – they're all things we take remarkably seriously, and rightly so! But there are real risks and dangers for the Christian and indeed anyone who wants to succeed at life in their own strength. Paul wants us to know how to mitigate them.

William Taylor - It's one thing to tell someone what to do…it's quite another to show them what doing it will look like. At the heart of Paul's letter to the Philippian church are two 'worked examples' of what it means in practise to have the mindset of a heavenly citizen. The examples provide us with a brilliant blueprint of gospel partnership in action.

William Taylor - With Jesus Christ as the 'model citizen' and the anointed ruler of God's everlasting kingdom, Christians have been given a bench-mark of what citizenly conduct looks like in action. Jesus' demonstration of the values at the heart of God's kingdom is not only profoundly attractive, it has also been vindicated by God and will triumph in eternity.

William Taylor - Citizenship and citizenly values has been in the news over the weekend. It is precisely this theme that forms the central part of Paul's letter to the Philippians. What are the characteristics of a true citizen of God's kingdom?

William Taylor - The good news of Jesus' kingly rule has multiplied exponentially across the globe, century by century. How has this happened? Through men and women so persuaded of the benefits of Jesus' rule that they make speaking of Jesus and of the message of his death and resurrection their life-passion: both in life…and death.

William Taylor - Partnership is a major theme of Paul's letter to what appear to be model believers in the church at Philippi. Up front in the letter Paul tells them what it is that he longs for from Christian believers who have made an exemplary beginning to their life of faith in Jesus.
