William Taylor - It is easy for us to shape our own views of who Jesus is such that he becomes a comfortable figure who fits nicely into our agenda for him. In John 6 Jesus challenges such ‘plastic Jesus’ images. He is greater and more wonderful than anything we could invent…and less cosy!

Phil Hudson - James is calling the church, amid the pressures of the world, to a single-minded faith in Jesus as Lord, trusting in the grace of God. Because how we respond to the various trials we face has a real bearing on our faith and fruitfulness, James seeks to equip us to respond wisely.

Drew Balch - Joy in trials? Really? James opens his letter with a shocking command to 'Count it all joy when you face trials of many kinds'. Is that wisdom or madness? James 1:1–4 explores this paradox at the heart of the Christian life: why suffering is not pointless, how God uses trials to grow steadfast faith, and where that painful road is ultimately leading.

Andrew Markham - Where can we find blessing in 2026? God's law isn't the obvious place to look. But Psalm 1 persuades us to prioritise delighting and meditating on God's word.

Carl Matthei - In Colossians 3:1–17, Paul shows us what it means to live out the new life we already have in Christ. Because we have been raised with him, the old self no longer defines us. Instead, we are called to put off what belongs to our former way of life and to put on the character of Christ, as his word shapes our hearts, our relationships, and our worship.

Carl Matthei - Christmas is often dressed up as neat, clean, and sentimental—but the first Christmas was messy, uncomfortable, and full of flawed people. According to the Bible, Jesus didn’t come for the morally impressive or the spiritually sorted. He came for sinners. In this talk from 1 Timothy, we hear the shocking claim at the heart of Christmas: Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners. Through the story of the Apostle Paul—and the gritty reality of the nativity—we see that Christmas is not about earning God’s favour, but receiving mercy and grace we don’t deserve. This is good news for ordinary, broken people. Because Christmas isn’t for good people. It’s for people like us.

Paul Williams - At Christmas we celebrate the arrival of a baby in a manger—but John’s Gospel tells us something far more surprising. This baby is the one who made the world, yet when he came into it, the world did not recognise him. Why was God so easily overlooked? And why did he come at all? This talk explores the wonder and shock of Christmas: the Creator stepping into his creation, being rejected by it, and yet offering forgiveness, restoration, and adoption into God’s family. In a broken and weary world, Christmas isn’t about trying harder or being good enough—it’s about receiving an extraordinary gift: becoming children of God.
