Todays episode features an interview with Mojtaba, an Iranian who was imprisoned for his faith

Speaker - Jono Simpson and Mojtaba Hosseini

Reading - 1 Peter 1:3-9

In this episode we remember the story of the Good Samaritan and how true neighbor-love crosses every social, ethnic, and moral boundary, revealing that compassion is the real evidence of knowing God. Ultimately the parable exposes our failure to love this way and points us to Jesus as the true and better Samaritan who rescues us at great cost to himself.

Speaker - Kevin Lewis (Good Shepherd, Carshalton Beeches)

Reading: Luke 10:25-37

We see that both the openly sinful and the outwardly moral are equally in need of grace, but only the one who knows her need receives it with love. Jesus shows that the depth of our love for him is directly tied to how deeply we grasp the magnitude of our forgiveness.

Speaker: Ursula Simpson

Bible Reading: Luke 7:36-50

We continue our sermon series, this time looking at the unexpected forgiveness Jesus offers to the parlysed man. From the outside it looked as if his need was very clear, however Jesus sees the deeper truth; that what this man really needs is forgiveness.

Speaker - Jono Simpson

Bible Reading:

Luke 5:17-26

Today's message is about the time when Jesus called the disciples. We see that he calls groups - friends, colleagues, family. 

Following Jesus is costly - it cost the disciples everything. Their calling was a life-long calling and Jesus is calling you to follow him too, if you’re still on the fence. Despite the cost, following him is worth it, even though it’s hard.

Speaker - Eileen Poore

Bible Reading:

Luke 5:1-11

The Jews were expecting a Messiah to bring judgement on Gentiles but Jesus came to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favour. He came to proclaim, and to bring a ministry of justice and compassion. 

In todays message Christine looks at how taking time to be alone with God was an essential part of the life of Jesus and as a result should be something we endeavour to adopt as we grow in our relationship with God.

Bible Reading: Psalm 63

Speaker: Christine McCutchion

In today’s message, Christine looks at the God who displays his power

Bible readings:

Exodus 6:28 to 7:24

Hebrews 3:1-6

Speaker - Christine McCutchion

Following God’s call doesn’t remove challenges—sometimes obedience leads to greater resistance—but God’s purposes will prevail.

Resistance is not a sign of God’s absence, but an opportunity for His power to be revealed.

Speaker - Roger Simpson
