The Greatest Prayer – As we move into John Chapter 17 we arrive at the largest most vivid example of what Jesus actually did in His own prayer life; we witness a moment of intimacy between Son and Father – What will He ask for? And what will be the result?

"First, Love: Do you Believe?". Sam continues our series "First Love" looking at the Gospel of John. In John 16 vs 25 - 33 we get the big reveal and Jesus tells the disciples what is available to them and us all. He asks the question, "now do you believe?".

When Jesus explains what’s coming, the disciples are slow to understand; if they’re the ‘A-Team’ it stands not for awesome but average, the point being that Jesus calls ordinary people like you to share in the adventure of bringing His Kingdom on earth. We can step forward in faith knowing He can use ‘even me’ because He is faithful to His promises.

What stops us from receiving the presence of God. We find out in John 16, and how the Lord wants us to have more of his Spirit and life in our lives.

Even in the midst of a weary world, there is always the possibility for joy.

Being vulnerable, and grateful, we can enter into all the Lord has for us and be replete with joy.

Are you wandering away from Jesus as Truth and leader of your life? Or is your heart set on rescuing those who are? Jesus’ heart is set on rescue for all people.

Pete asks us to be more like the Brownlee brothers as opposed to Victor Meldrew in our penultimate study in the book of James.

Paul takes a look at what James has to say about patience and suffering, how when things go south we need to wrestle with what's going on, and we need to stick with Jesus.

The process may be long and it's often painful, but it creates a diamond faith: unique, beautiful, and as tough as it gets!

James 5:1-6 Luxury and self-indulgence - where do we draw the line? Brian Durrant responds to James’s tough-talking and sets out God's antidote to falling foul of James's warnings.

Pete in this week's sermon on the book of James outlines three different truths about future planning. He even uses the S word, 'sin'.
