Talk for 12

As we kick off a new year, what better resolution as a disciple of Jesus than to strive to know him better and be found in him? In this first episode of ‘No Turning Back’ Christine explores how we might start the year with resolve to grow more like Christ, not just today but everyday.

Life is busy no matter what your life looks like. Knowing that God has shown us rhythms of rest through His Word, how do we find time to rest? In the second part of our series on rest, we're joined by Sam, Christie and Lily as they explore how they find rest in their everyday lives.

As we head into the holidays, which can often end up being busier than we would like as we cram more and more things in, why not stop to think about the topic of "rest"? Join Sam in this two-part series as we hear about what God and the bible has to say and why we should be intentional about how we do it.

To Santa or not to Santa? That is the question being asked in the second part of this year's series on preparing well for Christmas. Join Candice and Kath as they discuss this age-old question with Gill.

In this first episode, Gill chats about how we can use our Christmas traditions to ensure that we all remember the real reason for the season.

In Luke 7:40-50, Jesus asks his dinner host Simon "do you see this woman?" Jesus is referring to an uninvited dinner party guest - a woman of questionable reputation. Whilst others see her as a "great sinner", Jesus sees her as a woman who's many sins have been forgiven. Jane and Sarah unpack this woman's act of love and devotion as she kisses and washes Jesus' feet with her hair. For those of us who have been recipients of the same forgiveness she has received in Christ, have we responded in the same way?

In one of Jesus' appearances to his disciples after his resurrection, he asks Simon Peter three times "do you love me?". What is the significance of this question, especially in light of Simon Peter rejecting Jesus three times before the rooster crowed? Join Jill and Chris as they discuss this question posed by Jesus in John 21:1-17 and what it should mean for those of us who claim to love Jesus.

On a hillside in Galilee, Jesus asks the gathered crowds, "why do you worry?" Does Jesus know just how many things there are to worry about in this day and age, compared to back then? In the first episode of this series on "Questions Jesus Asked", Dani and Eleanor read Matthew 6:25-35 together and find out whether Jesus really does have the answer to worry.

In this one-off episode, we get to hear from Gillian, one of our link missionaries about how God used a "normal" girl like her to take his gospel to the nations. Gillian was challenged during her time at university to align her life with Christ and allow him to lead her to serve in His world, wherever that may be... it just turned out to be in Rome!
