The Bethel - Old Trafford Christadelphian Church

What does it really mean to truly seek God? James explores how we can seek God in every part of our lives.

We don't need Jesus and anything, all we need is Jesus. Mike encourages us to hold on to Jesus and enjoy our relationship with him.

Today, many people gather to remember the dead. We remember the fallen but we also take time to remember one man, one death and more importantly, one resurrection. The one act that won the battle over hate and death to give life to the world.

The inexorable draw of our loving heavenly father is explored by Alan. He walks us through the calling, seeking and of God as he does the work to bring us closer to him.

Rob encouraged us to think of the Kingdom of God as a present reality, not just a future to be hoped for.

When "the word became flesh" (John 1), God's message changed from 2D to 3D. The challenge for us today is to understand how to change the 2D rules and regulations into 3D real lives. Charles encouraged us to extend the gospel into our tough situations, to capture the spirit of the good news, not get bogged down by rule and tradition.

Regardless of our roles in the church, everyone is in the 'business' of bringing people to Jesus. Andrew Uses John 4 and 5 as the basis for encouraging us all in remembering that Jesus is the saviour for all, including the 'messed up and disliked'. With the all embracing love of Jesus causing 'contagious' conversions where people wanted to share Jesus with everyone they met thereafter, Andrew encouraged us not to get complacent, but to share the limitless grace.

Whatever burdens we carry, they must be underpinned by grace. It is in weakness that we truly experience the tangible presence of God and we find grace in accepting God's generosity. It is our response to accepting grace that leads to changed lives.

Perhaps the most famous verse in the bible: John 3:16, is all about God! It tells us so much that Mike explores this verse alone today. Grace, salvation, belief and change are all explored as they appear in this one, powerful verse.

A fragment of paper with a verse from Psalm 86 was the inspiration for Tom to dig deep into examining the detail of the bible verses without getting distracted by familiarity or reading lots of verses.
