Love one another

Date preached: 13th August 2023

There are lots of things Christians do that are … weird. There are things people do inside churches that look strange to those outside the church, and if we’re honest, many of us inside the church don’t really know why we do some of the things we do.

2. How does the way God loves you impact the way you love others?

7-day faith … together

Series: 7-day Jesus

Date preached: 2nd July 2023

For Jesus and his early followers faith wasn’t an individual “me-and-God-alone” thing. Faith was something that was lived out in community. In our world the individual is most important - we have a lost a sense of the power of community. In this message we look at what the early church said about community and ask ourselves what that means for the church today.

Questions to reflect on and discuss from this message:

1. In what areas of your life do you currently experience a strong sense of community?

2. In what practical ways do you build community in your life? Or if you struggle with this, what could you do to step into this discomfort and start to build community in your life?

3. What is something you could do this week that would help you build community with others and grow your faith? Be specific.

Making Godly Decisions

Series: 7-day Jesus

Date preached: 11th June 2023

It’s easy to believe. It’s easy to say something is important to you. In the end, what matters more than what we think and what we say is what we do. Living a 7-day faith is much more than what we think about during the week - it’s about what we do daily. This message challenges us to make daily decisions based on our faith in Jesus.

Questions to reflect on and discuss from this message:

1. What is one ‘daily fath decision’ you find easy and one you find hard?

2. Describe your own process for making Godly decisions throughout your days?

3. How would your life look different if you made more and better daily decisions based on your faith? Be specific.
