Trinity Chippenham

Written by one of Jesus' half-brothers, this letter is full of practicality but it's even more full of passion for Jesus! James' desire is to reflect Jesus' character in every area of our lives, in every place and every circumstance.

God loves to give us good gifts, including trials that mature us.

We were joined by a detective on the hunt for evidence about Jesus - could He really have risen from the dead?

Easter Sunday is the day that changes everything. How can a 'normal' Spring day be that important?

God loves us and He treats us as individuals

Life in Christ is about faith not works, but what does that life look like? One key way is serving each other, in love. The quality of our relationship with Jesus in the 'secret place' will directly affect how (and if!) we love and serve others.

Galatians 5:13-15

We come to the 'end' of Ruth and Naomi's story. We again see that in the very real ups and downs of life God is with us and for us. We have the big picture - the Kinsman Redeemer is born, the Saviour is coming.

This part of the story addresses Naomi's 'long term' problem - family. But this chapter is not really about matchmaking and dating advice...

Is God good and does he care? Ruth and Naomi need a protector and provider, just to survive. One day Ruth goes to look for "grace" and she 'happens' upon Boaz...

Where is God in dark places? Does he disappear?

The characters in Ruth are normal, like us, yet they show us that it is possible to live godly lives in a dark culture.

Doubt is a huge issue but it isn't talked about a lot in churches. Questions about God and for God are common and can sometimes lead to people walking away from God. Psalm 44 gives us a pathway to faith- but not in the way we might think.
