Philippians 3:1-14 (NIV)

In today’s passage, Paul makes it clear that our confidence should not be in ourselves.  Instead, we put our confidence in Jesus.  He wants to change and transform our lives, and ultimately, he’s made a way for us to experience resurrection life, with him forever.

Philippians 2: 12-30 (NIV)

Today's passage began with Paul telling the Philippians to ‘work out their salvation with fear and trembling’. He then gives two examples of men who were doing just that, Timothy and Epaphroditus. Two amazing servant-hearted men, who gave their all to spreading the good news of Jesus.

Philippians 2:1-11

Jesus was the most joyful person who ever lived, and if we want to experience true joy, we must have the same mindset as Jesus.  The world tells us that we find happiness and fulfilment when we focus on ourselves.  The Bible says something very different.  The Bible says that joy is found in humility and selflessness.

By Rev Charlie Lacey | Philippians 1: 12-30

Philippians 1: 12-30 (NIV)

It’s not so much that Jesus is our ultimate priority – it’s that Jesus is our whole life – and all our priorities should emanate from a life led in obedience to Him.

By Rev Charlie Lacey | Philippians 1: 1-11

Philippians 1: 1-11 (NIV)

Even though Paul was in prison when he wrote his letter to the Philippians, he expressed tremendous joy. One of the sources for his joy was the love and affection that the Lord poured into his heart for his brothers and sisters in Christ.

James 5: 1-11 (NIV)

We live in a world where wealth is seen as the primary measure of success.  Very often, when we have more, we feel like we are more.  And when we have less, we feel like we are less.  Today we challenged that assumption.

By Penny Howchin| Colossians 1: 15-20

Colossians 1: 15-20 (NIV)

Our creativity is a gift from God, the ultimate creator.  One of the ways we reflect God's image is by being creative.  Being creative in our unique ways honours God and who he made us to be.

Genesis 1: 27-28, Genesis 2: 20-25 (NIV)

What does it mean to be male and female – why is it important – and how much does our gender have to do with our identity anyway?

By Rev Charlie Lacey | Matthew 12: 46-50
Matthew 12: 46-50 (NIV)

Today, as part of our 'Who Am I?' series, we looked at the family.  There’s no doubt that all of us have been shaped by our family environment, but what part does that play in our actual identity as we stand before God?

By Rev Trevor Adams | 2 Corinthians 5: 1-10

2 Corinthians 5: 1-10 (NIV)

In the Bible Paul says our current body is like a tent! It has a ‘use by’ date. So what then is the other existence that Paul alludes to as “In the mean time,”  ‘The Holy Spirit is given to us as our guarantee of that future life?’
