by Bp John Roundhill | Genesis 15: 1-21

Genesis 15: 1-21 (NIV)

Yahweh made a covenant with Abraham, that his descendants would be more numerous than the stars. The Lord was true to his word, and Israel became a great nation. Today we live under a new covenant, whereby all who accept Jesus are included in God's family.

Genesis 13: 5-18 and 14: 18-24 (NIV)

In last week's reading, Abram set us a very poor example of how to live by faith.  This week it’s the opposite; he sets us a great example of what it means to trust and glorify the Lord.  All within a passage that clearly points to Jesus – the one in whom we place our trust.

By Rev Charlie Lacey | Genesis 12: 10-20

Genesis 12: 10-20 (NIV)

Following God’s ways doesn’t guarantee us an easy life, but doubting God and rejecting his ways will invariably make our lives more difficult and complicated.  Abram had faith, but he also had doubts, and his doubts led him to make the most appalling decisions.

By Rev Charlie Lacey | Genesis 12: 1-9

Genesis 12: 1-9 (NIV)

God called Abraham and told him to ‘Go’.  In a similar way Jesus called the disciples and told them to ‘Go’.  We are the latest in a long line of believers tasked with carrying forward God’s great rescue plan.

By Rev Charlie Lacey |  Matthew 28: 16-20 

Matthew 28: 16-20 (NIV)

 The Great Commission is not an optional extra, rather, it lies at the heart of what it means to be a Christian. Today we explored what making disciples looks like in our daily lives. 

by Rev Charlie Lacey |  Matthew 28: 1-15 

 Matthew 28: 1-15 (NIV)

Today, we celebrated the most important, exciting, and impactful event in the history of the world: the resurrection of Jesus. This event assures us that death is not the end—there is life beyond the grave for those who put their trust in Jesus. 

By Rev Trevor Adams | Isaiah 53: 1-7 & Matthew 27: 11-66

Isaiah 53: 1-7 & Matthew 27: 11-66 (NIV)

As part of the court case against Jesus, he was brought to the Roman governor who asked Him the pertinent question, "Are you the king of the Jews?"

by Rev Charlie Lacey | Matthew 26: 6-56 

After supper we examined two contrasting responses to Jesus; that of the woman, who anointed Jesus with expensive perfume, and Judas, who betrayed Jesus for thirty pieces of silver.

by Rev Charlie Lacey |  Matthew 21: 1-17 

Matthew 21: 1-17 (NIV)

 Today we celebrated Jesus’ triumphal entry into Jerusalem as King. A few days later the atmosphere turned sour – but we know that Jesus was and is the true King and the crowds were right to welcome him. 

by Rev Charlie Lacey | Matthew 19: 16-30

Matthew 19: 16-30 (NIV)

Following Jesus comes at a cost, but it is nothing compared to what we stand to gain. The rich young man in Matthew's Gospel was so attached to his wealth and possessions that he couldn't follow Jesus. He is the only person in the Gospels who encountered Jesus and went away sad. Materialism remains one of the greatest challenges for Christians in the Western world.
