Teaching Series

Have you ever seen something so incredible that you can’t stop talking about it? It’s almost as if that instinct—to talk about what we’ve witnessed—is not only natural, but somehow necessary. Join us for a 4-week Sunday teaching series to hear from some people who’d seen Jesus face to face, and discovered that they were never the same again.

Mahatma Gandhi famously once said, ‘I like your Christ, I do not like your Christians.’ It’s not difficult to understand what he meant. Why is it that followers of Jesus seem, sometimes, to be so unlike the Jesus they follow? Why does Christianity often appear to be bad news, rather than good? And, for some of us, the question is much more personal…why is it so hard to see any change in our own lives? If Jesus came to change the world, why can’t I seem to change the patterns and actions in my own life?

Have you ever really grappled with God? I mean seriously wrestled with the idea, and reality, of who God is and what that means for your life today? In this short 3-part series, we meet a man named Jacob who really did wrestle with God. And life was never the same again.

Have you ever felt like you really needed to hear from God, or simply to know that he was there? Perhaps you faced an opportunity, a difficult decision, or a tough situation. Or, perhaps God seemed so far away. Join us for this six-week series – focussing on one situation in the life of Moses (Exodus 2&3) – as we explore whether God is closer than we realise; how to know if he still speaks today, and how to work out if God cares about our lives.

How would you describe God? Time and time again, the Bible describes God using one word - the Hebrew word 'hesed'. It is a word that is difficult to translate into English because it incorporates lots of depth. It's sometimes translated as mercy, faithful, loving and loyal. This short teaching series before the summer will explore three dimensions of what that looks like in our lives today.
