Jesus Challenges Our Assumptions

In a world where it feels everyone is ready to argue, it’s easy to be defensive about our own assumptions.

But if we are going to see the world differently, we need to allow our assumptions about life to be challenged.

It’s what Jesus did to people in his time. It’s what he still does.

Second & Third Signs – Jesus Heals

When John wrote the gospel, he includes just 7 miracles – even though he knew a lot more happened.

What his account highlights is how Jesus engages our vulnerabilities and brings us back to health.

Back to life.

We Need A New Hope

You can see that some people have been broken by life.

Others just hide it well.

How honest can we be?

Jesus steps into our brokenness and stops us being defined by it.

What You Need To Know (February 2024)

We Need A New Heart

One of the questions that crops up at regular intervals throughout life is one of the most basic ones: ‘Can we change? Can the direction of my life change?’

Jesus offers hope that things are not fixed, that change is possible to all who are open.

It begins with the heart.

First Sign – Jesus Offers New Life

Too many of us wonder whether we are good enough, or fear what others might think about us.

The power of shame can be crippling.

Jesus rescues us from that power so that we can live joy-filled lives.

When He Calls, I’ll Follow

Life is complicated.

We can either try to work out our own pathway, or we can accept the invitation of the One who knows where he is going and wants us to walk alongside him.

A Light-Filled Eternal Life

John’s gospel, written for people who may never have met Jesus, or perhaps even been born when Jesus was on earth, needed to be rooted in understanding who Jesus was and what his actions meant for them in their time.

We are in the same place as them.

Hope Is Born

Jesus is the one who is the ground of all our hope.

Because he was born, we can sing.
