Catch our vision Part 3

February 19, Nigel Rogers

The good news of Jesus is something that we share with others but for what purpose? Has there ever been a time when you have been ashamed of the gospel? What helps you stand strong and courageously for the good news of Jesus Christ?


Catch our vision Part 2

February 12, Nigel Rogers

listen | study

More on our vision for 2012: the Gospel: know it, share it, live it. It can be said that the difference between the attitude of a slave and a servant is that “A slave has to do things whereas a servant wants to do things.” Are you God’s servant? How do you live your life to benefit Christ’s cause?

Happy New You!

January 1, Steve Everist

listen | study | time lapse video

If we could look at our life through time lapse photography what would we see? What would we see differently? What would we have missed in that fast and frantic sprint that is our life? We tend not to see the depth of our lives as it stretches behind us. Three steps to getting the most out of this New Year: 1. Remember your testimony and face up to where are you now. 2. Ask God to raise in you a new level of faith. 3. Determine to pray.

Along came Jesus Part 3

December 18, Nigel Rogers

watch | listen | study

Not a whole lot of Love Part 3 – Love?

November 27, Steve Everist

watch | listen | study

The loudest note in the book of Jonah is the thing that is missing – love for the people of the world – the book cries out for something or someone to change the hearts of, first, Jonah and then the believers that Jonah represents. Do you experience cultivating a love for all people in the world difficult? Do our limits to love limit our capacity to do mission?
