The New Testament Church had its heroes and megastars. But sometimes you can learn just as much from the walk-on parts. It’s time to meet some one hit wonders.
Ephesians is unique amongst Paul’s letters. No church politics. No problems to address. Just six chapters of incredible, profound, life-changing truth. It’s sublime.
In a radically individualistic culture, the Church is now seen by many as an obstacle to justice. But what does the story of the Bible have to say about justice and what can we do about it?
Christianity is a team sport, so the Bible is littered with dozens of ‘one another’ sayings. But what would it look like if we actually took these commands for community living seriously?
John's Gospel introduces Jesus as the Word, Matthew as Saviour and Mark, Messiah. But Luke introduces Jesus as the King. So what does it mean to submit to his reign?
Following Jesus isn’t just a matter of private belief. It’s an active and costly rebellion against repressive and dehumanising forces. Welcome to the Resistance!
It’s a classic divide, some believers choose to pursue personal piety while others care more about social transformation. But what if you could do both?
A lot of people struggle with key teachings they think Christians are supposed to believe. It’s time to ask some difficult questions and see what the Bible actually teaches.
If Covid has taught us anything it’s that we are social beings. We can’t thrive without strong connections to others. So what can we learn from Scripture about developing great friendships?
Joseph is the rare individual who had a dream and fully lived it. What can we learn from his story - from prison to palace - about the nature of dreams and what it takes to fulfil them?
Nobody stumbles their way to success. If we want to grow and develop in our spiritual lives we need to be intentional and disciplined. We need a game plan.
We’re not the first people to have our lives and futures turned upside down by a crisis. So what can we learn from Daniel about winning the new normal?
Christians are often told that God has a plan. But when times are tough it can be hard to see it. So how does God’s plan work and how can we discover it for ourselves?
What are the values of church, why are they important and what do they look like in practice? In other words, what does it mean to be a lover and a fighter?
What’s the connection between our appetites and our happiness? Is it possible to satisfy the cravings of our bodies without sacrificing our peace of mind?
What if the reason we don't believe in God is that we've missed the signs? What if He's always been there - but we just didn't recognise Him? A Christmas message.
How can we see social justice in our city this Christmas-time? An Advent Special, featuring interviews with our partners, the Crisis Centre and Beloved.
We look at three parables that Jesus told and ask the question: what would happen if we changed the story? And in so doing, can we change our own worlds?
Christianity is not for the faint hearted. It should come with a health warning. The early believers got a reputation as trouble makers who couldn’t be controlled. So how do we rediscover a dangerous faith?
Why are you here? In a world where our every convenience is catered for, why do we feel like something's missing? If life is a gift, then what's it for? And what gives it meaning?
Leaders provide us with a model, either as an example to follow or as cautionary tale. We look at the lives of four Israelites who wore the crown, for better or for worse.
If the Jewish Law was from God to us, then Psalms is from us to God. We look at some of these key song prayers and ask - why are they on God's playlist?
The story of the church has always been a story of heroes. We take a look at Acts to discover some of the OG characters that turned the world upside down.
All of Scripture is about Jesus. Even before he was born in Bethlehem, the Bible gives us hundreds of glimpses into how we would be and what he would do.
Most of us spend most of our lives in the workplace. So how do we make sure that we bring our faith into our working lives, and what does it look like to serve Jesus at work?
Religious people do all kinds of things to be pious, but what’s the one thing that God actually wants from us? The prophet Micah gives us a simple but challenging answer.
The Christian message is ultimately one of life after death. So what does eternal life look like, how can we be sure of it and why don’t we talk about it more often?
It's impossible to go through life without problems and all of us will face heartbreak, stress, worry and relationship breakdowns at some point. So how do we navigate these hard times?
It’s not difficult to infect someone else once you’ve really caught something. So how do we spread the good news about Jesus to those around us? How do we develop a faith that's infectious?
Finding contentment is not a money problem. It's an emotional problem and a spiritual problem. So how do we live debt-free, generous lives in a culture addicted to consuming?
The Bible is full of road trips, journeys where God walks with us to show us who He is. On his way to the cross, Jesus takes his followers The Long Way Round. Because the journey of faith is rarely a straight line.
In today’s culture, it’s easier than ever to have sex. Yet so many of us struggle to find the kind of fulfilling, joyful and lasting relationships we yearn for. Maybe it’s time to put the relationship back into 'sex and relationships'.
Plenty of people would like to believe but just can’t get past a few key issues, problems and questions. We examine five of these Deal Breakers - things that make belief unbelievable.
'Life Hacks’ make life easier in small ways. But what if you’re interested in more than just a faster way to peel an orange? We explore five proven and manageable ‘hacks' that will genuinely impact your life.
When Jesus invented the church he said that not even hell would be able to resist it. So what exactly is the church, what does it do and why should we care?
