Celebrating Resurrection Sunday

This week Ali will be closing our JESUS OVER EVERYTHING series as we consider what it looks like to allow the peace of Christ to rule in our hearts and the Word of Christ to have free reign in our lives.

This week we will start to explore Paul's final imperative to the Colossians that calls us into lives of cost, discomfort, inefficiency … and beautiful life-giving connection.

Ali will be helping us to explore the first half of Colossians 3 where we see that living with a heavenly perspective means putting to death old ways

This week Ali will be opening up our new series in Colossians, JESUS over everything.

Josh is taking us further into our JESUS OVER EVERYTHING series, exploring our freedom and interconnectedness in Christ.

Karen continuing our JESUS OVER EVERYTHING series in Colossians as we explore Ch2 v6&7. We will be reminding ourselves of the fundamental importance of time in God's presence.

This week Paul continues our JESUS OVER EVERYTHING series, and we dive back in for ‘It's not about you – part 2'

Paul will be looking at how everything is from Jesus, for Jesus and about Jesus… and how that's a really good thing!

This week Paul will be helping us reflect on the wonder of a holy and awesome God who is also gracious and compassionate in our lives. We will also be celebrating communion together.

This week Ali looks at our call to “Proclaim the Good News of Jesus”

This week Paul explores the reality that our greatest calling, and the place where we find new and abundant life, is in Pursuing the Glory of God.

Ali explores the second last part of the story of Nehemiah and shows us how taking stock of God's faithfulness and goodness caused the people to take action and re-orientate their lives and priorities.

Josh helps us look at Nehemiah 8 and REVIVAL! The wall had been finished, but God was not finished with Nehemiah or the people of Israel yet.

Ali continues our series in Nehemiah by exploring the strategies of the enemy outlined in Chapter 6. We see that when Nehemiah stood his ground against distraction, deception and fear, the enemy fled

Karen continues our REPENT - REBUILD - REVIVE series by exploring themes of restoration and justice in Nehemiah – ‘Who has your back?' We are reminded that the needs of man will always be with us, so the priority is to hear the heart of Jesus and follow Him into our world.

Paul looks at conflict and opposition in the story of Nehemiah and shows us how Nehemiah responded to opposition by PRAYING, REMINDING and PERSERVERING.

Ali helps us explore the first part of Nehemiah chapter 2. We see that God is in the ‘reconstruction business'. He used Nehemiah after a period of patient prayer that ultimately involved a courageous, but necessary ‘jump off the mountain' moment.

Paul kicks off our new series – REPENT, REBUILD, REVIVE – exploring the call of God on Nehemiah in the Middle East in the 5th century BC and asking what it means for us in Ireland in the 21st century.

Dave Brown interviews Brian Steenson in the last of our summer HEROES interviews. Brian shares with us about the challenges and joys of his faith journey in a powerful and authentic conversation.

Karen interviews Hannah Williams. She tells us about the joy she has found, holding on to the love and hope of Jesus through life's highs and lows.

Josh interviews Reuben Smyth and we hear about the incredible role of The Edge youth centre in Reuben's life and faith. It is amazing to see how God kept speaking to Reuben through people and circumstances until Jesus finally became undeniable to him.

Paul brings our Walk This Way series to a close. He reminds us that worship is simply the natural overflow of enjoyment and awe and that we can only walk when we know where we sit. God is calling us into new and transformed lives, but we can only walk in response to His love and only by the power of His Spirit in us!

Karen tackles the final section of the letter to the Ephesians. She reminds us that EVERYTHING IS SPIRITUAL and that we are constantly in a battle for hearts, minds and lives that needs God's armour and the Sword of His Spirit. WALK THIS WAY … this is how we fight our battles!

Paul continues our WALK THIS WAY journey, entering the final chapter of Ephesians. We see that Jesus is calling us into abundant lives that are marked by SUBMISSION and SACRIFICE.

Josh continues our WALK THIS WAY series in Ephesians 4 and reminds us that, because of what God has given us through Jesus, our life in Jesus is about overflow not protocol.

We celebrate Resurrection Sunday, exploring the impact the events had on the people involved 2000 years ago and reflecting on our response today. The resurrection message is a reminder of the victory that Jesus achieved for all who accept Him, regardless of our past.

Alain Emerson, from Emmanuel Church and Tobar, joins us to continue our journey through Ephesians as we look at a few key leadership gifts that help the whole church find our place and walk in God's story. We are called to be a family on mission not a people who build monuments.

Ali continues our journey through Ephesians. In chapter 4 we shift gears from what we have been freely given in Christ to how we are called to live out our faith and hope in Him. We have to know where we sit before we walk. WALK THIS WAY … unity in diversity.

Paul helps us continue our journey through Ephesians as we celebrate communion together

Paul explores Ephesians chapter 2 where we see that the human condition has only two states, DEAD or ALIVE. We are reminded that we are saved by GRACE ALONE and that as a follower of Jesus we are simply called to be ‘one beggar showing another beggar where to find bread'.

Ali kicks off our new series ‘WALK THIS WAY', beginning our journey through the fully-loaded book of Ephesians. He helps us dive into chapter 1 and see Paul's amazing outburst of praise that reminds us that, in Jesus, we are CHOSEN, PURCHASED and SEALED by God for His glory!

Paul follows up on Jesus' final teaching to His disciples: ‘REMAIN IN ME'. We take a practical look at the realities and obstacles that hinder us from making quality time with God and are challenged to take the 40 day Lent period to Pause, Reflect, Ask and Yield.

Paul helps us explore the final ‘I AM' statement of Jesus: “I am the vine…”, which is one of the last things Jesus passed on to His disciples before His arrest and crucifixion. We learn that as followers of Jesus we need to expect PRUNING, that our call is to REMAIN in Him, while God's job is the fruit and, most importantly, that God's posture toward us is LOVE!

Doug explores some biblical principles about how God is calling us to use our money for His Glory. We see that giving should be a natural part of our Christian walk and should come from a heart of appreciation. Jesus soberingly taught that, “where your treasure is, there your heart will be also”.

Ali looks at the remedy for a troubled heart through the counsel of Jesus in John 14. We see that Jesus commanded His disciples to trust in Him, reminding them that He is the way and the truth and the life.

Paul helps us explore the reality of Jesus being “the resurrection and the life”. We see that having this eternal perspective can give us greater purpose in life and help us see God's glory even through tragedy.

Ali helped us reflect on the past year and to look ahead to 2022 with growing expectation for knowing Jesus and making Him known.

Paul helps us see how God used two of the key characters in the Christmas story despite their apparent unsuitability for their role.

Paul helps us relook at that incredible, but maybe too familiar, picture of Jesus as the Good Shepherd. Does it still amaze you that the God who created the universe and knows you to the core, laid down His life for you? Do you know him?

Charlie reminds us that Jesus wept, and pointed us to a God who is compassionate and who values connection and relationship.

Ali helps us consider what Jesus implied when He declared “I am the door” in John 10:7-10
