Episode Notes Ian Ashby and Gareth Forsey share the theme and focus for our church this Fall in our Sunday gatherings and community groups.
Episode Notes Story about John Newton, author of the Hymn, Amazing Grace. Newton's adopted niece, Elizabeth, known as Betsy, was committed to the notorious Royal Bethlem Hospital in London, also known as 'bedlam'. Ian Ashby tells the story of what happened. This story is one of many you will hear on the Christian Heritage Tours run by Ben Virgo in London.
Episode Notes .John Lanferman talks about us being empowered to be Christ's witnesses.
Episode Notes What does it mean to be filled with the Spirit? Why is it important? How can I be filled? The Holy Spirit is like rain. Sometimes his presence is like mist, or a gentle shower. Sometimes it is a deluge and you get truly 'drookit'. But the purpose is the same - to saturate us with the presence of God. This is the third message on Pentecost and the tenth and final message in our Legacy Series.
Episode Notes How can we enjoy intimacy with God the Father and experience his love? Even better than being made right with God, is our spiritual adoption by him, and at Pentecost he sent his Spirit so that we might experience it.
Episode Notes As the new temple of God, we have value, purpose and a destiny. The Spirit coming at Pentecost means that God's people, individually and corporately, are now the place where heaven and earth meet.

Episode Notes The Ascension: Where is Jesus right now, and what is he doing? Why does evil and suffering exist in the world if Jesus is Lord? When did you last hear a message on the Ascension? It is seeing the Ascended Christ, as King and Priest, that enables us to face the world with peace in our hearts.
Episode Notes In this message, Brittany looks at the essence of life, what it means to experience abundant life in Christ, and how we can discover our truest selves. She answers the question, what is eternal life?
Episode Notes Continuing in our Legacy series, we look at how believing in a future resurrection should affect how we live our lives in the present. Answering questions like: Does our work matter? And should we bother taking care of the environment if the earth is going to be destroyed one day?
Episode Notes Looking at the legacy of Christ's resurrection for all who belong to him. Answering questions like, 'will I go to heaven when I die?', 'Does it matter if we are buried or cremated?', 'Will I see my beloved pet in the afterlife?'
Episode Notes We often underestimate the reality of evil powers in our world and the gravity of sin. These forces of darkness hold us captive and are empowered by our actions. But the good news that we hear in this message is that Christ came to set us free. He triumphed over these powers through the cross. In which case, why is death and evil still part of our human experience?
Episode Notes Many people today are facing an identity crisis. They want to know, ‘who am I' and 'do I matter'. The doctrine of recapitulation tells us that we are part of a much bigger story, that gives our lives meaning and purpose and a new script to live by. It's a story in which Christ has the last word.
Episode Notes What will bring peace to a world in constant turmoil? What is God's antidote to all the hostility? Reconciliation. And it is found in Christ and his cross.
Episode Notes Depressed? Drifting? Running away? Know that you are not the only one. And you are not alone - God loves you and will not let you go. This is our seventh message on Elijah. From 1 Kings 19: 1-18, where it's the gentle whisper of God that draws a downcast Elijah out of his cave.
Episode Notes 1 Kings 18:41-46. In our sixth message on Elijah, we look at the inherent power of prayer, and why we should pray and not give up.
