2026-02-15 A Church Centred on the Gospel by Pathway Baptist Church

~~~~~~~ No 4 in the series - The Epistles of Peter. ~~~~~~~ **Considering 1 Peter 1:10-12** Of which salvation the prophets have enquired and searched diligently, ...... which things the angels desire to look into. *1/ A salvation prophesied by the Prophets. 2/ A salvation centring in the Cross. 3/ A salvation preached with the Holy Ghost. 4/ A salvation looked into by angels.* **Sermon Summary:** The sermon presents a profound meditation on the nature and significance of salvation, emphasizing its divine origin, historical depth, and eternal importance. Centred on 1 Peter 1:10–12, it unfolds the truth that salvation is not a mere human idea but a grand, preordained plan of grace revealed through prophets, fulfilled in Christ's atoning sacrifice, and proclaimed by the Holy Spirit. The message highlights how the prophets, though living in shadow and type, diligently searched the Scriptures, longing to understand the coming Messiah, whose sufferings and glory were foretold. Salvation is shown to be rooted in the cross—where God's justice and mercy meet—and is not of human making but of divine power, made effective through the Holy Spirit's work in preaching and regeneration. Even angels, though not in need of salvation, are deeply interested in its unfolding, underscoring its cosmic significance. The sermon calls believers to cherish this salvation as a matter of immense spiritual value, not as a passing notion, but as a divine reality that has been centuries in preparation, personally experienced through grace, and eternally secured by Christ's work.

AI is moving fast. Faster than most organisations and people can emotionally keep up with.In this special episode of Get Out of Wrap TV, I'm joined by Kathryn Simmons Porter, founder of Flourish, to explore what she calls “The Trust Paradox” – the growing tension between rapid AI adoption and the human emotions it triggers inside contact centres.We talk openly about:Why AI isn't replacing people – but changing themThe emotional responses agents experience when AI is introduced known as AI griefWhy trust, transparency and purpose matter more than everHow emotional intelligence (EQ) is becoming a core business capability, not a “soft skill”The real cost of absenteeism, disengagement and poorly handled AI rolloutsWhy leaders must focus on people readiness, not just tech readinessKathryn brings nearly 30 years of contact centre experience and a deep understanding of emotional intelligence, blending practical insight with real-world examples including how AI has personally impacted her own family.If you're responsible for CX, EX, contact centre strategy or AI transformation, this conversation will challenge how you think about success in the age of automation.

This week on Veterinary Ramblings, Julian Hoad and Mike Brampton are joined by Dr Polly Taylor to discuss veterinary ethics and the limits of modern medicine. Centred on the idea that “just because we can doesn't mean we should,” the conversation explores difficult treatment decisions, experimental procedures, defensive medicine, and the moral injury vets face in practice. They also reflect on the importance of strong clinical judgement, the pressures on veterinary education, and concerns around the future of Cambridge Vet School. The episode ends with “60 Second CPD,” where Polly shares essential anaesthesia advice, focusing on the basics: airway, breathing, and circulation. ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

Message from John Harris on 1 February 2026

“It's All About The Gospel: Gospel-Centred Worldview” by Revd Alvin Toh, 1 Feb 2026 Sunday HC Service

The queen is the most powerful player on a chessboard – a queen can move anywhere - just like HR. Ewen shares why HR practitioners need to stop staying in their square and start thinking like a queen on a chessboard.   He explores how meaningful change comes through sustained commitment to human-centred approaches and shares the example of The Havas Platform, demonstrating how HR can create impact both within organisations and society.   Ewen champions transparency as foundational to trust and equity and discusses his approach to reward, including opportunities to personalise pay and benefits according to need. Framing reward as an opportunity to target support, he emphasises that social impact isn't only external and reminds us that employees may be experiencing the same issues that we see in society.  Encouraging you to "be a queen", Ewen's wish is for everyone in HR to appreciate how powerful your position is, and use that power to drive positive change.    How is AI really playing out? Slalom's new research Thank you to Slalom for sponsoring this week's podcast episode.  If you're an HR leader navigating AI and wondering how to move from ambition to adoption, Slalom's latest research offers practical insights you can use right away.

This is the first of a series of four podcasts (and associated blogs) about how we can integrate more physical activity across the NHS and what key actions health and care professionals can do to support the strategic shift from ‘Sickness to Prevention' and from ‘Hospital to Community'. The first podcast kicks off with an introductory episode, by Sarah Price, Director of Public Health for NHS England and Sasha Karikusevic, Director, NHS Horizons, who outline how we can harness the true potential of physical activity across the NHS to help to prevent ill-health and help people to live healthier, longer, and more independent lives, with best-practice examples across England to illustrate the benefits. A full transcript of this episode is available on our website - https://www.england.nhs.uk/long-read/four-ways-forward-podcast/ Please get in touch if you have any questions regarding this episode - england.medicalcomms@nhs.net

I'm joined today by Professor Viviane Robinson, one of the most influential thinkers in educational leadership. This is the second time that I have the privilege of speaking with her. Viviane is the author of Student-Centred Leadership, a book that has quietly but powerfully reshaped how school leaders around the world think about their work. At its heart is a deceptively simple question: What leaders do, day to day, that genuinely makes a difference to students. In this upcoming conversation, we explore what student-centred leadership really demands in practice. Not the slogans or surface-level frameworks, but the hard choices, the relational work, and the moments where leaders have to keep learning at the centre, even when the pressure is on. We discuss trust, instructional leadership, goal setting, and why well-intentioned leaders can sometimes stray from the very students they aim to serve. It's a thoughtful, challenging, and deeply practical conversation for anyone leading in schools or considering a leadership role. One to sit with, reflect on, and return to as you think about impact and purpose in your own leadership work.

Dominic is joined again by the inimitable Dr. Lydia Craig where they dive into Dickens' third Christmas Book, with readings from the award-winning actress Penelope RawlinsThe Cricket On The Hearth - published 180 years ago this year - explodes into life from the very start and hardly pauses for breath until the very end. Its unrelenting pace sweeps its characters along whether they be human, animal, insect or household object … Centred around that fabled victorian fireside. Where dreams and visions appear happy in the glowing light but depressed in the shadows, there sits John Peerybingle with his pipe. His occupation as a carrier brings one of the many Christmassy elements to the book, in his daily round of delivering parcels out in the raw Winter weather. His wife Dot - as in the brightest little star that ever shone - is a young, energetic woman, who races about their home.Another Christmassy element in this story is the occupation of Toy-making. Enter Caleb Plummer and his blind daughter Bertha who make Dolls for the nasty, crab-faced Tackleton.And tearing in and out is the excited dog, Boxer seen as a spec in the distance one moment, then suddenly up close with his wet nose pressed into your face …Last but not least, is the magical Cricket ...HAPPY CHRISTMAS !!!Intro Music and Additional SFX provided under license by Epidemic Sound Support the showIf you'd like to make a donation to support the costs of producing this series you can buy 'coffees' right here https://www.buymeacoffee.com/dominicgerrardThank you so much!Host: Dominic GerrardSeries Artwork: Léna GibertOriginal Music: Dominic GerrardThank you for listening!

Graham Cunnington & Paul Jamrozy in conversation with David Eastaugh  https://testdept.bandcamp.com/album/industrial-overture Formed in London in the early 1980s, Test Dept are regarded as one of the pioneering forces of ‘industrial music', recognised for their groundbreaking sound and powerful performances that pushed the boundaries of music, art and protest while exploring political and social issues. Centred around the founding duo of Paul Jamrozy and Gray Cunnington since resurfacing in the mid-2010s, the group recently signed to the Artoffact label and have just issued the first in a series of carefully curated box sets that will chronicle their career. ‘Industrial Overture. Studio & Live Recordings 1982-1985' consists of 42 tracks across 4 CDs and also available digitally. It includes a first ever reissue of the group's 1983 cassette-only debut album ‘Strength Of Metal In Motion', the classic ‘Ecstasy Under Duress' and ‘Atonal & Hamburg' albums (both unavailable for over three decades), plus a disc of hitherto unreleased studio recordings that incorporate two sessions recorded for the John Peel show on BBC Radio 1.

'The research shows that it's stories that are the most powerful mobilizers of change.' What does 'story' mean to you? Zoe Arden asked that question of more than 100 people, beginning her research, as she encourages us all to begin our stories, by listening first.  Leaders have at their disposal more facts and data than ever before, but the research and our lived experience confirms that facts and data are not what we need to catalyse real change. Our brains are wired in such a way that only stories have the power to mobilise us into action - they are, in Zoë's words, both levers of connection and levers of change, so understanding how they work is vital for any leader who wants to gets stuff done.   But stories aren't just for telling, they're for living - and we need to make choices about the stories we tell ourselves, more or less consciously, just as much as the ones we craft for others.  Zoë's own story of finding her voice as a writer amongst the many voices of her interviewees will be invaluable if you're drowning in reseach, and her remarkable journey to publication might just be the inspiration you need to get started... 

Zoë Arden works at the intersection of leadership and storytelling. She joins Bobby to discuss her new book ‘Story-Centred Leadership: Crafting Cultures of Change'.

In this episode, Professor Roddy Brett, Professor of Peace and Conflict Studies and Director of the Global Insecurities Centre at the University of Bristol, joins Dr Nafees Hamid, Co-PI of the XCEPT research programme, to discuss his new book, ‘Victim-Centred Peacemaking: Colombia's Santos-FARC-EP Peace Process'. Professor Brett reveals how the victims' delegations changed the dynamics of the Santos-FARC-EP peace process, transforming victim-perpetrator relations and ultimately shaping the final agreement, which was signed in 2016. At a time when the number of civilian casualties in armed conflict is rising around the world, the Santos-FARC example offers valuable insights into how to effectively involve victims in peacemaking. Professor Brett's book is available from Bristol University Press: https://bristoluniversitypress.co.uk/victim-centred-peacemaking This episode has been produced as part of the Cross-Border Conflict Evidence, Policy and Trends (XCEPT) programme, which is funded by UK International Development from the UK government; however, the views expressed do not necessarily reflect the UK government's official policies. XCEPT aims to understand the drivers of violent and peaceful behaviour in conflict-affected populations – and to find solutions that support peace. Find out more at www.xcept-research.org

pecial Episode — Recorded live at the Oppenheimer Research Conference 2025. How do we build conservation models that work for both people and nature? In this eye-opening conversation, Lessah Mandoloma (Oxford) and Katie Mackenzie (Jamma Conservation & Communities) unpack the principles of human-centred conservation—a framework that challenges siloed thinking, brings communities into decision-making, and addresses the real trade-offs that shape conservation outcomes. They explore: • Why conservation must start with honest conversations about power, rights, and benefits • How to break silos between health, climate, food systems and biodiversity • Why communities must be treated as partners, not passive beneficiaries • The importance of co-defining goals and returning research findings to communities A hopeful and practical roadmap for conservation that recognises humanity as part of nature—not outside of it.

What am I devoted to? First, God is devoted to us. So how does believing in Christ change the way we live and what we devote ourselves to? Paul points to three things worthy of our devotion: Prayer - our invitation to communion with God himself; Sharing Christ with others; Showing care for one another.

We are assured of forgiveness, however we look for growth as a Christian in the struggle of ongoing sin. In these verses Paul gives a list, but the aim is not behavioural modification but a new self, a new identity. We are to look up to the Lord Jesus Christ, the resurrected Christ, seated in the place of honour. And we are raised with him. And we keep looking up to him.

Paul is sounding the alarm about the Colossians being deceived by new ideas about adding to the gospel. Certain practices, food, festivals, self-denial, forms of worship, were being promoted and blended into the church, but Paul exposes and calls them out. Paul brings them back to Jesus - we are made complete through him and he is the fullness of God, nothing extra needed, no "Jesus plus". So what do we listen to? Rules that are only shadows of reality? Jesus Christ himself is that reality.

We are rooted in Christ – that is a fact – so how then do we live? We are to allow Jesus to be Lord over all aspects of our lives. We are to build each other up so that we might all become mature in our faith. We are to overflow with thankfulness, both towards God and towards each other.

Jesus shows us God, as he is the image of the invisible God, and in his humanity he shows us ourselves. But what about the many ways in our culture that people seek to deal with their needs? For Christians it really is "all the eggs in one basket". Jesus is supreme. We belong to him, his name is written on our soul and we find peace when we acknowledge him. So are we as completely centred on Jesus, as he is the centre of all things? We have an invitation to be free from all accusation, dearly loved, and to grow into our identity and all the blessings that come with it.

Our identity is given by God, not others or even ourselves. This identity is a gift from God because he loves us, and that our activity is a response, shaped by our identity. So, whatever our activity, we are encouraged to work at it from a place of peace, security and understanding; being reminded of who God is and what he has done in our lives.
