The essential ingredient
Listen as John encourages his readers to keep Jesus at the centre of their faith.
Fleeting pleasures
Listen as John warns his readers about some of the things that can lead us off course as we travel through the Christian life.
Part of the family
Tonight John answers the question, “How do we know that we are part of God’s family?”
Exposed!
Listen as our hearts (and some of the lies we might tell ourselves) are exposed by the God who is light.
This we proclaim
Tonight we begin our journey through the letter of 1 John. Listen as John reminds us of the content, the reliability and the effect of the message about which he is so passionate.
Being blessed
Listen as we consider how we can be blessed by God even though we have hearts which are prone to turning away from him.
Christmas Miracles
Listen as we consider two great miracles that we can celebrate at Christmas.
Jesus is the Light
Listen as we marvel at God’s gift of light, given to us who were lost in darkness.
Jesus is the King
Listen as we see why Jesus is a King worth serving. How will you respond to the King?
Jesus is Immanuel
The Christmas story reminds us that Jesus is Immanuel, God with us. Listen as we consider the implications of this reality for our lives.
The greatest treasure
Is there a treasure so valuable that it is worth us giving up everything to gain it? Jesus says “Yes!” The kingdom of heaven is a treasure of incalculable value. The question for us is not how valuable the kingdom is, but whether we are willing to give up everything to gain it.
Blessing blockers
Israel is guilty of robbing God in the giving of their tithes and offerings. Their disobedience is preventing them from receiving the blessings that God has in store for them. God calls his people to return and sets before them a challenge – do they trust God enough to give him what they should? Do we?
