Sunday Evening
What is love?
Listen as John shows us what it looks like to truly love one another.
Greg Beaumont: Motivations to fight sin
The fight against sin in the Christian life is incredibly difficult. In this passage, John points out three objective realities to help motivate his readers to fight hard against sin. But not only this, John uses these objective realities to show that for a Christian, a life of ongoing sin is simply incompatible and that they should not be deceived by anyone who tells them different!
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.
Andrew Prince: God owes you no favours
Christians are to obey everything God has commanded in Scripture, and yet when they do they are simply doing their duty rather than something particularly commendable or worthy of reward.
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.
David Lamont: Is life fair? Is God fair?
Jesus is confronted with unjust suffering and death caused by an evil tyrant. He addresses unjust suffering and death caused not just by people, but by natural disasters, and then issues a surprising challenge and gives a parable that illustrates the real issues from a divine perspective.
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.
Greg Beaumont: Comfort in suffering
Suffering is really hard! But one of the challenges that can face Christian’s when suffering happens is their expectations. Should Christians expect suffering in their life? The Scriptures give a resounding ‘yes’! But even if our expectations are right, suffering is still difficult and painful and causes us at times to doubt God’s love, sovereignty and justice. In tonight’s passage our expectations of suffering are affirmed but we are also comforted by Paul as he gives purpose to the Christian’s suffering, affirms God’s justice in suffering, and points us to how the name of Jesus is glorified in our patient endurance of suffering.
Jesus is the Light
Listen as we marvel at God’s gift of light, given to us who were lost in darkness.
