Ever Wonder Why Family Can Hurt and Heal?

Family is complicated and unique, but as different as our families and our family situations are, there is something that is true for everyone, even if you have no belief in God at all.
Speaker: Laura Hancock

Ever Wonder 'Why Did God Let It Happen?'

‘God is good (all the time) and all the time (God is good)’ - Ever doubted that? There is so much evil, suffering and pain in the world… Children, wars, famine, disasters; then the really big things - pot holes, middle lane drivers, roadworks, no WIFI! It's funny how many don’t believe there is a God, but when asked why, they say it's because of all the evil, suffering and pain in the world; blaming the one they say doesn’t exist! This question puts us all on the same page, and for many, more than theory.
Speaker: Leon Evans

A Tension to Manage

We can all agree that our world is full of problems. Sometimes a problem can be solved really easily... for instance, a leak in the bathroom - You find the leak, fix it, problem solved. Problems are binary - but our world isn’t. We think our world is full of problems, but it’s actually full of tensions.
Speaker: Andy Hancock

Have I Got News For You

Anyone ever come to you and said, “You want the good news or the bad news?” We know how it feels to get good and bad news. Only the bad news and fake news seem to hit the headlines - with occasional good news. We want tell you about a man who had such good news he traveled an 'un-traveleable' distance just to tell us about it.
Speaker: Mark Greenwood

Seeing Jesus

What do you see when you think about Jesus? What is the picture in your imagination? When we talk about SEEING JESUS is this what we mean? Seeing Jesus is not seeing what He looks like, but it's seeing who He is. For that, we need faith.
Speaker: Stuart Blount

The Power of Momentum

Momentum is a moving force that overcomes resistance. Thoughts have momentum, behaviours have momentum, relationships have momentum. Sometimes everything seems to be working great and life is on a roll. Sometimes nothing seems to be working —it never rains but it pours! = MOMENTUM. Which elements of momentum is God most drawn to?
Speaker: Leon Evans

I Choose - Important over the Urgent

"If only I had more time..." —Ever said that? Could we watch more box sets? We binge! That dopamine hit gives us a high for a time but let’s be honest, how many of us really, truthfully could say we feel more rested, energised, peaceful or optimistic?!! Then there’s life... "How are you doing?" Response... "busy". You and I have time for what we choose to have time for. The choice we often have before us is to choose the Important over the Urgent.

I Choose - Surrender over Control

Why is it so difficult for us to trust these days? We want control, but the more we control the more we’re afraid of losing control, and the more we’re afraid, the more we try to control - a cycle of fear! What do we need to surrender today to make a better choice tomorrow?
