Of course Jesus prayed but wait a minute…why did He pray? Chris explores why and what Jesus prayed for, and seeks a response in the light of that.
Daniel’s prayer life is thrilling to read but what does it have to teach us about our prayer? Chris invites us to join Daniel in confessing and interceding in line with God’s promises.
Simon Bailey preaches on 1 Thessalonians Chapter 1, reminding us that faithful prayer bears fruit and that God is already at work preparing hearts to respond to Him.
“I will pour water on those who are thirsty and flood the dry ground.”
Peter Finnis preaches on Matthew 11 vs 28 – 12 vs 14 and Jesus’ attitude towards the Sabbath.
In contrast to the Old Testament Sabbath and the views of the Pharisees, we learn that Sabbath rest is wholeness and well-being in our whole lives, to be found only in Jesus when we walk alongside Him. Sabbath rest for the people of God is to submit our efforts and our work to Him – to enter God’s rest in order to rest from our own work.
Our lives surrendered to Christ brings rest and what follows is Christ’s work in us.
“Our hearts are restless until they find their rest in God”
Chris continues the series on prayer by looking at David’s prayer life. David’s extensive and varied prayer life causes us to examine our own and ask if we always prayer with our whole heart. If we don’t, then perhaps we don’t recognise our desperate need of God or that God is trustworthy.
The disciples ask Jesus to teach them to pray. Jesus taught them how to pray and how not to pray. Prayer then is something that can and must be learnt. In this series Chris examines the prayer lives of some of the most effective prayers in Scripture and asks what we can learn. The series begins with Moses from whom we learn how to ensure the work we do for the LORD lasts.
In our Easter Service which included a baptism Chris explores the connection between God’s love for us and His command that we love each other.
As part of an All Age Palm Sunday service Chris invites us to consider who we are in the Palm Sunday story and highlights Jesus’ invitation to become friends who know His business.
Chris summarises our current series, applies our year text Col 2:6-7 and invites us to identify where we are being fruitful.
Having explored the different ways in which we can live out our calling as envoys of God’s coming Kingdom this week Chris focuses on the most direct means of sharing the mystery of Christ: Proclaiming it. He highlights that even Apostles need prayer to do this yet every believer is to act wisely and take every opportunity to make known the mystery of Christ.
