Our growth in faith, love and hope are inextricably linked with the message we believe. You can’t believe the message that God did all that for you and not be changed by it. You can choose not to really believe it or you can be transformed. Those are the only options. To the extent you put our belief in the gospel into action you will grow in faith, love and hope.
Who we are called to be changes what we do. Wherever we find ourselves on a daily basis, it is here that we are called to live out our faith, in the midst of particular relationships and particular duties. It is with these people and these tasks in everyday life that we will find the good works that God has prepared in advance for us to do.
Chris explores how the fruit of the Spirit and our cooperation work together to bring transformation in our lives. He goes on to show that simply by modelling this process we are fulfilling an important part of our calling in Christ. We become the gospel message as we submit to the Lordship of Jesus.
David Quin from AsiaLink visits us to update us on his work and to tell us about Bhutan.
He preaches on John 21, reminding us that it is pointless attempting the Gospel mission without God and without His Holy Spirit within us.
We all have a life on the frontline in the world that’s significant to God. But can we see how God has been working in and through us? Can we imagine what work God might do in and through us on our daily frontlines? Chris introduces a series based on Colossians and seeks to encourage everyone to see God at work in and through them in Christ.
Chris encourages us to build on the foundations of the last year and to move on, thinking about what our vision is for 2017 and to seek God’s purpose for the coming year.
Chris invites us to look back upon the year that has just been with an attitude of thankfulness to God. As we look forward to the coming year he reminds us that whatever happens, good or bad, our thankfulness to God should be rooted in the knowledge that He is God; He is Good; and that we are His.
Trevor Bailey takes us on a journey, reminding us of the awesome power and resources of God; looking at what we have been learning about spiritual gifts and the fruit of the Spirit; and encouraging us to keep our focus on what God is doing and to look forward our future life with him.
