Message from David Blackman on June 23, 2024

(Mark 2:13-17)

(Mark 2:1-12)

Today as Megan picks up our Gospel of Mark series again, we encounter a story about the healing of a paralytic man. While this is what we often recognise this story as being about, it is also an example of Jesus demonstrating a powerful model for everyday mission where He focuses on the things that are truly important.

Join us as Megan unpacks the model and it's application for us.

(Romans 7:1-8:15)

Today Gavin picks up our series on the Deep Truths found in Romans with a long, and what can be a very confusing chapter. Here Paul is speaking to the Jewish believers in Rome and unpacking the nature of a conflict that is at work within us, between our spiritual selves and our flesh selves.

Join us as Gavin unpacks some of the challenges that come from this chapter, as well as what timeless truths Paul's words have for us.

(Ruth 1-4)

As we come to the end of our short series on the book of Ruth and the lessons of generosity within, we come to the character of Naomi. Naomi is the emptied giver, someone who has been through so much she feels she is empty, a condition many of us can relate to.

Yet the book of Ruth gives us wisdom about what we can do in these circumstances, join us as Iain unpacks 4 questions to ask in these times of emptiness to begin refilling.

(Ruth 2:1-16)

Today we begin a short series based on the book of Ruth. Over 3 messages we will be exploring the characters of Boaz, Ruth and Naomi and the lessons about generosity that we learn.

In this first message, Iain looks at Boaz, the character of generosity and how generosity has always been a core part of the Kingdom of God, but it is more than just obeying a command to be generous.
