 |
The Cross - Something incredible happened at the cross, but what exactly? What difference does it make to me? Why should I care?. |
 |
Love Exposed - In Love Exposed we turned the spotlight on love - real, passionate, uncompromising love - as we study the life that exposed the truth about love itself. |
 |
The Unexpected - Most of life is made up of the familiar. We have plans and routines and usually things turn out the way we expect. Then, suddenly, often without warning, something totally unexpected happens. |
 |
iRelate - It’s not what we are, or where we’ve been or even what we’ve done that brings life. It’s knowing Him, and out of that knowing Him we are to know others. We were made in His image to relate. Firstly to Him, and then to everyone else. The life He gives, we share. It’s all relationship. |
 |
Building Community - In the New Testament we find so many different analogies and pictures for the church. The Body, the priesthood of all believers, a flock, a family to name but a few. We are also introduced early in the book of Acts to the believers becoming a vibrant, active, prayerful, worship-filled community who not only loved Jesus but watched each other’s backs. |
 |
Live it! - Paul's letter to Ephesians, placed in the heart of the New Testament for us as a call to Live it! in our day and where we are. It’s our invitation to become part of a missional movement of our own. |
 |
Heaven & Hell - Now is but for a moment; eternity awaits...but what is it and what will it be like? If I believe in heaven, do I have to believe in hell? And of course, who goes where? |
 |
Following Jesus - When Jesus called his first disciples to follow him they knew exactly what he meant. He was calling them to learn all that he taught in order that they might do all that he did and so become all that he was. That’s what it meant to follow. And that’s the discipleship to which we too are called. |

 |
Challenge Christmas - At the first Christmas God handed out several challenge cards to the human players in the story: Mary, a teenage peasant girl; Joseph, an apprentice carpenter; some country boys watching sheep; a few city slickers from abroad; and a tyrant king called Herod. At first glance these challenges seemed dafter than Top Gear’s. They were certainly more demanding and dangerous for all of them. (Christmas 2009) |
 |
Believe it! - Beginning in Genesis and ending in Revelation this series explores the big truths about God that the Bible presents.

High Impact Church - The amazing story that begins with a group of bewildered followers who started to pray. Within ten days, thousands, literally thousands, are coming to faith – over a hundred each day. Could we live as radically at the early church did? Could we see people coming to faith in great numbers? Do we believe that God can do in us what He did with those first disciples? Could we too be a High Impact Church? (New Year 2009) |
 |
Christmas Presence - the presence of Jesus that is life changing and everlasting is often overlooked at Christmas, at the very time of year when he ought to be in the forefront of our minds. (Christmas 2008) |
 |
Heaven's Ten - Thirty centuries ago, God gave us ten simple phrases, totalling little more than three hundred words in English, God gave us the secret of “living well.” Whilst so much has changed since then, the secret to living hasn’t. Discover that this ancient code has as much as ever to say to our longings for life and prosperity. (Autumn 2008) |
 |
Just Jesus - Are we in danger of making Jesus become more like us? Have we created Jesus in our image: safe, middle-of-the-road, comfortable? His authorised biographies tell a very different story, they speak of Jesus as passionate, confrontational, exclusive, even extreme. (April to July 2008) |

 |
Your Story, My Story, His Story - For many the real story of their lives is marked by disappointment, fear and a general confusion about what life is really all about. In contrast, God’s story is one of love for this hurting, broken world, a story of his coming to rescue us, to bring us hope for now and the future. How then do we help people discover God’s story? The answer: our story. (New Year 2008) |
 |
ChRISKmas - the Christmas risk - God took an incredible risk in leaving heaven to come to earth. It was His great risk that caused those caught up in the story to take risks of their own in order to get involved in what God was doing. It’s that same risk – The Christmas risk – that we too are called to make. To leave the comfort of our “heaven” and get involved with what God’s doing in the world today. (Christmas 2007) |
 |

 |
The Shepherd's Detox - People pay a fortune to spend a few days away at an exclusive spa resort where a body detox is an essential part of the treatment offered. But what about a detox for the soul? This is exactly what Psalm 23 offers us. (Summer 2007) |
