The finale to the series on the great birth stories of the Bible.
The last message in our series in 1 Kings. Ahab’s biggest problem was a hearing problem - it could be your biggest problem too… See what you make of it! Listen below.
Penultimate message in the 1 Kings series… ‘After the Great King.’
We come to the final few chapters of 1 Kings. The book started with attention on a great king and his successes and it ends with a focus on an evil king and his failures.
Learning how to face failure from how the Lord responds to Elijah in the face of failure.
The next instalment of our 1 Kings series sees Elijah’s ministry return to the public sphere in order to move the people from doubt to confidence.
Next message in our Series… After the Great King. Now Elijah arrives and the question is… is he for real? Has hope arrived with this supposed prophet? Is the word of the Lord really with him?
After Jeroboam introducing idolatry to the new northern kingdom of Israel. What will happen down South? What will happen down the generations? And as idolatry spreads, where is the Lord in an idol infested world?
The beginning of a new series in 1 Kings.
The final pleas and encouragements to the church in Corinth.
The Corinthians seem ungrateful, disobedient and quarrelsome.
Things we are painfully vulnerable to too.
Here is Paul's final plea to the church:
1. Test the external (12:11-21)
Spoilt children - who is at fault? (12:11-13)
True Gospel Ministry spends like parents (12:14-18).
True Gospel Ministry takes responsibility like parents (12:19-21)
2. Test the internal (13:1-10)
A court summons (13:1-4)
Seeking restoration (13:5-10)
3. Final Encouragements (13:11-14)
Paul’s last argument against the false teaching super apostles is to adopt their own style. Paul will fight fire with fire… He will play them at their own game. He will become a fool to save the church from even greater fools. If your tendency is to love displays of human power and human credentials, here you will get your heart set straight as we see that God’s power is at work in weakness.
What do you put up with? What do you tolerate? Can you hear Paul out as his ministry looks so embaressing, his behaviour seems so offensive and all he ever talks about is false teachers!!!
Oli returns to a series in 2 Corinthians: Real Ministry!
The last in our series in the Psalms of Ascents. Finally the pilgrims reach their end destination. From exile to Zion…. the very temple courts of God himself. Their journey has mirrored ours from this world to heaven. What do we find at journeys end? Come and consider this Psalm with us.
We near the end of the Psalms of Ascents. Oli takes us through Psalm 133 to notice what we need to know in order to see and savour our unity in the church.
A return to our series in the Psalms of Ascent… ‘A Long Obedience in the Same Direction’
What we need for the now and and not yet - what we need to know about the timing of the return of the Lord!
What we need for the now and not yet - How Christians can grieve with hope!
Last talk in a series on the Psalms of Ascent we will come back to the last three Psalms a little down the road.
Next in our series on the Psalms of Ascent
