John's Gospel

This ten-week series will cover the first eleven chapters of John’s Gospel. The series has been divided up using the structure of journeys that the Lord Jesus takes to Jerusalem and back to Galilee in the Gospel.

Genesis

The first eleven chapters in Genesis contain the seeds of many of the key concepts of God’s grand plan of salvation: e.g. creation, purpose of mankind, sin, judgement and salvation. These concepts are fully revealed in the New Testament, especially in Revelation. Underpinning all of these is God’s constant desire to bless the nations and overcome the curse brought about by sin. In a world which often dismisses Genesis as myth, we wish to give believers confidence in the importance and relevance of these chapters in Genesis.

Our Confidence

The central aim of this series is to engender a sense of quiet confidence among God’s people, even as we move into a post-Christian culture. The bewildering pace of change in our society has led a number of Christians to become despondent or fearful. The aim of this opening series is to replace fear and depression with quiet confidence and a loving attitude to those we work and live beside.

A Better Story

This series will take a slightly different tack from the usual “defensive” apologetics series. Instead of defending the Biblical positions on various topics, this series will paint the positive and sane vision which the Bible describes for life – for living meaningful lives, having healthy relationships, and living as citizens in a well-ordered, peaceful, society.

Young People - Big Impact

Often the key players in the drama of the Bible story are not the most obvious in the worlds terms. God often chooses young and inexperienced people to play a significant part in the unfolding story. There are important and encouraging lessons we can learn from their lives as we look at the type of people God can and will use.
