What do you really really want? For Paul, one of his greatest desires was to know Jesus. And we can know Jesus because of the presence of the Holy Spirit in us.

What does joy look like? On Sunday we did something a bit different and split into three 'zones' - one exploring the theme of joy through discussion, one through reflection and writing, and one through doing and making. In this audio we going to join the makers and doers (because that's where the camera was). How can we know joy even when our circumstances are not good?

What kind of god is God? Joel wants the people to know that God is the kind of God who forgives and is waiting for us to return to him. So, what does true repentance look like?

In spite of their sin and rebellion God still loves his people deeply and wants them to repent so that he can bless them. God loves us deeply too.

Within his culture, no one would have expected Hosea to act the way he did towards his wife - yet this is a picture of God's love and faithfulness towards his unfaithful people and towards us.

Join us as Matt Phillips from the Papworth Team of Churches unpacks this theme of 'no spare parts' at our West of Cambridge Churches Joint Service. God invites us all to be a part of the church and we therefore all have a role to play.

How do we respond to God's warnings? Are we tempted to brush them off, ignore them, make excuses? How did God's people respond to the prophet Zephaniah and what does this have to say to us today?

How can the words of an Old Testament prophet (Nahum) have anything to say into a world that is threatened with AI?

For many of us September is much more of a new beginning than January is. Starting school for the first time, moving to a new school year, moving up to secondary school, moving on to university. So we are going to be marking that in our all age service - reminding ourselves of God's faithfulness and therefore we are able to put our trust in God for the future.

If you've ever read the first few books of the Old Testament you may have noticed just how many animals are killed in the various required sacrifices and how much blood there is. If you're used to living in the UK and getting your meat neatly packaged from the supermarket this might not be a pleasant thought. If you've lived in other parts of the world it might not seem so out of place. But why so much focus on blood? And how does this help us when we start to think about what the New Testament says about Jesus' death on the cross?
