Reforming Wonder

It is important for us to keep our perspective on the Sovereign King Jesus.  We are pained to see wicked rulers and governments rise up and persecution impact our brothers and sisters in the Lord.  Yet, God has promised He will have the 'last laugh', their vain imaginings cannot thwart His redemption story.  Let us find our solace there.  Join us as we reflect on the words of Psalm 2 along with Calum Webster.

In today's highly politicised environment, and throughout history, it can often be difficult to identify the lines between church and the state.  Yet, it is not something Scripture is silent on.  Join us as we converse with Callum Webster from the Christian Institute on the importance of keeping and maintaining this distinction, while still being a witness in a dark world.

Usually associated with Christmas time, 'Joy to the World' was written by Isaac Watts as a paraphrase of Psalm 98.  Titled under 'The Messiah's Coming and Kingdom' you can see the Christological interpretation of the Psalm, rejoicing in our Saviour who has come to deliver us.  Join us as we reflect on these lyrics with Simon Turpin from Answers in Genesis.

One of the fundamental Christian truths, that Jesus is God, is a doctrine that has been questioned all throughout history.  Though it is difficult to comprehend, it is a necessary understanding - only God can save, no mere man!  The deity of Christ may not be something you frequently think upon, yet it is a vital truth upon which our very salvation depends.  Join us in conversation with Simon Turpin, from Answers in Genesis, around this often-challenged truth.

As believers we find our confidence in the covering that Christ provides which is illustrated as a 'robe of righteousness' by the prophet Isaiah in chapter 61 of his book.  This is the theme hymn writer Nicolaus Ludwig von Zinzendorf beautifully expands on in his hymn 'Jesus Thy blood and righteousness'.  Join us as we reflect for a short while with Rev David Brown on these uplifting lyrics.

The Gospel of Matthew records a question which is often voiced - what is the most important thing to do?  Jesus' response to this was maybe unexpected, certainly by the Pharisees, as it was not a thing to do but instead a change of perspective.  We are called to a life filled with love for God and our neighbour.  Join us as we discuss these great commandments to love with the Rev David Brown.

The hymn 'From whence this fear and unbelief' was aptly titled 'Faith Reviving' by Augustus Toplady.  As human beings, limited by our fallen nature, we struggle to fully comprehend and understand the cross work of Christ.  And yet, even as we may question it and wonder - it is our faith that revives us - Jesus died for me!   Join us as we reflect on these words with Rev Patrick Baker.

The Lord's final command to His church was "Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature", yet sharing our faith in public can be difficult.  What does it look like, how should we behave and what do we focus on in conversation?  Join us as we chat about street evangelism with Rev Patrick Baker.

Going from a life of great sin in the slave trade, to one of great grace ministering to his congregation, John Newton published 'Faith's Review and Expectation' - a poem of testimony illustrating David's realisation of his sin in 1 Chronicles 17.  This became known as 'Amazing Grace' and has gone on to inspire many people the world over, estimated to be performed 10 million times annually.  Join us as we sit down with the Rev Gary Goodes and meditate on these popular lyrics.

Having grown up with a secular world view, the Rev Gary Goodes had never given God a second thought - until one simple question challenged him to dig a little deeper.  Yet, it isn't his musings or any clever arguments that changed his mind - it was simply the cross.  Join us as we chat about God's saving grace in his life.
