Weekly Refill - Ready to Reason

In our latest sermon from Zechariah, Anando unpacks for us God's prophetic word in Zechariah 9:9-17. A message of hope and not despair on Remembrance Sunday. 

In this sermon from Zechariah 8, Mark Murthen looks at what happens when God speaks to restore his people.

Paul engaged with the hardest of sceptics in his day.  He said they'd domesticated their gods, but that the living God was closer than they dared to imagine...

Here's a bold one - Paul says that the cleverest people of his day were actually 'ignorant', and that the newest Christian has something important to say...

You and I aren’t likely to get invitations to the same kind of high-stakes conversations as Paul, but we can find ourselves suddenly asked to explain what we believe and why, and feel the same  emotions. Mouth dry. Palms sweaty. Heart racing.We can learn from how Paul had prepared, and how God had prepared him, for that moment. Dive into that, and God will prepare you for your moment, too.

Chris Green takes us through Zechariah 6:1-15 

Chris's weekly thought - I wonder if you’ve ever had that feeling when someone says that they don’t believe in God, and they lay out why, that you think - well you’ve just described a god I don’t believe in either.  You’ve said it’s silly to believe in an old man sitting on a cloud.  I’m right there with you.  You’ve said you don’t believe in a heavenly Father Christmas who just answers our prayers, however selfish.  Yup, nor do I.

This week we think about how need to think clearly about current issues from a Christian perspective - just how Paul showed us.

Chris watches Grand Designs - and discovers that an old debate in the bible is still raging...

Mark Murthen takes us through Zechariah 3 as we think about our need for a perfect and pure High Priest.
