Sin City 5: Understand Hope // Philip Jinadu
What practical difference does having a good theology of resurrection have on our every day lives?
Sin City 4: Worship Well // Martin Riddall
Is it right to put limits on the way we do worship in order to help others? If so, what does that look like?
Sin City 3: Consider Others // Kate Jinadu
Another thing tearing the Corinthian church apart was inconsiderate behaviour between believers. So is it right to change how we act depending on what others believe?
Sin City 2: Live Free // Philip Jinadu
Why is it that the pursuit of sexual freedom is so often the very thing that takes away freedom? What exactly is the standard for the disciple when it comes to sex?
Sin City 1: Come Together // Philip Jinadu
How do you pull things back together when the church gets torn apart by division?
Jesus Eats 5: The Resurrection Supper // Philip Jinadu
Barely has Jesus risen from the dead than he’s sharing a meal with a couple of oblivious disciples. What’s behind this weird story?
Jesus Eats 4: The The Two Sisters // Susanna Raj
Two sisters, two different approaches to faith and intimacy with Jesus. What can we learn from them both and what’s the better way?
Fresh Wave // Rob Scott Cook
A departure from our theme to look at what God is saying to the church this year. What does it mean to expect a Fresh Wave of God's Spirit?
Jesus Eats 2: The Pharisee's Dinner Party // Lex Macleod
Jesus loved to eat with people, even when they didn’t agree with him. Throw in an uninvited guest or two and things escalated fast.
Jesus Eats 1: The Wedding Bash // Philip Jinadu
Jesus’ first miracle happened at a dinner party. But what does it tell us about his mission and the Kingdom of God?
Children Citizens // Dave Mitchell
We're children of God and that's where our identity comes from. But what does it mean to also be citizens of the Kingdom?
Love with Legs // Philip Jinadu
We're loved by God. But does it stop there? Or does love demand something of us? Check out loverunning.info
Hold Spur Meet 3: Meet Together // Emily Toogood
Meeting together is a habit. You can gain it and you can lose it? So why are some people giving up on this? And does it matter.
Hold Spur Meet 2 | Spur One Another // Kate Jinadu
Provoke one another in faith? How does this not just become nagging and bullying?
Hold Spur Meet 1: Hold On // Philip Jinadu
Yesterday’s faith isn’t good enough. So how do we hold on to a hope for today when we’re going through hard times?
Seeker Friendly // Philip Jinadu
Jesus' encounter with a notorious tax collector was a shocking incident full of controversy and surprises. Perfect material for the start of our year.
Foretold 3: The Prophet // Philip Jinadu
If the signs of Jesus coming into the world were clearly foretold by ancient prophets, why didn't more people recognise him? Have we got Biblical prophecy all wrong?
Foretold 2: The King // Emily Toogood
People want someone to look to, a ruler to bring order and peace to their world. Problem is, every human king lets us down. Time for God Himself to step in.
Foretold 1: The Garden // Philip Jinadu
The coming of Jesus wasn't an emergency response to a world gone bad. It was planned and promised from the very beginning.
Mourning Glory // Dave Mitchell
Why being poor, broken and down can be the best place to be when Jesus is in charge.
Disciplines that Make a Difference - Part 4: The Discipline of Sabbath // Kate Jinadu
We live non-stop lives in a non-stop world. But what would it look like if Jesus followers rediscovered the spiritual practice of total rest?
Disciplines that Make a Difference - Part 3: The Discipline of Giving // Philip Jinadu
We tend to think of giving as an off the cuff response to an emotional ask. But what if it’s a practice that shapes our discipleship?
Disciplines that Make a Difference - Part 2: The Discipline of Intercession // Susanna Raj
Scripture tells us to pray with all kinds of prayer, but most of us don’t know there’s more than one. So what does it mean to intercede for others?
Disciplines that Make a Difference - Part 1: The Discipline of Fasting // Philip Jinadu
For hundreds of years fasting was a weekly practice of every Christian. So why did we drop it and is there more to it than just going hungry?
The Road Less Travelled - Part 3: The Way of Love // Alexia Macleod
You can go faster alone, but if you want to go further we need to go together. We need to go the Way of Love.
The Road Less Travelled - Part 2: The Way of the Cross // Philip Jinadu
The Way of Jesus is a direct challenge to the direction most people take. It’s a way of self-denial that embraces weakness and rejection. It’s the way of the cross.
The Road Less Travelled - Part 1: Where are you Headed? // Philip Jinadu
The easiest way to see where a person is headed is to see where they’ve come from. Maybe it’s time to change direction.
Mission Generation - Part 3: Radical Community // Kate Jinadu
The first believers impacted their world not through words, debate or political pressure. They did it by being the most awesome community the world had ever seen.
Mission Generation - Part 2: Radical Devotion // Philip Jinadu
Here's a paradox. The first disciples impacted the world around them not by looking outward, but by looking inward. How on earth does this work?
Mission Generation - Part 1: Radical Vision // Philip Jinadu
The first believers began their mission with an extraordinary vision. So what was it and what can we learn from it?
Infinite Playlist 3: Psalm 24 // Matt Dobson
How do our thoughts and feelings determine our actions? And what's the key to breaking the shame cycle?
Infinite Playlist 3: Psalm 22 // Alexia Macleod
What can we learn from God from a cry of pain?
Infinite Playlist 3: Psalm 27 // Laura Harris
What does it mean to be saved by God? Laura gives insight into her favourite Psalm.
Infinite Playlist 3: Psalm 138 // Philip Jinadu
How can you be sure that God will come through for you when times are tough?
Pursuing his Presence // Rob Scott Cook
What difference does it make in our life and our witness to the world when we truly pursue the presence of Jesus? And how exactly do we do that?
The Call - Part 4: The Call to Give // Chloe Swinney
Jesus called the rich to sell their possessions and give to the poor. Are we really supposed to answer this call, or was Jesus bluffing?
The Call - Part 3: The Call to Die // Mat Miles
Jesus called his disciples to take up a cross and die to themselves. It’s a metaphor, right? Surely he wasn’t serious.
The Call - Part 2: The Call to Proclaim // Philip Jinadu
Jesus called his disciples to proclaim his Kingdom, with actions as well as words. But he never said we have to do it in our own strength.
The Call - Part 1: The Call to Follow // Emily Toogood
Jesus called disciples to follow him, not just to learn from him. And following Jesus will always change you.
Dealing with Doubt - Part 3: House of Cards // Philip Jinadu
Many of us have built our faith on shaky foundations. So what are the keys to having a robust faith that stands the test of time?
Dealing with Doubt - Part 2: The Dark Night // Martin Riddall
How on earth do you recover when your faith in God is totally destroyed? Martin shares his incredible story.
Dealing with Doubt - Part 1: Disappointed with God // Philip Jinadu
It’s easy to believe when all is going well. But how do we cope when we feel let down by God?
Hearing from God - Part 2: Divine Hearing // Tim Dobson
The Bible talks about God imparting supernatural insight to people. But are words from God and the prophetic just for the select few?
Hearing from God - Part 1: Guided by God // Kate Jinadu
If God has a plan for our lives, how do we discover it? What are the key for figuring out what God is saying to us and how He’s guiding us?
Image of God // Dave Mitchell
God's image is in us, not just as individuals, but as the body of Christ. So why is that a problem?
David - Part 4: Bathsheba // Philip Jinadu
We tend to think we can indulge our worst desires a little and get away with it. But the price is always far, far greater than we expect.
David - Part 3: Achish // Philip Jinadu
Taking matters into your own hands will only take you so far. Unless you can find strength in God you won’t recover when you hit rock bottom.
David - Part 2: Doeg // Philip Jinadu
Why is it that when challenges and discouragement come, we often forget the very lessons that bought us success in the first place?
David - Part 1: Goliath // Matt Price Drewett
It takes more than promises and belief to fulfil your God-given destiny. You have to prove God’s calling on your life, not just presume it.
Resurrection Fallout // Philip Jinadu
Ever thought that Christianity was based on teaching and superstition? Think again. It's based on history and fact. This is how.
