The Passion (7PM Series)

At Easter we want relook at the events around Jesus' death, resurrection and beyond and rediscover what the meaning and impact that those events have for us as individuals and for us as people today.


THE PASSION: Towards Jerusalem, Rachel Riddall, 02/04/17

As we prepare to remember the time when Jesus was "lifted up" on the cross, let us come to him with worship and praise. He is the Servant King would shows his humble rulership through self sacrifice. Take some time quietly to worship Jesus, then take the chance in small groups to pray out loud and declare your praise to King Jesus, for who he is and what he has achieved.

 


THE PASSION: The Shadow of the Cross, Tim Dobson, 09/04/17

This week we look at the story of the crucifixion of Jesus. Events of cosmic unique
significance happened at the Cross. What facets of the cross are revealed here
and how do they affect us in our discipleship and our worship?.

 


THE PASSION: Easter Day, Dave Mitchell, 16/04/17

This week we look at the account of the first Easter Day. A joyful celebration of resurrection that changes everything. The whole destiny of mankind is changed because He is risen.

 


THE PASSION: Resurrection Life, Rob Scott Cook, 23/04/17

Jesus commissions his disciples and sends them out into the world (v21-22) to show God's love and share the good news of new life in Jesus (v31) What does it mean for Jesus to send you out into the world with his good news? How can you do that this week? How do we receive the Holy Spirit in our lives today (v22)? Bible Ref: John 21

 


THE PASSION: Worship & Justice (worship special), Nigel Savage 30/04/17

On Earth As In Heaven (7PM Series)

In this series, we look at the tensions of being both people who live on Earth now and people who have a sense of Heaven and how that affects our viewpoints and interactions with a world that desperately needs God's love.


ON EARTH AS IN HEAVEN: Kingdom Politics, Michael Wear 26/03/17

Michael Wear is the founder of Public Square Strategies LLC, and a leading expert and strategist at the intersection of faith, politics and American public life. As one of President Obama's "ambassadors to America's believers" (Buzzfeed), Michael directed faith outreach for President Obama’s historic 2012 re-election campaign.


ON EARTH AS IN HEAVEN: Kingdom Calling, Dave Mitchell 19/03/17

How powerful is the act of sharing communion in our experience? Do you feel comfortable about sharing at small group and pastorate level in this? Is it OK to be informal in our practice?


ON EARTH AS IN HEAVEN: King Jesus, Tim Dobson 26/03/17

This talk finishes our Kingdom series, but launches us into our next, which leads us up to Easter. In John 10: 22 onwards Jesus makes strong claims about who he is, and is almost killed; in John 11 he raises Lazarus from the dead in an outstanding miracle which speaks deeply about his authority but also precipitates the
chain of events leading to his crucifixion.
