May 19th: Parables: The Kingdom (Matthew 13v31-34, 44-45; Matthew 20v1-16; Matthew 22v1-14)

During the three years of Jesus' preaching ministry, he seemed to have a holy obsession with the Kingdom of God. He only mentions Church twice, but talks about the Kingdom over 100 times. He is so desperate for his disciple to understand what the kingdom is all about that in the 40 days between his resurrection and ascension, we are told in Act 1v3, what he chose to teach them about was "the Kingdom of God". The rule and reign of God's kingdom in our world is such an amazing thing that Jesus frequently used parables to help people fully understand all the wonderful attributes of the Kingdom and reorientate their lives around kingdom priorities. We are going to look at a few of Jesus' kingdom parables tonight. Download Discussion notes

Jesus often uses things from nature to teach people spiritual principles. For example Matt 6v28-33. As we consider the way God provides for the natural world, we should not be anxious but rely on Him with simple trust. Matthew 13 contains a number of agricultural/growing parables.

Love Running Celebration

On 5th May 2019 over 250 people took part in the Bristol 10k as part of Love Running. Together we have raised over £70,000 for the poor, the oppressed & the needy. Once again, we're giving half of all we raise to global causes, focusing on Syrian Children Refugees, and the other half to local causes, addressing some of the areas of greatest need in Bristol.

Love Running is an incredible initiative that helps ordinary people do extraordinary things. It’s about engaging with our communities, making a difference to people’s lives, and doing ourselves some good while we’re at it.

This is the sixth time we've done Love Running in Bristol, and since we've started we've seen over 2,500 people running and raised more than £600,000 for those that need it the most.

Come join us and be part of something truly heroic.

Get fit. Get friends. Change the world.
