Faith and Creativity
What does creativity have to do with faith? How do they react with one another? Why is creativity important in our faith? God created us in His image, and so we too are creative beings. And He asks us to join Him in creativity. But what does this mean? Watch and listen as we explore the relationship between faith and creativity. And may you be encouraged and inspired to creative exploits. Read more

The Trinity
| Trinity / 5 |
The Trinity, One God in Three Persons. This is something that has baffled and confused people for centuries as they try to work out how God can be One but also Three. This reflection isn’t going to be the definitive answer, but hopefully will give an insight into the Trinity and it also explains why understanding and recognising the Trinity is important, for our lives; for the Church; and for the world.

Who is the Holy Spirit?
| Trinity / 4 |
Last week we started looking at the Holy Spirit, and what it means for Him to be present with us and how we can recognise Him.

God the Holy Spirit
| Trinity / 3 |
The Holy Spirit, God present with us and in us at all times. Do we understand what that means for us and for the world on a practical basis? How do we live in confidence of the Holy Spirit’s presence with us? Quote: “In early Judaism, at the time of Jesus, God was tending to be thought of as more and more distant from man, the transcendent holy God, high and lifted up, dwelling in unapproachable glory.

Jesus Christ, God the Son
| Trinity / 2 |
What is in a name? Jesus’ name and titles give us glimpses into who Jesus is and what He came to do on earth. Understanding the relevance of these titles helps to inspire us to worship God, crying out “Jesus Christ is Lord”. Quote: “It is not an exaggeration to say that the incarnation - God becoming flesh - is the most scandalous teaching anyone has ever given. More scandalously, it is completely true. Read more

“I was there at Pentecost”
It is Pentecost, a day when we remember and recognise the coming of the Holy Spirit. We are pausing from our series in 2 Timothy, which we will pick back up on next week, but today, we look back to the events of Pentecost when the Holy Spirit came upon the disciples in power. Listen as we hear from one of the 120 disciples as they retell the story. Acts 2

Threats to our Commitment!
| Commitment - 2 Timothy / 3 |
As we continue through 2 Timothy, Paul turns his attention to warning about the threats we face in our journey of commitment to God.

Commitment in the Face of Faithlessness!
| Commitment - 2 Timothy / 2 |
In the second part of our series, we find Paul instructing Timothy how to remain faithful and committed in the face of faithlessness. Timothy was facing in-fighting and attempts at usurping control of the church away from the rightful head, Jesus. And so, Paul gave Timothy encouragement and guidance for how to remain faithful in the face of such opposition. We may not face the same struggles as Timothy, but we too can learn from these words to help us as we face the struggles of our own daily lives. Read more
