Jesus, Our Great High Priest

Hebrews 4:14-16

Jesus is our Great High Priest. Because of him we can approach God's throne of grace with boldness. Great news! However, it does raise some big questions- why couldn't we approach God's throne with boldness anyway? Why do we need a great High Priest at all? And why is this whole subject so important both in the letter to the Hebrews and to us today?

Finding Rest

Hebrews 4:1-13

The writer to the Hebrews spells out the way to find true rest. However, in the busyness of life we could very easily fail to experience it. In this talk we discover how to ensure we live in the good of the rest that Jesus offers us all.

The Resurrection Means Peace

Luke 24:36

Jesus appears to his disciples and greets them by saying ‘Peace be with you’ but this is more than a greeting, it is a statement of what has been achieved through his death and resurrection.

How To Not Harden Your Heart

Hebrews 3:6-4:1

Come Home

Hebrews 3:1-11

The writer to the Hebrews throws out a stunning invitation and a sobering warning. What we learn in this sermon is that both are highly relevant for us today.

Do you love Jesus?

Hebrews 2:5-18

At the centre of the whole Bible, is this question: ‘Do you love Jesus?’. In this passage, the writer to the Hebrews seeks to grow our love by painting a glorious, technicolour picture of the Son of God.

As Christians we know Jesus has set us free! Yet we all find it hard to live in that freedom day to day. Why is that? How can I break free? The story of the Israelites - and our first glimpse of Gideon - in Judges 6 provide the answers.

Joy Blockers

Acts Acts 8:4-25

When the gospel lands in a life, it’s meant to result in much joy! But, like Simon in Acts 8, we often fall for two classic joy-blockers that hold us back on the journey to joy. Here, Rich highlights those joy-blockers and points to the truths that obliterate them!

Persecution: An Unwelcome Visitor

Tensions In Evangelism

Colossians 4:2-6

We know evangelism is good and right, but so often we don't feel it. In this talk, we seek to get our thinking right about three tensions in evangelism, as we see what Paul calls the Colossians to do with this glorious gospel.

Don't Be Deluded!

Colossians 1:24-2:5

Believing things that aren’t true has real implications in your life. That’s why Paul longs for the Colossians not to be deluded! We explore two themes that even the most fruitful and faithful Christians can be off-track on and hear God, through Paul, calling us back to clarity and confidence.

Contentment

Philippians 4:11-13

Contentment is a hugely attractive thing but it's also elusive. Looking at some of Paul's words from prison, we see how to take hold of an indestructible contentment that can be ours whatever the circumstance.
