It is possible to know about the love of God and yet not to have encountered it personally. As we come to the end of our Pause series, Soroush explores how the Bible shows us that we can know and encounter this love and how it leads us to love those around us.

Wisdom is not simply cleverness or intelligence. The New Testament tells us that Jesus has become to us 'wisdom from God' and it is as we learn to walk with him that we encounter true wisdom.

Sometimes we can get carried away with what the business world says about vision, or try to impose 'straplines' on our churches. In the second of our Pause series, Raj explores what biblical vision is: God's revelation to us!

In the first talk of our Pause series Gavin looks at what it means to live HD lives. Giving an overview of the book of James he explores the importance of hearing God’s word especially in terms of our identity. What does God say about us? What is our identity in Christ? In order to live truly fruitful lives we need to grasp our God given identity. James also says that hearing isn’t enough and a true walk with God will also involve doing, Gavin looks at what this can look like in our context and how we can serve those around us. Are you living a HD life?

What does it mean to look forward to our hope and future as followers of Jesus? Ben finishes our Heroes series by showing us how the faith of the Hebrews 11 heroes leads us to confidence in God for a glorious future with him!

We can sometimes think that if we have enough faith, God will spare us from suffering and persecution. However, Mahvash helps us to see from Hebrews 11 that we're to have faith in the midst of these things. This talk is in Farsi, so if you're looking for an English version, head over to our Youtube channel where you can watch and hear Mahvash with sub-titles!

Can we be heroes of faith too? It seems that the writer of Hebrews wants us to know that faith heroes aren’t super-special people that we could never be. In fact, many of them go unnoticed. Lou continues our series with a verse that begins 'And what more shall I say?' Quite a lot apparently!

As we come to our next two heroes, Gavin looks into the faith shown by Rahab in welcoming in the spies and what that can teach us about providing a welcome to those around us. In the second part of this talk, we look at Joshua's obedience in following God's specific instructions about the walls of Jericho. What would it look like if we showed the same obedience in our day-to-day lives?

At a time of great hardship, God raised up Moses. However, He would show him that it was going to be a faith journey from start to finish. The same is true for us!

Joseph's life took him from being the favourite son to a slave, a prisoner and then to a powerful Egyptian official. Even as he neared death, he knew that his God was faithful and would fulfil promises for His people.

In a way, we're all looking for future blessing and we'll try to achieve it in all sorts of ways. What do the accounts of Isaac and Jacob's blessings to the next generation tell us about the blessing we're searching for?

The promise of a son is so far-fetched to Sarah that she seems to laugh it off. However, she comes to realise that nothing is impossible for God. Guest speaker John Hosier, from Gateway Church Poole, helps us to see that the account of Sarah has much to teach us about faithfully believing for all Jesus wants to do in our lives today.
