The Good Life You're Looking For - Sunday May 12th

When someone describes themself as 'a person of faith' it implies that other people aren't 'people of faith.' The prophet Jeremiah says, 'that's wrong - we're all people of faith - it just depends what you're putting your faith in.' And he goes on to say that what you put your faith in has a profound influence on the kind of life you end up living. Will it be one of fruitf...

There maybe here and there men of iron, to whom wear and tear work no perc...

Coming Home... and Change of Venue! Sunday March 3rd

The prophet Jeremiah warned that ancient Judah would be destroyed because of her worship of idols. And she was. You might think that has nothing to do with us in the 21st Century - and yet we constantly look to things other than God to give us 'the good life', and those things we look to have this tendancy to consume us.

The things you delight in - Sunday January 27th

What is it that, if you have it, you feel great about life, but if you don't have it, you feel down or anxious?

This Sunday we'll look at an event in David's life that tells us what that was from him,...
