We Love God’s Spirit (Conference recordings)
Helen and I recently had the joy of speaking at King’s Church Eastbourne for their weekend conference, We Love God’s Spirit. I’m a big fan of this church!

The Eternal Son (Hebrews 1)
On Sunday I kicked off a brand new series at Oxford Community Church, looking at Jesus in the letter to the Hebrews. We looked at chapter 1 of this amazing letter, and considered four things the author tells us about the Eternal Son. He speaks, he shows, he sustains and he sits.

A United Witness (John 17)
Jesus prayed for his church, that they would be one, even as the Trinity – Father, Son and Spirit – are one. In this talk, we consider the call and challenge of unity, and how a unified church can be a powerful witness in a divided world.

Looking at the parable…
Stand Firm: Four talks on Daniel
Back in the summer, I had the opportunity to speak at the Dreaming the Impossible youth festival on behalf of Bible Society. Every morning, we led a Bible Study based in the book of Daniel and connected to the overall theme of the conference, ‘Stand Firm’. Given that this was the first year they’d run…
Abraham: Faith and Blessing (Genesis 12)
On Sunday I had the privilege of preaching at Carterton Community Church, continuing their new series on the life of Abraham.
