The Scattered Kingdom

May 5, 2024 • Matt Round • Daniel 1—4, Esther 3—4

We are looking into Daniel 1-4 & Esther 3-4 this week. How are we to live as God's Kingdom scattered among earthly kingdoms? We're not to blend in, to fight, or to withdraw - but to faithfully engage. This will take courage but restrain evil - though our hope remains beyond this world: a final welcome into God's Kingdom fulfilled. If you'd like to read and think more about this, see David Nixon's paper on engaging with contemporary society via the link below.

The Return of the King

May 19, 2024 • Peter Grainger • Revelation 21:1–5, Revelation 22:1–5

Today we come to the end of our series on the Kingdom of God with the wonderful picture of its final fulfilment in Revelation 21 & 22 and the challenge to be prepared.

Hope for the Kingdom

May 12, 2024 • Tom Breimaier • Micah 3

We are looking into Micah 3:1-12 this week. Micah the Prophet spends his days speaking truth to power. What hope can we find amid the words of judgement, and how does it help us understand the Kingdom of God?

A King's Heart

April 28, 2024 • Tom Breimaier • 1 Samuel 16:1–13, 2 Samuel 11

We are looking into 1 Samuel 16:1-13 & 2 Samuel 11 this week. King David, the celebrated leader of Israel, is clearly gifted and also clearly flawed. Where does he fit in the wider picture of God's Kingdom, and what does it say to us today?
