'Love Builds Up' Wrap Up!

October 13, 2024 • Richard Jones

Looking back over our series in First Corinthians, we see again how love is key to all that happens in the life of the church. We consider how love ensures unity, love enables purity, love defines liberty, love motivates community and love lasts for eternity!

Heavenly People

September 22, 2024 • Christopher Alton

In this message we consider three important aspects of being Heavenly People (1 Co 15:48-49). Through His death and resurrection Christ has led us back into a trusting relationship with the Father, enabling us to live in the blessings of being under God's arrangement. The Seed of Christ is now within us, transforming us from the inside out, from one degree of glory to another until the final transformation of our bodies at His return. And lastly, through Jesus, the last Adam, we're no longer just living beings, but now life-giving spirits. As Heavenly People we're able to reach down from the heavenlies to lift up the lost, with the life and power of His resurrection life within us.

Resurrection Revolution

September 15, 2024 • Richard Jones

In 1 Corinthians 15 we see that Jesus’ resurrection changes everything. It has revolutionised history, revolutionises hope and the Good News is that the revolution is here, we can live in the good of it today!

Foundations, First-Fruits and Fire-Power

September 8, 2024 • David Lyon • 1 Corinthians 15

As we reach the end of this great epistle, the apostle Paul devotes himself to explaining the nature of the resurrection and showing us that it’s the very foundation or grounds of our faith - for without the resurrection there is no forgiveness, no salvation and no future hope. Moreover, he explains that Christ’s resurrection was the first of many, with the promise of life after death for all who are in Christ! In this message we explore these things in a bit more detail and consider how we can live in resurrection power today!…

Showing and Telling

August 18, 2024 • Pete Sivers, Emily Sivers

We can all show Jesus' love in so many different ways in our day to day lives. Smith Wigglesworth's early life showed us that you don't have to be the most polished preacher to bring the word of God to someone's life. We just need to be bold!

Life in the Spirit - Principles and Practicals

August 11, 2024 • William Lyon, Mike Shuter

In this message Will and Mike share a few principles and practicals for how we outwork life in the Spirit when we’re gathered and as we’re living our daily lives.

By One Spirit, In One Body

July 28, 2024 • Richard Jones

In 1 Corinthians 12, Paul helps us understand how the Holy Spirit enables us to each play our part in the church, which is the magnificent Body of Christ!

Decently And In Order

July 14, 2024 • Mike Shuter

In this message we will be looking at 1 corinthians 14 and Paul's desire that when we gather we do it decently and in order. This includes how we administer the gifts of prophecy and tongues and interpretation. We'll also look at how we can handle some of the tricky passages in this chapter and how we handle challenging scriptures generally.

Unity in Diversity

July 7, 2024 • Christopher Alton

The Apostle Paul received a special revelation of the church, as God’s means through which He intends to display His wisdom in its rich variety (Eph 3:10, NLT). From his own revelation of God’s nature (vv.4-6), Paul shows us how each person’s unique expression can add to the rich tapestry on display in His church, instead of the Corinthian chaos. The Spirit empowers us, as He APPORTIONS His gifts (v.11). The Son embodies Himself in us, as He ARRANGES the members of His church (v.18). And the Father establishes His work, as He APPOINTS ministry in His house (v.28). Father, Son and Spirit working together in harmony through us … unity in diversity!

Pomegranate People

June 23, 2024 • William Lyon

The Holy Spirit has much he wants to do through us and among us when we gather. In this message we draw on scriptures from 1 Corinthians 12-14 to consider how love for God and one another must be our motivation for operating in the things of the Spirit.

Love Looks Like Fatherhood

June 16, 2024 • Chris Vessey

As believers, it’s critical we step into the light of God, follow his commands and train ourselves in spiritual health so we can see generations come though in faith. But it’s not that easy is it… listen more to find out how we can step up and stand out, especially as men of God on Father’s Day.

The Heavenly Realms

June 9, 2024 • David Lyon

Paul's instructions to the Corinthians concerning their gatherings together (1 Corinthians chs 11 to 14) can only really be understood in the context of God's longing to see the church displaying His “manifold wisdom…to the rulers and authorities in the heavenly realms” (Eph 3:10). But what does this mean? What are these “heavenly realms”? Who are these “rulers and authorities”? And how does the church make known God’s wisdom? Join us we consider some of these vital supernatural dimensions of our gatherings!…

Assembly Required

May 26, 2024 • Richard Jones

In our ‘Love Builds Up’ series going through 1 Corinthians, we look at how, in chapters 11-14, Paul talks about the spiritual significance of our gatherings. In these chapters we see angelic engagement and Holy Spirit manifestation, we begin to see what should happen when we meet, and what should our expectations be!

Proclaiming His Death

May 12, 2024 • Mike Shuter

We’re in 1 Corinthians 11 during our Love builds up series so let’s use the opportunity to dig deeper into the lessons of how not to break bread! We’ll look at some context of the scripture and then think about the importance of unity around the table, judgement around the table and proclamation from the table.
