With Jesus, our suffering isn’t meaningless. God can use life's hardships to grow our endurance, shape our character, and fill us with hope by the power of his Spirit. Jesus suffered with and for us.

The week we continued our series on flourishing with Jesus with Matt speaking from a couple of passages in Romans.

The Christian life is about far more than just rescue or forgiveness. It is about receiving a new identity, as a child of God and an heir in God's kingdom. And the reality of that identity is not something we are waiting for but begins now.

Paul calls believers to live in a way that reflects the good news by standing firm in unity, caring for others above themselves. A life worthy of the gospel is one shaped by Christ’s self-giving love.

Where do we look for identity? Inside, out there or somewhere else?

Paul lets the church in Philippi know how he is getting on and what they learn is that a life captured by Jesus sees opportunity in every trial, courage in every witness, and peace in every outcome.

What do you really long for? In Mark 10:35–45, James and John ask Jesus for places of honour. But Jesus flips their expectations—and ours—by showing that true greatness isn’t about power or position, but about serving others. In this talk, Wayne unpacks how our desires shape us, how Jesus reveals what’s really in our hearts, and how His sacrifice changes everything. We’re invited to lay down self and discover a life rooted in service, humility, and the security of being loved by God. ✨ “For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.” (Mark 10:45) Wherever you are in your faith journey, this is good news: Jesus came not to demand, but to give. Not to burden, but to free. Not to condemn, but to save. At B&A, we believe Hope is Here—in Jesus, who meets us in our longings and transforms them with His love.
