What does it mean to be human? Genesis 2 introduces us to humanity and God's design for who we are and how we are meant to be.

Christians have lost confidence in Genesis 1 with the rise of science and skepticism. This week James explains how we can rediscover confidence in Genesis.

A strong beginning is something to get excited about. In Autumn we have exciting new starts to look forward to in our individual lives, and at B&A. On Sundays we will be looking s at the book of Genesis, with that classic opening line: In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.

We live in a world where we're meant to show our best all the time. But what do we do with our worst? With the stuff we don't want anyone to see? We hide it away. Where it builds up. Psalm 102 shows us what God wants for all that stuff and to remember to bring it to Him.

On first reading Psalm 94 seems to be about God, the righteous and just judge, destroying the wicked. But as we understand more of God’s righteousness and justice, we also begin to realise the amazing extent of his love for each one of us.

Unity is a precious and beautiful gift from God, and yet seems like an impossible task, through Psalm 133 we look at how the Church, through being unified can reveal the person of Jesus.

This week James and Wayne talk about how we read the Bible and what we can hear through John.

This week we hear about Sheila's journey of conversion, calling and grief as we commission her.

Christians are righteous, loving, and confident before God, at least that's the plan we read here. How can these things be true of us when we still do wrong things, put ourselves first, and worry what God thinks of us? Simple. Because God lives in us.

We live in an age that is both post Christian and post secular. What sort of church will make a difference in this kind of world. A church that looks like Jesus. From 1 John we learn two do's and two don'ts of how to look and live like Jesus.

As the first generation of apostles died out they conveyed a message that future generations could live by - that we can still meet Jesus, by His Spirit and that to live the life of Jesus now, we need to be sure to understand who He is.

As our series on John’s gospel comes to an end, James explores the legacies we have received and the legacy we will pass on but from an understanding that this is all for God’s glory.

Are you living the life God’s wants for you? How do you truly make God your rock and foundation? If God is our creator and sustainer, how do we allow Him to sustain us in all the areas of our lives? 3 pointers to start you off could be to pursue His presence, answer His call and stay in your lane!

In recent weeks, negotiations about our buildings have progressed significantly. Listen to this podcast to give you an update and to know what to be praying for.

Jesus wants us to have Peace in Him - what does that mean and how can we grow into that Peace so that we are not overcome by the troubles of this world.

Jesus tells the disciples that the Spirit is coming. Coming to bear witness to him and the disciples are to join in. What does that look like?

Christianity is not about following a set of rules; it is about a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. And like any personal relationship, if we are going to make our relationship with Jesus grow we need to spend time with Him.”

There is a big difference between being in trouble and having a troubled heart. In John 14 Jesus tells his disciples the key to not having a troubled heart which is trusting God. Jesus does not just say trust me, he also says why. This is just as relevant to us today.

When Jesus reinstates Peter as the leader of the church he shows us key steps to rebuilding trust: forgiveness, facing mistakes and facing the future. These are simple steps we can follow.

We journey with Jesus’ followers from the burial of Jesus to the realisation of his resurrection. They go from despair to hope. John’s experience of the resurrection was a gradual dawning of hope and believing. He steps into faith. Where are we on this journey and what does it mean?
