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.

Wayne starts us in a new series centred around the person of Jesus and flourishing with Jesus. This week we are in Genesis 1:26-28 and Colossians 1:15-20, to talk about identity, the need for Jesus and the answer the the question 'who am I?'

James begins our series on Philippians with 1:1-12, introducing the context that Philippians was written, how currently faith in contentious and if we let him God's love will change our hearts.

The final instalment of our Jesus series, Denise takes us through the road to Emmaus from Luke 24:13-35, she talks about Jesus in our lives and once we know it sharing it with others.

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.
