Between January and March this year, we’re spending our Sunday services spending time looking at the book of John.
As John himself says:
'Jesus performed many other signs in the presence of his disciples, which are not recorded in this book. But these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name.’
Using the experience of Nicodemus, Dave Mitchell looks at how Jesus brings new life.
The Bible reference for this talk is John chapter 3.
Who is God and what is He like?
The apostle John gives three statements in his first letter to help us understand more of God’s character.

Dave Mitchell looks at examples of ‘both/and’ tension in the Christian life.
Modern, Western life seems to be geared towards speed and efficiency.
Many of us are working longer hours and taking less time off. Shops are open for longer and everything is available at a simple click of a button, delivered the very next day. Everything is as convenient and fast as possible.
At the same time, burnout and mental health problems are becoming more and more common.
Does this frenetic pace of modern life work with how we are created to be or are we pushing ourselves beyond what our bodies, minds and souls are created for?

Their responses were not caught on a dedicated microphone so are quite hard to hear. We’ve boosted the volume as much as possible, but please do accept our apologies for the limitations.)
