The psalmist says that the Bible is good for:
Refreshing the soul
Making wise the simple
Giving joy to the heart
Giving light to the eyes.
However, it was written so long ago, many people find it a challenge to read.
In this talk, Tim Dobson looks at how we can read and understand the Bible today, and the importance of doing so.
In the final talk of our series on Paul’s letters to Timothy, Peter Hatton asks how we can endure in our faith and say that we’ve fought the good fight?

Acts 3:1-10 describes the story of Peter healing a person who had been lame from birth.

Why does God heal?
Does God heal today?
How does God heal?
Dave Mitchell continues our Holy Spirit series by looking at the gift of prophecy.
(Please note that towards the end of this talk, Dave asked members of the congregation to share any words or pictures they had. 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.)
On Global Partnership Sunday, Ed Marsh continues our series on the Holy Spirit by looking at the very beginning of the book of Acts (ch 1:4-8)

What difference did it make to the lives of those present?
How can we be filled with the Holy Spirit today?
In his talk, Nigel mentions the Alpha Holy Spirit weekend. If you’d like to find out more about Alpha, please visit this page on our website.
With just a spoken threat from Jezebel, Elijah’s confidence and faith fell crashing down. He ran and hid in a cave as his emotional state spiralled, until God pulled him out.
Robyn Coleman finishes out series on Elijah by looking at the challenges he faced, and how God spoke to him in the silence.
Philip Jinadu continues our series on Elijah by looking at the events on Mount Carmel and asking what it shows us about living out our faith today.
Elijah had no way of looking after himself. He was completely dependent on the provision of God and the kindness of a stranger, who would normally be the last person Elijah would look to.
In this talk, Rob Scott-Cook asks what can we learn from who God used and how He acted, as well as Elijah’s obedience to God’s commands?
We see in 1 Kings 18 a major showdown with Elijah and the prophets of Baal and a miraculous encounter with the power of God.
But how did Elijah get to Carmel?
What had God been doing in preparation for this point?
And what can we learn about how God wants to be preparing us?
