Summer Series 2024
A reflection on Psalms 1-9. this is a generic Bible study that can be used for individual or groups. The Psalms are an amazing collection of songs, prayers and poems that cover the whole range of human emotions. The psalmist asking difficult and challenging questions of God, but always ultimately realising that God knows better and is sovereign over everything.
Jonah
A series on the book of Jonah based on sermons by Rev Chris Short. Jonah is a facinating story full of surprises and highlights several key Biblical truths such as "Salvation comes from the Lord." Jonah's reluctance to obey can sometimes reflect our own experience in following God. His refusal to enjoy God's mercy towards the Ninevites also highlights our desire to make God work to our own agenda rather than recognise His mercy is for everyone.
Micah
Studies from a series in Micah preached by Jez Taylor. Micah lived in a time when Isreal was in trouble. They had rejected the Lord in favour of money, exploitation of the poor and idol worship. God judges his people fairly yet demonstrates mercy at the same time. He calls on them to "Act justly", "Love mercy", and "walk humbly with their God." What do these three things mean and how are they a picture of true Chrsitian discipleship?
Hearts on Fire
A series on the Holy Spirit by Chris Short. In this series we explore who the Holy Spirit is, what His role is, how he can change us and empower in order to for us to do the will of God. Topics include the armour of God, the fruit of the Spirit and spiritual gifts. We will discover that as Christians we are in a spiritual battle and the Holy Spirit is fighting with us. AMEN!
