HELPFUL HABITS - Generosity (rather than greed) | Lara Morris

We live in an age that wants, even expects, more! It’s not just confined to money, but possessions, holidays, food etc. But there is something that can break the power of more.

THE JESUS YOU NEED TO KNOW: The resurrection and the life | Lara Morris

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.’

In this talk, Lara Morris looks at the story of Lazarus, which can be found in John chapter 11.

SONGS FOR THE JOURNEY | Psalm 128

SONGS FOR THE JOURNEY | Psalm 128

Long journeys can be transformed by a great playlist!

The Psalms of Ascent (Psalms 120-134) were written to accompany pilgrims as they travelled towards Jerusalem. We too can use these songs to give voice to our experiences and to guide our paths towards God.

As we journey through life, how can we equip one another to stay on the right paths? Lara Morris looks at Psalm 128 to help answer this question.

TEACH US TO PRAY | Daily Bread

In a world of war, high inflation, financial uncertainty, ongoing challenges from the global pandemic and many other big, pressing issues, what does it mean today to ask God for ‘our daily bread’?

HEROES OF THE FAITH | Sacrifice and worship

HEROES OF THE FAITH | Sacrifice and worship

Jesus said though that if we want to hold onto our lives we’ll lose them, but if we lose our lives for his sake then we’ll find them!

How can we learn from the lives of those mentioned in Hebrews 11 about how to please God, and why is sacrifice such a big part of pleasing Him? How can we live lives where we give more than we get?

Lara Morris looks at the story of Enoch to help us make sense of how we can walk with God in our lives.

Life Interrupted: Living with Integrity

It has been said that the true test of our character is what we do when no-one is watching. Jospeh learned to trust God when his treatment was unjust, and had opportunities to serve God in low positions as well as high ones. What does it look like for us to live lives on integrity and trust both in private and in public?
