This letter gives us another secret to growth and change to those of us who are feeling a little bit complacent. Maybe we feel a little more bored than blessed when we connect with church … Perhaps we feel a lot more attached to this world than we’d like - (who doesn’t struggle with that?) and looking us straight in the eye Jesus says - “I want you to see your need as you never have before. Then I’d be able to meet your need as I never have before.” John writes this way to the church in Laodicea - “To the angel of the church of Laodicea write, ‘These are the words of the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the ruler of God’s creation. I know your deeds that you’re neither cold nor hot … I wish that you were one or the other … But you don’t realise you’re wretched, pitiful, poor, blind and naked. I counsel you get from me gold refined in the fire so you can become rich and white clothes to wear so you can cover your shameful nakedness salve to put on your eyes so you can see.” (Revelation 3:14 ff) Not easy words from Jesus but they end with his remarkable promise - “Look! I am standing at the door and I'm constantly knocking. If anyone opens the door I will come in and I’ll fellowship with him; I’ll relate to him, I’ll dine with him and he’ll fellowship with me.” (Revelation 3:20 – Message)

When teaching his followers about his return, Jesus pointed to the days of Noah and the flood in warning them to 'be ready' and 'keep watch’. Join us this Sunday as we consider how we can remain watchful and ready for his coming ‘like a thief' at an hour we do not expect.

There are many examples of 'famous last words’ throughout history, but perhaps none are as significant as those spoken from the cross by the two criminals crucified alongside Jesus, and by Jesus himself. Join us this Sunday to find out more.

When his disciples commented on the magnificence of the temple, Jesus ominously tells them that it will be thrown down, with not one stone left on top of another. Join us this Sunday as we ask what strongholds we erroneously set up in our lives still today, and how we can find genuine permanency and life.

Jesus was always open to questions from people genuinely wanting to know more. But when he's questioned by some cynical Sadducees, they quickly find their true motives laid bare. Come ready to ask questions this Sunday at 10am.

When we go to a wedding we often hear the familiar words at the end of 1 Corinthians 13 "...these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love." We talk and think about faith and love frequently but not so much about hope. What is this hope? Is it a hope for the present or something in the future? A paralysed man had hopes of Jesus. Jesus' response was pretty surprising.
