On The Road
Mark Howard
On the road to Emmaus, the disciples encounter Jesus is a surprising way, revealing how we too can encounter the Risen Christ today!
The High-way
Mark Howard
At the cross we see humanity’s sin at it’s darkest, but we also witness the righteousness of Christ shine brightest. As the centurion declares in Luke 23:47, “certainly this man was innocent!”
The Crossroads
Mark Howard
In Luke 23, we discover that the cross of Christ met with a wide range of responses: mourning and mockery, sadness and scoffing. The same is true today. But, in the surprising response of one individual, we see how we all ought to respond to the death of Jesus.
The Shepherd’s Heart
Mark Howard
So far we have considered the character, competence and calling of elders in Titus 1 and 1 Timothy 3. In 1 Peter 5, we see that an elder should model his ministry on that of the Good Shepherd.
The Elder’s Competence & Calling
Mark Howard
The church is God’s family, and it’s leaders are called to act like spiritual ‘fathers’. In 1 timothy 3:1-7, we see what this implies for the things we should look for in an elder.

Striving for Growth
Derek Coyle
“Let go and let God” – is that the approach we should take when it comes to growing in maturity? Peter suggests otherwise as we consider the call to strive for growth in 2 Peter 1:3-15.
Misery and Mercy
Mark Howard
The first step to solving any big problem is determining an accurate diagnosis. Genesis 3 provides us with a shocking diagnosis of the human condition and points to an even more surprising solution!
The declaration of independence
Mark Howard
After any great sporting victory, we love to do a play by play analysis. In Genesis 3:1-7 God provides a play by play, not of a great victory, but a tragic defeat. As our earliest parents face temptation, we witness a turning point that explains why the world is the way it is. It’s also […]
The world we all want
Mark Howard
Family history is important and Genesis 2-3 takes us back to consider the story of our very earliest parents. This week we look at the glorious world God created for them, and consider how this makes sense of our deepest desires and longings.
