Making new disciples
Jesus is what people need the most, and making disciples is the mission he’s given us – what does that mean? Why and how should we do it?
Ben has been vicar (lead pastor) of Christ Church since August 2021.
Jesus is what people need the most, and making disciples is the mission he’s given us – what does that mean? Why and how should we do it?
We explore our vision statement: we long to see God’s name honoured, his kingdom come, lives transformed.
If you want to know life in all its fullness for yourself, you need Jesus because it’s only found in him.
Whatever we do – big or small, obvious or hidden, paid or unpaid, job or hobby – we do it all for an audience of one.
How does God enable us to bear fruit in our daily lives? We look at a range of Bible passages to explore fruitfulness in the Bible.
Job tells us we can trust God, even when we don’t understand why things are as they are.
Evil and death are too strong for me – but they are not too strong for Jesus. He alone can rescue.
Elihu is much maligned, but he calls us to listen to God, ignore Satan’s lies, and put our trust in the Almighty God.
The book of Job does answer our questions, not as we might want but as we need: God gives us himself.
In that deepest, darkest of nights Job saw clearly that however much he felt God was against him, ultimately God was for him.
Job finally expresses his bitter soul and the pain he feels inside – but are there any seeds of hope in his deep darkness?
God is sovereign – and gives terrible permissions to Satan. Though he doesn’t understand, Job still finds a way to worship God.
