Science and the Bible (Psalm 19)

20/1/2020

Do the Bible and science contradict each other? If you accept the conclusions of science do you have to dismiss the Bible or alternatively if you hold to the Bible as God's inerrant authoritative word, then do you have to dismiss the conclusions of modern day science?

God, me and the Stars

13/1/2020

Many people today assume science has disproved the existence of God. Yet, the first scientists claimed they were thinking God's thoughts after him and actually many of the advances in modern science hint at a God who is behind our universe.

These are questions worth exploring. Not least because they touch on the meaning and purpose of our own existence.

15/12/2019

At first glance, the first chapter of the New testament is just a long boring list of names. But look deeper and you will see that it reminds us of the plans and promises God had been making from the time of Abraham and have now reached their fulfilment in Jesus Christ.

Who to respect (Romans 16:1-27)

This is the last passage from the letter to the Romans. It may have a daunting list of names, but when we focus on what messages and culture Paul is promoting through the greetings and doxology we discover some really helpful teaching.

Ambition can be very ugly and destructive, but when it is a godly ambition rooted in God's calling seeking God's aims and done in His power, then we can achieve amazing things like Paul.

United Nations (Romans 15:1-13)

10/11/2019

War throws up great examples of self-sacrifice, but it also makes us long for unity between nations. These are both things that the church is called to live out as it seeks to reflect the bigger picture of God's work.

Pursuing Peace (Romans 14:13-23)

3/11/2019

Christians often disagree on all kinds of issues. In first century Rome the big disagreement was over whether it was right for Christians to eat meat or not.

As we read Paul's response to this issue we learn some of the key principles of dealing with disagreements today.
