Jesus was asked by the Pharisee's what the greatest commandment was. His response was to love God with all your heart, soul and mind and the second was to love our neighbour as ourselves. In the second part of his Worship Is message Jamie explores who our neighbour is and how we can learn to love them and introduce them to Jesus.

We are all wired to worship. But the question is what are we worshipping? In a tropical jungle a man bows before a crude stick figure; in a fantastic Asian temple another burns incense before a richly decorated Buddha. A small group of people meets in an unobtrusive house in a small town to sing and pray together. A man in an affluent suburb spends the entire morning meticulously washing and waxing his foreign-made sports car. A teenage girl listens adoringly to her favorite rock star in her poster-plastered bedroom. All of these people are worshiping. In some cases, the worship is formal and easy to recognize. In others, most people would hesitate to call it worship at all. But everyone worships something or someone, and what you worship has a great influence on what you are. In this message Pastor Jamie begins a season reflecting on worship.

After Jesus is raised from the dead He meets His disciples in an upper room. Showing them His scars and then commissioning them to go He breathes upon them saying 'receive the Holy Spirit.' This was the beginning of new creation, of God breathed living. In this message Pastor Jamie reminds us of the life we have in Christ and how it is easy to lose the vibrancy of it but we can get it back.

Bitesize 15th March - Invest, Sacrifice & Trust. Last Sunday was mothers day and as part of that service we looked at three mothers in the Bible explored how they as mothers invest, sacrifice and trust God. Whether we are parents or not we all can take these three steps with others around us but in particular we can take these steps by helping a mother through Compassion's child sponsorship program.

When we feel ground down and exhausted, Jesus makes us an astonishing offer: a light yoke and an easy burden. And He really means it! It seems a paradox, but genuinely fruitful ministry that will have value for eternity comes only when we enter into that rest through the gateway of brokenness and learn to depend completely on Him.

In the Old Testament, God gave His people the Law. When Jesus came, He stated plainly that He had not come to do away with the Law but to fulfil it. If we understand how this works, we will resist the temptation to set ourselves up as nit-picking “guardians of the truth” but will be guided by the Law that is now written on our hearts. We will humble ourselves before God and before each other.

Our God is an awesome God. But His children can come boldly into His presence without being afraid — we are absolutely secure and safe. And if this God is for us, who can be against us? We need fear no one and nothing except God Himself, and the fear of God is not a cringing mistrust but a deep awe of His great majesty and holiness.

Past experiences, what others say and our struggles to break free of sin can leave us feeling that there is something fundamentally wrong with us. The truth is that we have become completely new people who can break the cycle of returning time and again to the same old sin issue. In Christ we have become completely new creations at the core of our being!

Unashamed! - Audio

Many of God’s people struggle with a low-grade fever of guilt which makes us “act like we think a Christian should act”. Understanding that we have been declared not guilty once and for all brings us back to a real relationship with God where we can be ourselves and do what we do purely out of love. In Christ we measure up in full to God’s righteous demands!

Innocent! - Audio

We all know that we are saved by grace through faith alone. Yet when it comes to living out our Christian lives, it’s easy to slip into thinking that it comes down to obeying a set of rules or living up to certain standards. But God is not looking for slaves who obey because they have to — instead, He wants to free us to rest in His grace so that we serve Him because we really want to.
