  • The Great Divorce 06 - The Artist and the Grumbler - Chapter 9b

    18/02/2018 Duración: 24min

    We often tell ourselves “I need to get more organized!” It might be true, but perhaps the more important question is this – what is my life organized around ? What organizes me ? Today we look at three people who organized their lives around very different things and how those choices changed their destiny. We look at the Grumbling Woman and the Artist that C.S. Lewis depicts in the Great Divorce, and we compare them to the Psalmist who wrote Psalm 131. Come join us for a fun but convicting look at how NOT to live your life!

  • The Great Divorce 05 - The Embarassed Woman - Chapter 8

    11/02/2018 Duración: 23min

    When you think about it, few things paralyze, cripple, and stunt a person’s soul more than… shame. Today we join C.S. Lewis as he shows us “The Embarrassed Woman” so we can understand how to pride, guilt, and shame go together. There is a huge difference between healthy guilt and debilitating shame. It is the difference between the road to hope and the road to despair. This is a challenging podcast, but what we can discover on the other side of shame is is a way of living where we never have to listen to shame again !

  • The Great Divorce 04 - Ikey and the Hardbitten Man - Chapters 6 & 7

    04/02/2018 Duración: 25min

    Do I lean towards Optimism, Do I lean towards Pessimism, Or do I lean on Jesus? Today we discover that two very common sense approaches to life actually keep us from seeing the Kingdom of God. We take a look at two characters in the Great Divorce, Ikey the Business Man and the Hard-bitten man in order to avoid two dead-end streets. We end with the incredible words of Isaiah 61:10 which show us the way to live which is life indeed!

  • The Great Divorce 03 - The Bishop - Chapter 5

    28/01/2018 Duración: 28min

    How do you know if a spiritual leader is leading you closer to God or farther away ? Today we come to the story of the Bishop in C.S. Lewis’s The Great Divorce. We begin with a dramatic reading from the book. Join us as we dig in to 1 Timothy 3:1-17 to learn not only what a false teacher looks like but also what a great spiritual leader looks like.

  • The Great Divorce 02 - The Big Man - Chapter 4

    21/01/2018 Duración: 24min

    Have you ever met people who have a litany ? A litany of all the reasons why they are OK and why all their problems are somebody else’s fault ? It’s not just other people – all of us are tempted to be full of excuses, finding ways to tell ourselves that we are right, that we are righteous. This tendency cuts us off from the very life of freedom and grace that God wants for us. Join us today as we meet the person C.S. Lewis calls “The Big Man” who was full of excuses and out of grace. And we discover that there is a way to live out of excuses and into grace!

  • The Great Divorce 01 - The Road you are one - Preface through Chapter 3

    14/01/2018 Duración: 26min

    Are you facing any choices in your life right now ? Have you noticed recurring streams of thought – on going conversations you have with yourself about yourself or about others that you know are no good ? Today we begin our sermon series on the Great Divorce when C.S. Lewis comes on stage and shares with us a piece from his Introduction. Lewis shows us how our choices and streams of thought are connected. We look at Proverbs 16 and Romans 13:12-14 to understand Lewis’ premise – streams of thought lead to streams of choices which shape who we become and where we end up.

  • The Last Arrow

    07/01/2018 Duración: 24min

    The New Year can be a great time to think about where we are, where we want to be, and most importantly, who we want to be in the year ahead. Erwin McManus’s new book, The Last Arrow, is a challenge to live life well and live life large – to the glory of God. Join us as we take a look at what it means to be willing to step out into your future with God.

  • Advent #3 - Today, if you hear His voice...

    17/12/2017 Duración: 25min

    If the Holy Spirit of the living God were to come to you (in the middle of everything you are facing in your life right now), and ask you a question… what would it be ? Stop and think about it for a moment. Is God asking you a question right now ? Today we look at the stories of Elizabeth and Simeon – two ordinary people who were able to recognize the presence of the Messiah. It was the Holy Spirit of God within them that allowed them to perceive his presence beneath the surface of things. The same can be true for you!

  • Advent #2 - Deep calls to Deep...

    10/12/2017 Duración: 28min

    It is one thing to read an old book and there find sayings from a long dead author that you find very meaningful. It is quite another thing to believe that, by the power of the Holy Spirit, God speaks in the present tense to you through the ancient words of scripture. Does this actually happen ? Is it bad theology to think it does ? Were the first Christians right in believing that the Old Testament contains prophesies that predicted the coming of the Messiah, and further, that there were so many pointing to Jesus that it would be almost impossible to fake it ? Join us today as we jump into the deep end and examine how the Holy Spirit makes “the Word of God is living and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.” (Hebrews 4:12)

  • Advent #1 - Wise Men still seek Him...

    03/12/2017 Duración: 26min

    What if our natural curiosity, our desire to know the truth about Science, Nature, Philosophy, Art … is a gift from God, meant to lead us to the source of all those things – The maker of Heaven and Earth. The Advent Story reveals that the Holy Spirit of God is at work in those far away and far from God, in ways we can’t begin to understand. Join us as we find the very Jewish gospel of Matthew telling us how pagan astrologers from Babylon ended up perceiving what all kinds of “religious” people failed to see.

  • James 5:7-20 Thanksgiving and the Three Practices of a Flourishing FaithUntitled Recording Nov 28 9:10am

    26/11/2017 Duración: 29min

    Thanksgiving – or the practice of giving thanks – turns out to be far more essential for our happiness than we realize. It also forms the foundation of the life of faith. And the book of James builds upon that foundation of faith and asks “OK, if I really have placed my faith in Jesus, then how should I live ?” This Thanksgiving weekend, we go back to the basics of the gospel then discover that James builds a three legged stool for the life of faith upon it. He gives us three practices for how to live here and now in this world while connected to God and eternity at the same time.

  • James, Paul, Luther, and how the 500th Anniversary of the Reformation is for you!

    30/10/2017 Duración: 29min

    On the 500th anniversary of the Reformation, it turns out that the truth Martin Luther re-discovered is exactly what we need in our own lives today. Join us as we dig into the book of James and the teaching of Paul and discover that rather than contradicting each other, James and Paul warn us of two different ways to live our lives in a a Cul de Sac and thus reveal to us the narrow way to freedom, truth and satiety found in Jesus!

  • James 1 18-27 The Mirror of the Word of God

    15/10/2017 Duración: 29min

    This morning we start with two questions: #1 -What is the bible really? #2 Could a simple image from a comic book from the 1930’s change the way you see the world ? This morning we look at the scriptures the way James saw them so we can understand why he calls them a mirror. It turns out that the bible acts like a mirror in three ways – it collects and reflects God’s message so that we can see it, it gives us a clear reflection of our sin, and it also reflects who we are in Christ. Many of us struggle to be able to see that third reflection – a portrait of who we are and who we are becoming. But once you do, it changes everything. Join us for this, our second podcast as we work through the Book of James.

  • James 1 1-19 The Fellowship of the King

    08/10/2017 Duración: 30min

    In Tolkein’s “The Lord of the Rings”, a band of friends sets out together, and encourage each other towards virtue and courage. In the same way, real Christianity could be called “The Fellowship of the King“, because we too are called to encourage each other towards virtue and courage – for we have been adopted into the the household of the one true King. And we have been sent out to be about His business. The book of James was written for those willing to take such a journey. It is one of the most practical and challenging books of the New Testament. This Fall, join us on an immersive eight week adventure through the Book of James. We will find that he calls upon us to Seize the Day – to live it with fierce joy for God.

  • Vital Signs #3 - How am I doing spiritually, Really ?

    01/10/2017 Duración: 29min

    In the last of our Vital Signs series, we ask how am I doing Spiritually really ? We look at four gauges from Acts, and three messages we need to hear from God. But first we learn why our Pastor cut the tip off his finger last week.

  • Vital Signs #2 - How healthy is my realationship with money, Really ?

    25/09/2017 Duración: 32min

    How is your relationship with money -really ? It turns out that the bible has a lot to say about the impact our finances have on our spiritual life. The very practical self-evaluation you can do with this podcast will help you treat money the way that God intended, and that leads to both freedom and generosity.

  • Vital Signs #1 How am I doing in my relationships, really ?

    17/09/2017 Duración: 30min

    When asked why they waited too long before they went to see a doctor, most people replied “Because I didn’t want to hear bad news.” We can’t get better if we are not willing to face reality, to look at what our vital signs tell us versus what we want to believe is true. Today we take a hard honest look at our relational health, and measure ourselves against scripture.

  • A fierce prayer for starting off your Fall - Jabez meet Micha

    10/09/2017 Duración: 29min

  • Spring House: The gift of Orthodoxy for Postmodern Pilgrims

    30/07/2017 Duración: 29min

    We have been brought up to be very suspicious of words like Dogma, Doctrine, and Orthodoxy. Many of us have an emotional reaction to those words - they sound rigid, unthinking, prejudice, old fashioned, the kinds of words that people with closed minds hold on to. And when these words are abused they can function that way. But it turns out that real orthodoxy can serve as a map that leads me out of the cramped universe I constructed for myself into the wide open spaces with Jesus where living water is found. Today we take an intense dive into the philosophical waters of our day in order to discover that what we need now more than ever is the Spring House of Orthodoxy.
