Moses and the Golden Bull

God reveals his character and the fullness of the covenant made with his people. Even in the times when God appears to be silent and therefore absent, we are called to remain in obedience to his laws, to live and serve as priests of a holy nation in obedience and trust in God. Then His presence, grace and mercy will fill every aspect of our lives. Jesus made a way for all of us to know the fullness of God in our lives, not something we can buy, but a free gift for all.

Beauty for Ashes, Oaks of Righteousness

Revd Steve Prince unpacks Isaiah 61 1-7, we explore the character of father God and understand what God has done in our lives, establishing us as oaks of righteousness, reminding us of strength and endurance. We are called into the priesthood of believers, ministering to one another, encouraging and building each other up in the faith.

Moses & Passover

We explore the parallels between Passover and the plan of salvation – Passover reminds us how God recued his people from a dark and oppressive ruler. These events foreshadow the salvation that God has made available to all people. Passover provides God’s people with a reminder of what God had done for them. Breaking bread together, offers an opportunity to reflect, remembering what God has done for us and what he can do for dark and needy world.

Call of Moses

Revd. Julia Binney goes through Exodus 3, where God shows himself to Moses via the burning bush and explains who I AM.

Joseph in a foreign land

Joseph was exiled to a foreign land where he demonstrated great wisdom and integrity in his dealings with pharaoh. Joseph was drawn into the culture of Egypt, becoming an Egyptian without compromising his relationship with God – even pharaoh recognised the spirit of God in him. Like Joseph, we must live authentic godly lives in whatever "land" God has placed us.

Trusting in God's promises & provision

Richard explores the life of Joseph – how throughout his life he was wronged and treated badly by those who were closest to him. Joseph leaned to trust is God’s promises and provision and God blessed him and made him successful in all he did. We see echoes of this in Jesus’ life and death – the actions of those who wanted to kill him resulted in the salvation of the world.
