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.

Esau and Jacob

Revd Graham Coldman explores the relationship between Esau and Jacob. Jacob used an elaborate deception to obtain his brother’s birthright. This deception overshadowed Jacob’s life for the next 20 years. Esau and Jacob were reconciled in an encounter with echoes from the parable of the prodigal son. Despite a life built on lies and deception, God’s purpose was fulfilled trough Jacob. God has a plan for each one of us and can use us for His purposes irrespective of our past failing

Presence, Refreshing Valleys and Banquets

Revd. Keith Saynor takes us through Romans 15 v 22-24, explaining how we need to avoid disappointment taking over our lives and how our attitude should be to focus on God.
