Don’t Let Doubt Freak You Out Part 1 (Nehemiah 4:1-10)

There’s something about doubt. The second we start to wonder if our faith might be all it’s cracked up to be, we find ourselves hitting the panic button. Oh no! I must be losing my faith! But is doubt something that really has to freak us out? In this first part of a series, we explore the subject of doubt and discover how it comes, why it comes, and how doubt can be one of our closest friends on the walk to spiritual maturity. Today we specifically look at how being ridiculed for our faith, can lead us to doubt it.

Should I Bother to Vote? (Nehemiah 2: 11-20)

Religion and Politics are often controversial subjects. Yet, is it really biblical for the church to leave the world of politics well alone. We learn from Nehemiah how we might approach the world of politics, and in particular voting, to help build the sort of kingdom God’s into. We also take a brief look at the claims of extremist parties like the BNP (British National Party).

God is Bigger than you Think (Jonah 1:1-17)

Is your view of God too small? We learn from Jonah that when we…

- Sleep Through Nature

- Get Absorbed in Ourselves
