Hope on a Hill
Ian Gray
Continuing our series looking at the idea of Hope – not just a vague yearning for something that realistically is unlikely to happen but the Biblical idea of hope as “the confidence that what God has done for us in the past guarantees our participation in what God will do in the future”. This week [ more… ]
Hope out of Town
Ian Gray
We’re in a series looking at the idea of Hope – not just woolly, blind optimism, but the Biblical idea of hope based on God’s promises. Last week we uncovered God’s hopes for creation, and today we’re thinking about how God’s hope saved and sustained his people at a time when they were out of [ more… ]
Hope in the Garden
Ian Gray
We start our new series at the beginning – it being a very good place to start – looking at God’s hopes for creation, and his hopes for us, and what happened…

Would you like a gift? God has chosen the perfect gift for each person in the church; the strange thing is that many of us don’t know what we’re supposed to do with our gift, others don’t try to use it, and some of us don’t even know that we’ve been given a gift let [ more… ]

This week we’re looking at what may be a familiar passage from Galatians 5, where Paul discusses the Fruit of the Spirit. But how are we supposed to grow that fruit? What do we need to do in order to get it? And what’s that got to do with the Holy Spirit? Apologies that there [ more… ]
Third Person: 3 – Power to Live!
Ian Gray
We’re in a series looking at the Holy Spirit – that person of the Trinity that we often get so confused and nervous about. Paul the Apostle wrote a good deal about the Holy Spirit, and this morning we’re taking a brief look at one of his most famous passages: Romans 8. It has lots [ more… ]
Third Person: 2 – Don’t leave home without it
Ian Gray
The Celtic Christians had a name for the Holy Spirit that is really quite intriguing. They called him “the Wild Goose”. The name hints at the mysterious nature of the Holy Spirit. Much like a wild goose, the Spirit of God cannot be tracked or tamed. An element of danger and an air of unpredictability [ more… ]
