No Answer: 3 – When God is Late
Ian Gray
Why doesn’t God do something about that? It’s a question that frustrates all of us at times – whatever “that” might be. Why is it that sometimes God doesn’t do what we expect him to do, given what we know about his love, his mercy, his character? And if he doesn’t, can we still trust [ more… ]
No Answer: 2 – When God won’t co-operate
Ian Gray
What happens when we’re praying about something really important, something that really means a lot to us, but God won’t give us what we’re asking for? That’s what the apostle Paul experienced.
No Answer: 1 – When God doesn’t pay attention
Ian Gray
We often talk about how God answers our prayers. But what happens when he doesn’t? What about those times when it seems God just isn’t paying attention, or doesn’t want to co-operate, or is late? Is it our fault – are we doing something wrong? That’s the theme of our new series starting today.

Nehemiah pt 2: What is it that you want?
Ian Gray
Last week we started a series journeying through the book of Nehemiah. Even though he was a Jewish exile in Babylon, Nehemiah’s highly successful career had placed him in a senior position in the King’s palace. But having heard of the desolate condition of Jerusalem, Nehemiah was prepared to put both his career and his [ more… ]
Acts part 4: Bold
Ian Gray
The “simple” healing at the beginning of chapter 3 gives rise to another opportunity to tell people about Jesus, which nearly sets off a riot and (by chapter 4) gets Peter and John arrested. When they get out by the skin of their teeth, how does the rest of the church react? Unfortunately there is [ more… ]
Prayer
Ian Gray
We’ve been doing a lot of praying recently – and there’ll be plenty more in the weeks and months to come! So this morning we’re going to be talking about what prayer is exactly – why do we do it? What’s the point? How should we do it, and how can we get better at [ more… ]
