Title: Does God Heal Today? By: Tim Chilvers Bible Reading: Acts Chapter 4, verses 13-22 Recorded: Sunday 02/02/2020 at our Bournville Gathering. Description: Part of our teaching series called '#AGAIN' looking at the early chapters in the book of Acts in the Bible. Our hope and prayer as we explore these studies together is that God would begin to awaken us to what he is doing and will do again. Maybe, just maybe, we might dare to see extraordinary things happen among us! Does God Heal Today? Video - https://vimeo.com/386940128/cd99d3c637 Have you ever felt utterly helpless? A situation when circumstances are completely out of your control, and you just have to hope that something, anything, happens to change those things and you can’t do anything about it. When we look at the ancient world, we easily forget that they lived lives that were largely out of their control. When illness came, or difficult times, there was often nothing they could do about it. They knew both what hope looked like, and what fals

Maybe, just maybe, we might dare to see extraordinary things happen among us! Does Prayer Make Any Difference? Video - https://vimeo.com/388228991/2d964a852c In survey after survey, most people admit to praying at some point in their lives. Whether or not people do it as some sort of superstition, or genuinely believe that prayer works, most of us pray. Why? Perhaps it is because we all need hope beyond ourselves. As a society, we want to believe we are in control of our destiny. But at some point we all realise that we aren’t. Things happen, life doesn’t work out how we planned. And it is then t

Video - https://vimeo.com/386514421/ee8114f027 In a recent interview, a Silicon Valley executive confessed that "I don’t want the world to be fixed, if I’m not the one fixing it". It was an honest admission that many of us can identify with. We want to be in on the action, playing our part in history. We want our lives to really count. We want the story of our lives to be one that is worth telling! But what if the story of our lives is actually not about us at all? What if we are really part of a mu

Maybe, just maybe, we might dare to see extraordinary things happen among us! I Believe In Miracles: When you hear stories of miracles, what kind of person are you? Do you get excited by it and instantly believe? Or, are you like most of us...a natural skeptic? In 1975, the band Hot Chocolate sang the famous lyrics “I believe in miracles, that’s what you are...’ (We all know the next lyric!! Ahem.) Of course, it’s a song about relationships and desire, but what if we all actually do believe in miracles? I mean, whether or not you’re a believer in God, where did ever

Maybe, just maybe, we might dare to see extraordinary things happen among us! The World We All Want: Everywhere we look, people want to change the world. From climate change to poverty, from political reform to issues of security, everyone wants a better world. What about you? What kind of world do you long for? When you dream about the kind of world that could be, what is it like? How do people relate? What happens? What doesn’t happen? In the ancient world, life was very hard. With no welfare state or NHS it was up to you, and those around you, to survive and get by. We can easily forget just how precarious life

Title: I Can't Help It (Acts 4:20) When we think of the word ‘Christian’, we tend to think of an established religion with churches, prayer and doing good things. But when we look back to the very first Christians, we get to see something much more raw and unstructured. The book of Acts is simply an account by eyewitnesses of the very first Christians. What becomes very clear, very quickly, is that something dramatic had happened…this wasn’t an attempt at establishing a religion, or starting an institution. They were simply a random group of peopl

Title: You Are More Than This By: Nathanael Ballew Bible Reading: Matthew Chapter 6, Verses 5-14 Description: Part of our teaching series called 'Everyday You'; looking at the impact we can have in our everyday worlds. Wherever we find ourselves, whatever we find ourselves doing, we have the possibility of seeing the good news of Jesus at work. Recorded: Sunday 10/11/2019 at our Moseley / Kings Heath gathering. You Are More Than This: ‘And, what do you do for a living?’ It’s a common question, and shows how often our work and daily lives define us. We easily find our identity in our work rather than anything else. But the good news of Jesus completely redefines our identity. We no longer get our sense of worth from what we do, but from who we are in Jesus. For guests, this is an opportunity to realise that they are more than what they do. Jesus rewrites everything.

Title: Whatever You Put Your Hands To By: Judy Moore & Ruby Worthington Bible Reading: Colossians Chapter 3, Verses 15-24 (Focus – Verse 23) Description: Part of our teaching series called 'Everyday You'; looking at the impact we can have in our everyday worlds. Wherever we find ourselves, whatever we find ourselves doing, we have the possibility of seeing the good news of Jesus at work. Recorded: Sunday 03/11/2019 at our Bournville gathering. Whatever You Put Your Hands To: Sometimes our lives seem insignificant. Sometimes, we wonder if the places that we spend the majority of our time, the jobs we do, the responsibilities we have, actually achieve anything of value. In this passage, we begin to see the worth of everything. That everything has potential to be of worth - as an act of worship. For guests who aren’t yet Christians, this theme enables them to see the potential of even the tiniest acts. Small things really are big things, because we have a heavenly father who is interested in every aspect
