Watch as Rory and Dean discuss the gruesome story of John the Baptist's death in Corona Chronicles today. Mark 6:16-29

There are countless different views about Jesus. What's your view? Rory and Pete find out people had differing ideas even as he lived 2000 years ago. Watch now in this very short episode of Corona Chronicles... Mark 6:14-16

Jesus sends his disciples out with an urgent message, the same one that's been preached in Britain for centuries. Are we listening? Rory and Dean ask that question in today's Corona Chronicles. Mark 6:7-13

Continuing our series in Luke, Chris takes us through Jesus' last meal with his disciples. In Luke 22: 7-38 Jesus shows his disciples and us the relevance of the passover meal. Jesus identifies with the sacrificial lamb that saved God's people from his judgment.

In his last sermon to the people of Israel Haggai reminds his listeners that though they live under a foreign authority God is the one in control. Rory shows us that God's unlike all the others, God's kingdom has been established forever. If you are a Christian then you should be a rebel. But if you’re thinking, ’I’m definitely a Christian, but I’m not a rebel’, listen to these words of Alice Cooper: ‘Drinking beer is easy. Trashing your hotel room is easy. But being a Christian, that’s a tough call. That’s real rebellion.’ The book of Haggai is a book that is all about learning to live rebelliously for the Lord. It tells the story of 2 houses: The Temple of the Lord, and the House of David. The temple is the place where we can meet God. The house of David represents the King of Kings and his kingdom. At the time in which the book was written, the remnant of Israel in Judah, were surrounded by foreign powers, who wer...

Have you noticed so far in this series how gentle Jesus is with people who come to him in faith? Ben and Pete explore another beautiful story of Jesus' miraculous power to heal. Mark 5:24-34

What happens when a 12 year-old girl dies because Jesus doesn't arrive on time to heal her? Find out in this true story from Mark's gospel with Ben and Pete. Mark 5:21-24 & 35-43

In our latest in the series on Haggai, Ben takes us through Haggai 2: 10-19. In this passage the prophet Haggai, through a parable, discusses how the Lord will deal with the people's defilement. I wonder whether you are familiar with the situation where you have spent a whole day not realising something embarrassing about your appearance, such as a piece of salad stuck in your teeth, or a piece of hair sticking up at the back of your head. Only those closest to you would point it out, as an act of kindness. In the book of Haggai, God demonstrates such kindness to the Israelites who are blindly unaware of the mistakes they are making, but seriously need to be made aware of them. As we have learned from recent sermons the Israelites have returned from exile in Babylon to Jerusalem which is in ruins. As God’s people, privileged with his presence, their first priority should have been to rebuild the temple, but they were distra...

Dean preaches from Luke 22: 1-6. Today's passage record's Judas' betrayal of Jesus. Dean take us through the narrative and asks where we see ourselves in the story.

After saving the demon-possessed man, Jesus then sends him out to be an evangelist. Ben and Pete discuss how amazing Jesus' love and mercy is on people who reject him. Mark 5:18-20

What does it look like to be demon-possessed? In today's story from Mark's gospel we see two different people who want Jesus to go away. Find out about them with Ben and Pete. Mark 5:15-20

In a supernatural battle between good and evil, who will win? Find out with Ben and Pete in Corona Chronicles: Crown Of Thorns. Mark 5:1-15

We continue looking at lessons from Haggai in a post-lockdown world, Tom takes us through Haggia 2:1-9. In this passage we see that the people have reason to despair, but God's faithful promises give them reason to rebuild. He gives his people encouragement to not fear, be strong and work.

What kind of man has power over a storm? Tom and Dean discuss one of the most mind-blowing acts of Jesus recorded in Mark's gospel. Mark 4:35-41

Faith in Jesus may seem small and insignificant, but it's like a tiny seed that grows into a great tree. Pete and Tom explain what that looks like today in Corona Chronicles. Mark 4:30-34

Jesus carries on the horticultural theme in this short parable. Pete and Dean explain how this encourages us to trust God and not worry. Mark 4:26-29

Pete introduces our new series in Haggai, beginning at Haggai 1:1-15. After years of living in a state of lockdown, God calls his people to rebuild His house, the temple. But we find that they have become discouraged, distracted and comfortable. Through Haggai, God calls them to stop saying it's not the right time, to give careful thought to their ways, and to start working for His glory again. Pete applies this to our present day; as we come out of coronavirus lockdown Christians should be encouraged to continue the work of building God's glorious church. Do you ever feel discouraged in the Christian life? As you think about your efforts to reach the lost, or whether your faith is growing, or how much you love the church, do you feel a lack of confidence and enthusiasm? 2,500 years ago, God’s people were facing such discouragement. About 50,000 of them had returned from exile with Zerubbabel, and they had a big job...

What have you done with the words of God? Tom and Ben explore Jesus' words in Mark 4. Mark 4:21-25
