Grace Church Nottingham

We continue our series preaching through the book of 2 Samuel as part of our Compassion Sunday, where we look at chapter 9. Here we meet Mephibosheth and see the way David wants to show the kindness of God to him, despite him being from the lineage of King Saul. In the way David treats Mephibosheth we learn of the immeasurable kindness of God in Christ towards us.

This week in our series working through the book of 2 Samuel, we find King David bringing the ark of the covenant back to Jerusalem, but it's not all smooth sailing. In fact, we find that it's only down to the providence of God that it all gets turned for good in the end.

This week in our series in 2 Samuel, Tim preaches on chapter five where we see all the tribes of Israel uniting to anoint David as King. Tim preaches on the nature of unity in the church and the kingship of Christ as the factor that brings us together.

It's the final week in our Abiding in the Vine series and in our 9.15am service, Austin preaches on the remainder of John 15. He digs into the challenge of these verses, in particular how it calls us to be all in for Jesus, but that we must do that all together.

It's the final week in our Abiding in the Vine series and in our 7pm service Hannah preaches on the remainder of John 15. She explores what it looks like to be in the world but not of the world and what that means for how we leave out and speak up for the Gospel.

In week three of our 'Abiding in the Vine' series, we reach the turn in John 15 where Jesus moves from talking about abiding in the vine to abiding in His love. Chris unpacks that invitation, showing the obedience Jesus is asking for, and we discover the heart response Jesus is seeking.

In the second week of our Abiding In The Vine series, JP looks at verses 4-8 from John 15. We receive the encouragement that to abide is to slow down, to remain and linger, but our doing so is only possible by coming to Christ before anything else.

In the last of our series exploring the life of Abraham, Tim preaches from Romans 4 where Paul talks about Abraham's justification coming from faith alone.
