As Jerusalem was to the Psalmist, so is the Church to the Christian. Bob opens up this lovely psalm showing us why the believer can share the psalmist's delight and echo his words, "I was glad when they said to me, let us go to the house of the LORD"
Jesus is King and he will come to judge in rightoeusness and make all things well. While we wait, he sows seeds of light and joy in his people to harvest when he comes. Listen in as Simon takes us into Psalm 97 where he hear about God the majestic king and the reason the whole earth will rejoice when he comes.
Of all people, it's hard to imagine David, chosen & anointed by God as Israel's king in such despair that he feels like God has forgotten & forsaken him. Yet many believers down the ages have felt similarly, but within a few verses, David somehow ends in a very different place to where he began, marvelling at God's goodness to him - listen in to learn what changed in him.
In complex and messy circumstances in facing adversity, confusion and the weight of his own sin, David lifts his soul up to God to plead with him and remember who God is. Join in as we hear from Psalm 25 about how to throw ourselves onto God in difficult situations and what it means to wait on the Lord Jesus.
In the first of our Summer Psalms, Bob shows us how David longs for one thing above all else when in dire trouble - unbroken fellowship with the Lord, and helps us see how Christ has gloriously earned that for us in the Gospel.

As Jesus announces himself as Lord of the Sabbath—weary sinners are invited to enter into God's endless Shabbat Shalom…
Jesus encounters Levi, the tax collector, whom many would have written off as 'beyond redemption'. In this glorious salvation story, Jesus 'sees' with eyes of grace and love, a God-image bearer so broken and ruined by sin and chooses him to be in the bride of Christ!
You think you know what you need. Jesus says you might be wrong. Four friends drop a paralysed man at the feet of Jesus, fully expecting a miracle. What they get is something far more surprising, and far more costly. In this message Lewis Roderick takes us to chapter 5: 17 - 26 as learn what it tells us about the identity of Jesus, the nature of our deepest need, and why the cross is where these…
In this standalone message, Pete Greasley encourages us to respond to a broken world with grace and humility and to fix our eyes on our ultimate hope- our eternal inheritance with Christ.
