Spirit-Filled People

Ephesians 5:18

We know the Holy Spirit is important but sometimes we can lack confidence in relating to Him and understanding how He works. Here we look at what the Bible says about Him, and at how we can be filled with the Spirit as individual Christians.

Who's In Charge Around Here?

Leaving a legacy of people

2 Kings 2:1-15

Elijah was a man who made a mark and left a legacy. As his life ends (kind of!) we see that legacy, and it is not just a legacy of famous deeds and mighty miracles, but it's a legacy of people. Jonny explores how we can learn from Elijah in this by rejecting the lone ranger method of changing the world, and look to make our mark by investing in those around us.

We Can Be Like Elijah!

1 Kings 18:41-46

James 5:17-18 makes it very clear that Elijah isn't a spiritual superhero to gawp at, but an example to emulate. While our exploits of faith may look very different to his, we too are called to walk in his footsteps to advance God's kingdom in our lives and the key way we can do that is by putting prayer at the centre of our lives, as he did.

A Different Kind of Kindness

1 Kings 17:17-24

As Elijah gears up for his return to public ministry in Israel, he encounters a tragedy and responds with incredible kindness. What he models is a challenge to all of us to act the same: to keep our eyes open to the need around us and respond with kindness- a costly, selfless, compassionate kindness that is totally at odds with the expectations of the society around us.

A Season of Preparation

There’s so much more God wants to do in you, because there’s so much more he wants to do through you! In this talk we learn how Elijah developed humility, obedience, faith and perseverance.
