The early chapters of the book of the Acts of the Apostles are full of rapid and dramatic change. With the amazing news of Jesus’s resurrection still fresh, the first Christians also learned how to live their daily lives in a new way and create new communities of faith. Jesus still wants His people to be responsive to His leading so let’s learn from the brilliant examples we have in Acts.
Everyday Prayer14/06/2020 | Dan Hudson This is the first message in a brand new series called Acts and the New Normal. It’s all about how we can learn from the approach the early Christians took in the face of massive challenge and change in their everyday lives and how God used those challenges and changes to further his purposes and see the world come to know Jesus. We often discover what kind of people we are when faced with solitude and spare time. Most of us find we’re not primarily “constant in prayer people”. But we’re all on a journey in prayer. We have places to go in this important area, and the story of the early church in Acts encourages and helps us on our way.

Everyday Leadership26/07/2020 | Dan Hudson and Hannah Kelly The church in Jerusalem that we read about in Acts had many strong leadership gifts; leadership isn’t the preserve of the few, and God wants his church to be filled with leaders and influencers – in church, in culture, in homes, in work. Hannah and Dan discuss what that can look like for us today. To download, right click here and use 'Save Link As...' |
