When someone becomes a Christian—saved by grace, born again, forgiven, made alive—it's big news. And when they graduate to glory in the future, it's big news too. But what are we supposed to do in the meantime? What is Jesus' purpose for the present tense? In other words: What is the meaning of life?

That's the question this message from Benjamin Shanks aims to answer from Titus 2:1-15. This message will encourage you with a purpose for your life—that the riches of God's grace are available to teach you to do what is good!

OUR PAST IS GRACE;

OUR FUTURE IS GLORY;

OUR PRESENT IS GOOD.

Power. Titus 1:5-16 is about power in the church at Crete. In this message, Benjamin Shanks wades into the waters of power—what it is and what it's for. This message will challenge you to use the power to have to love God and others, the way Jesus did.

THE INTRODUCTION OF POWER;

THE DISTORTION OF POWER;

THE REDEMPTION OF POWER;

THE PERFECTION OF POWER.

The introduction to Paul’s letter to Titus… it’s a tricky passage in a tricky book. In this message, Benjamin Shanks kicks off our July sermon series by asking five simple questions of Titus 1:1-4 — WHO? WHAT? WHERE? WHEN? WHY? This message will encourage you to further the faith by growing in knowledge of the truth that leads to godliness. KNOW TRUTH, GROW GODLY.

In this message, Jonathan Shanks concludes our month's series looking at the Book of Hosea. God is:

1. OUR HEAVENLY FATHER;
2. OUR HOLY FATHER;
3. OUR HEALING FATHER .

The redeeming love of God the Father, pursues the unfaithful, pays a price, patiently waits and paves the way. This message will encourage you to know that God has made a way for you to make it through to restorative healing in Jesus.

God's love is not dependent on his people's faithfulness. He will keep His covenant promises because of the honour of His own name. This sermon will encourage you with the truth that "our sin does not have the last word".

This message unpacks the tragedy of the disobedience of the Northern Kingdom, the harsh yet loving language of Yahweh to his people and the unmissable connection we feel with the tragedy of sin. Be challenged and encouraged by the love and mercy of God.

Hosea is a book about the unfaithfulness of Israel in keeping their covenant promises before God. It is also a book which celebrates the shocking faithfulness of the one true God, ultimately demonstrated in His son the Lord Jesus Christ. Be encouraged by this sermon that God will always keeps his promises even if we don't.
