What do you thirst for? We all thirst for something, but the world's wells will always leave us wanting more. Jesus offers us living water; a love that knows us, forgives us and satisfies us completely. The story of the woman at the well challenges us to love everyone like we are running out of time.

What if Jesus was the solution to a problem you did not know you had? In John 3 Nicodemus comes to meet with Jesus. He can see God is at work and has some questions. What follows challenges everything Nicodemus understands about who he is and God’s love. And what he discovers is a truth that changes lives.

We look for joy in all sorts of places, but what happens when the wine runs out? Through a wedding in Cana and a dramatic moment in the temple, Jesus reveals that he is the source of lasting joy and the way to know God.

What do you do when you’ve trusted God; taken a step of faith and then the wobbles come? Did I do the right thing? What is God up to? Looking at Genesis 15, Wayne explores how God responds to Abraham's wobble. Meeting fear with reassurance. Doubt with the bigger picture. And uncertainty with security.

Our testimonies should always point people to Jesus. In John 1, we explore how encountering Jesus shapes our stories, challenges us to consider His question, “What do you want?”, and invites us to share our faith with others by saying, “Come and see.”

This week, James continues looking at Abraham's life and helps us to think about how we can live by faith and not by fear.

It's easy to leave when our hearts aren't in it, but how do we respond when God calls us to leave what we love? Wayne begins our morning series on Abraham: learning to live a life by faith. Abraham's life of faith begins with a call God. What does a life that follows God's call look like? If you're new to B&A find out more here: babristol.org

We don’t serve to earn God’s love; we serve because we are already loved. Jesus’ life teaches us to see, love and serve others. 1 John chapter 3:16-18 & Matthew 25:34-40

Denise continued our series by talking about how 'At B&A we...bless others'. She talks about how what we do isn't the starting point of blessing others; the starting point is understanding that we have a God who sees us and knows us; how we live our lives and bless others comes from the overflow of what He has poured into our own lives through the Holy Spirit, making us rich in every way so we can be generous at all times.  If you're new to B&A find out more here: babristol.org/newhere

This Sunday, James took us through Psalm 23, unpacking that at B&A we rely on the Holy Spirit and we can do that because He's the Champion, He's trustworthy and He can change our desires.If you're new to B&A find out more here: babristol.org/newhere

What do we do with the “what’s next?” moments in life? When a new chapter of our story begins, but the page ahead feels blank, where do we turn?Looking at Romans 5, Wayne explores how the good news of Jesus gives us the hope and confidence to step into the next chapters of our story, whatever they may hold.If you're new to B&A find out more here: babristol.org/newhere

Ezekiel 43:1–7, 47:1–12 and 48:35 with Wayne Massey We finish our series in Ezekiel with a powerful image of what God is doing in our world and the invitation for us to take part in it.

Colossians 4:2–18 with Chris Toms. Chris Toms finishes off our Colossians series, exploring what it means to be a praying church, a wise church and a connected church.

In Ezekiel 37 God takes Ezekiel to a valley full of dry bones. Can they live? The simple answer is no. Wayne explores why and how with God the answer is yes.

It was wonderful to have Rob Scott-Cook with us on Sunday talking about living life overflowing with the Holy Spirit.
