In today's passage from Mark we read about Jesus feeding 4000 with just a small number of loaves and fishes. But haven't we heard this before? Didn't Jesus just do this miracle?

Every Christian has a part to play in building Christ's church. But are we ready to serve? Doubt tries to convince us that we don't have anything to offer; in Romans 12:1-13, Paul encourages us to remember who we are - sinners saved by grace, given gifts by God to build up and serve one another.

Living life to the full with Jesus begins with knowing that the battle has already been won. Because we have received his unconditional love, we are free to live with confidence, joy and purpose rather than fear or striving. And from that place of being loved, we can share that same love with the people around us.Check out our other content on our YouTube channel or on Spotify!Contact us [email protected] out more at https://bartonchurch.org.uk

Change can be uncomfortable, especially when it takes us outside what we know and what feels safe. In the Bible, we see a God who is constantly doing something new and calling people to follow Him beyond their comfort zones. Are we willing to embrace what God is doing, or will we keep holding on to the way things have always been?Check out our other content on our YouTube channel or on Spotify!Contact us [email protected] out more at https://bartonchurch.org.uk

Hollywood and Mark present very different pictures of the source of evil and how it is overcome. For one, the answer is always human effort and ingenuity, but inevitably winning the fight but never the war. For the other, it takes a greater, supernatural power to vanquish evil. It takes a God. And His transformative power is altogether victorious. In this talk we shine a light on the story of the Gerasene demoniac, demonstrating Jesus’ almighty power over the forces of evil and his ability to heal the harm they have done.Check out our other content on our YouTube channel or on Spotify!Contact us [email protected] out more at https://bartonchurch.org.uk
