	The Letter from James Part 6 (Chapter 5): Integrity, Perseverance and Prayer     Slides Nigel Rivers     17th August Nigel brings the final talk in our current series with a look at the last chapter. We cannot walk the way of the world if we want to live lives that are pleasing to Jesus. Will I choose to walk His way?
	Remembering Pete Hopkinson 10th August This Sunday meeting was the first after Pete Hopkinson's untimely passing; we postponed the planned teaching and instead the opportunity was given for members to share their thoughts and memories.
	The Letter from James Part 5 (Chapter 4) Anthea Wratten     3rd August We are not Jesus’ church if we simply reflect the world’s social, economic and political divisions. Anthea Wratten reflects on this extremely hard-hitting chapter which calls out some faults that we all tend to display. Let's be humble and submit to God.
	The Letter from James Part 4 (Chapter 3) - Our words, the window to our heart Geoff Wilson     27th July Geoff guides us as in considering the impact of our own words, the words of teachers, and the words of Jesus.
	The Letter from James Part 3 (Chapter 2) - Getting a Grip on Prejudice and Discrimination Andy Read     20th July Andy highlights that whilst this Chapter has a very simple message - showing favouritism is bad, treating people equally is good - it's a considerable challenge to put into action.
	The Letter from James Part 2 (Chapter 1) - The Wisdom of Jesus Anna Prinz     13th July Anna explains how it can be possible to “Consider it pure joy whenever you face trials of many kinds" and how we can be transformed by difficult times.
	FOMO - The Fear of Missing Out Alison Hopkinson     6th July Inspired by her new grandson Baby G, Alison talks about the Fear of Missing Out and what we can do to avoid it affecting our lives negatively..
	The Letter from James part 1 - Introduction     Slides Paul Wratten     29th June Paul introduces our new teaching series looking at the Book written by James (or should that be Jacob) "If we claim the name of Jesus, we have to follow the way of Jesus".
	Generosity Practice 4: Be Generous to the Poor John Mark Comer     22nd June The earliest Christians were marked by a disproportionate concern for the poor. Jesus' teachings about the poor challenged the prevailing values of a world focused on "takers" and "keepers." Jesus’ radical generosity towards the poor reflects his desire to free us to participate in his upside-down Kingdom. This Kingdom belongs to those who are "poor in spirit" and to "the least of these." Embracing radical generosity aligns us with Jesus’ mission and invites us into a new way of seeing the world.
	Generosity Practice 3: All We Have Belongs to God John Mark Comer     8th June Scripture encourages us to see wealth through the lens of stewardship, not ownership. The three components of a biblical theology of stewardship are: - God owns it all - We are entrusted by God with his resources to do good - God blesses us to give more, not just to have more. We are invited to discern with the Spirit what stewardship looks like for each of us in our particular season and circumstance. A key practice to this end is learning to listen to God’s voice about money and generosity.
	Generosity Jill Stonehill with Lina Read     1st June Just before the recording starts Jill talked to the children about the account of Elijah's interaction with the Widow of Zarephath and her son. In this part for the adults she picks up on the theme of generosity by interviewing Lina Read about the amazing extent to which God has enabled her business to fund charitable projects which support educational opportunities, particularly for those caught in poverty in the UK and overseas.
