Colin brings us the last topic in our WATPOG series. Referring to Gideon’s journey of faith, Judges chapter 6, where Gideon journeys from a place of unbelief to a place finally daring to believe that God is going to do something through him.

Nigel wraps up the "We are the People of God" teaching series with a look at Courage, considering the examples of Gideon and Peter who both learnt to see their situations with God's eyes. Can we too find courage to press on and believe in a different reality, and who are the people around us who can help in this?

As we think about serving communities near and far, sharing good news and building relationships, Andy and Val Simcock talk about their work in Thailand over the last 10 years, and Laura Vann launches a new River Maidenhead CAP initiative: Fresh Start.

Rachel talks about 'courageous impossible-ness', looking at stories of the impossible in the bible, where God does the impossible in our lives, and where God asks us to step out with him into the impossible.

We serve our communities ; - Through the ministry of reconciliation - By using spiritual gifts - Through prayer - Through practical involvement.

In this penultimate talk in the 'We are the People of God' series, Colin explains that God's primary aim since Jesus' ascension has always been to reach out to every human through the Church. He challenges us by asking how are we serving our local community? How are we serving internationally? And are we sowing generously or sparingly?

Colin answers more of our questions about the bible as we explore what it means to see the goodness of God.

Freddy brings inspiring accounts of how (in the name of / through the power of Jesus) Asha has transformed the lives of thousands of children from Delhi slums through educational and other programmes over the past 30 years.
