It’s easy to appear to do the right things without doing them in the right way. This is especially important in the Christian life: we need to do God’s work in God’s way. In this session we think about what that means, and how we need the empowering presence of the Holy Spirit to give us the love that we need.

In the previous session we thought about loving the church, but what about our other relationships? How should we relate to our family, friends, work colleagues, and so on? In this video we think about why relationships are fundamental and what they should look like.

In these final chapters of Romans, Paul is explaining how the gospel should make a difference to our lives. In this passage, we think about how we should be as a church: we should love one another sincerely. This is especially important when we are dealing with people who have done us wrong.

The church doesn’t talk much about loving God. We sing about it, and we talk about God a lot. But what does it really mean to love God? Especially when we can’t see him, and especially when he’s so much greater than us. How do we put our love for God into practice?

We have seen many examples of churches over the last few years where not everything has been as it appears. How can abusers come from what seem to be very active churches? In this letter to the church in Ephesus, we see what is vital to the health of a church.

This is a follow-up to last week’s video – what Song of Songs teaches us about love.
Proverbs is full of wisdom: wisdom is how to live in God’s world in God’s ways. Many people love to turn to Proverbs to discover what wisdom it contains for living everyday life. However, one of the problems with Proverbs is that the wisdom is not really categorised – it doesn’t come with an index system!
