Christianity in practice: James (10 January to 28 February)
Trials and temptation, riches and poverty, taming the tongue, making plans, worship that pleases God, faith and works, getting on with each other: the letter of James is famous for its emphasis on practicalities. But at a deeper level it also shows us how surprisingly different things look when we believe in God, and challenges us about how we can be signed-up believers, but actually live like atheists! Our Sunday morning sermons will be in parallel with reading James in our home groups.
- January 10: Very surprising wisdom - James 1:1-11
- January 17: Partnership Sunday: You’re in the church now!: Ephesians
On this important day we think afresh about how we are to be church together, in all the adventures and challenges before us, and reaffirm our own commitment for the year ahead. - January 24: Trial and temptation - James 1:12-18
- January 31: Man in the mirror - James 1:19-27
- February 7: Favouritism -James 2:1-13
- February 14: Put some life in your faith - James 2:14-26

The weekend that changed the world: John 18-20 (7 March to 4 April)
As Easter approaches we read an eyewitness account of what really happened that first Easter, in Jerusalem. And John does not just tell us the story; he interprets it to us so we are left in no doubt of its personal significance for each of us today.
- March 7: Arrest!! - John 18:1-11
- March 14: Two men on trial - John 18:12-26
- March 21: Man in two minds (1) - John 18:28-40

- Good Friday, April 2: Why did Jesus die? - John 19:17-42
- Easter Sunday, April 4: Bewilderment and belief - John 20:1-18
Sunday Evenings at 6.30 pm
- January 10: A new beginning: Genesis 8:13-9:17
- January 17: Partnership Sunday: Hand me another brick: Nehemiah 1-4
Face to face with Christ: John 9-13 (24 Jan to 28 Mar)
Over the centuries people have come up with many different ideas and explanations of Jesus. People today tell us it's all just a matter of interpretation. How refreshing, then, to get back to John's first-hand account. As we encounter the real Jesus on His final journey to Jerusalem, we will be surprised and invigorated by the unadorned truth. John wrote to build us up in our faith, and also to present Jesus to non-Christian enquirers. Our Sunday evenings will also be for both purposes.
- January 24: Eyes that see... - John 9:1-12
- January 31: Eyes that don’t - John 9:13-41
- February 7: The Good Shepherd -John 10:1-21
- February 14: Mixed reactions! - John 10:22-42
- February 21: Dead man walking - John 11:1-44
- February 28: Plotting God’s plan - John 11:45-57
- March 7: Countdown to Calvary - John 12:1-19
- March 14: The death that brings life - John 12:20-36
- March 21: Why some don’t believe - John 12:37-50
- March 28: Washing dirty feet - John 13:1-17
- Maundy Thursday, April 1: Holy Communion:Have this attitude among you: Philippians 2:1-11
- Easter Sunday, April 4: Why the Resurrection matters
