1 John 1:5-2:2 Can we know for sure now that we’ve got a place in heaven? Or do we need to wait until we die, and appear at the final judgement? The apostle John tells us we can be sure now.

1 John 1:1-4 Loads of people claim to be Christian. In the UK almost half the population ticked that box in the last census – but are they really all Christians? What is a true Christian?

Acts 9:20–31 Saul’s new obedience, even in the face of suffering, can only come from one thing: the truth of the risen Jesus.
People say there is an epidemic of anxiety in our society. As Christians we’re not immune to this. How can we find peace?
At some point in your career, you may well find that you are made redundant. What will it be like? How will you respond? What will be some of the challenges? What opportunities will it bring? Above all, what is a Christian perspective on it? That is what we are thinking through in our ‘Faith in the Workplace’ session this month. We’ll have an interview with a Wharf worker who has been through redundancy, and we’ll look at how the Bible speaks into this situation.
Acts 9:1-19 Saul’s conversion shows us the power of the gospel to transform lives, even though his conversion was supernaturally and historically special.
Maybe this makes you think about juggling career and childcare, or finding your dream job doing something you love which also makes you fabulously wealthy!
