Experiencing God: Awareness
Sometimes we feel a sense of God’s presence on an emotional level and sometimes we don’t. We know he is always there, regardless of how we feel. How can we connect to the love and presence of God even when he feels far away from us? How can we be more aware of his presence and experience His love for us whatever season we are in? How do we practice the presence of God on a daily basis? To engage with this series and to download resources you might like to click on our "Seek Him" page [here].

Experiencing God: Growing in knowing
A disciple is someone who has apprenticed themselves to a master: To do what the master does and become like the master. To follow someone is to know someone. In this talk Nick shares how disciples of Jesus are formed into His likeness. We do this by growing in the knowledge and grace of God. |

We are A Community on a Journey; a tribe that reaches out beyond ourselves towards our neighbours as we seek to bring community transformation through authentic relationships, spiritual formation and sacrificial service. A community dependent on the Holy Spirit to lead us and form us. The Exodus is a story of a people called out of slavery and into the Promises of God, what can we learn from this ancient tribe?
