Jesus calls his disciples to radical love — a love that reaches even our enemies. Pointing to the self-giving mercy of God, shown supremely on the cross, he challenges us to reflect his compassion, responding to hostility not with retaliation but with the grace we ourselves have received.

In Luke 6:27–36, Jesus calls his followers to a love that goes beyond instinct and self-interest: loving enemies, giving without expecting anything in return, and reflecting the mercy of our Father. This radical way of living isn’t optional—it’s the hallmark of God’s children. Why not consider where Jesus is inviting you to practice this countercultural love, why it feels difficult, and how the Father’s mercy empowers you to obey?

Great sportsmen and women speak of the cliff edge moment which comes when, having triumphed, they are left asking ‘what’s next’? The cliff edge moment comes to us all. Jesus offers life from God that never leaves a person lacking fulfilment or satisfaction. The shock comes in realising that Jesus offers this life to anyone, for free, no matter what their background or previous performance.

True happiness isn’t found in wealth, success, or popularity but in following Jesus with humble faith. In Luke 6:17–26, the Saviour turns the world’s values upside down, showing that those who are poor, hungry, and hated for his sake are truly blessed, for the kingdom of God belongs to them.

At the beginning of the Sermon on the Plain, Jesus assures the needy, opposed disciples that they are blessed and can rejoice now in the face of opposition as they have a secure heavenly reward. Jesus as the Son of Man has authority to bless, and he will also judge those who oppose his people. To the many in the crowd who heard Jesus, this begins Jesus' challenge to them throughout the Sermon on the Plain - 'Will you follow me by building your life on what I say and be blessed?'

John chapter 3 overflows with the love of God. This makes the concluding statement that God’s wrath remains on those who reject Jesus a jarring conclusion. Why would the wrath of God be an appropriate response to those who will not obey the Christ?

In a world of fake news and doubt, Jesus appoints twelve real men as the foundation of his true family. This sermon shows how their eyewitness testimony gives us certainty about Christ and confidence in the gospel—God’s revolutionary plan to build a new people on a trustworthy foundation.

Jesus the king was a man of persistent prayer, who appointed twelve to be his apostles. What does this show us about Jesus and his kingdom? What are the implications for us today as members of Jesus’ kingdom?

By recording Jesus’ conversation with Nicodemus, John the Apostle enables us to make sense both of our own and of other people’s response to Jesus. We are shown both why we need to believe in him – and why we don’t.

The Pharisees want to catch Jesus out with Sabbath rules, when he is bringing true Sabbath rest! He comes to restore his kingdom of rest.

Is Jesus Christ a force for good in the world, or a harmful threat to be rejected? In these verses, Jesus makes plain his identity, and the wonder of the life he has come to bring.

Shouldn't love simply embrace people where they are? Yet, God's love is so much more than just affirmation. In John 3:16, we see the depth of his love for the world. He didn’t love us with mere words, but through action: God's love is a Son-giving love — He gave his only Son for us. God's love is a life-giving love — Through Christ, we are offered eternal life. In the end, God's love isn't just about meeting us where we are; it’s about offering something far greater: a new life in Jesus.

John 3:16 is probably the most famous verse in the Bible, but it's easy to miss the weight of this 'gospel in miniature'. Tracing through seven surprises in this verse, we're shown how wonderfully God has demonstrated his love for us, and all that he has given to us in Jesus.

Jesus says the whole Bible is about him and he is the salvation the world has been waiting for. So why do the religious reject him? In Luke 5, Jesus exposes why.

A wedding is a time for joy—and this one points us to an even greater celebration. As we delight in Jesus, the true bridegroom, we’re invited to grasp the depth of his love: a love that led him to the cross for the sake of his bride.

What would Jesus say to his would-be allies? Nicodemus comes to Jesus as someone who is Christ-curious, but wary of the radical action Jesus has taken in the temple: would it not be possible to have the kingdom without the chaos? And in John 3, Jesus gently shows him that he has come to do something much more radical than Nicodemus has yet realised: we must be born again, and Jesus must go to the cross.

Jesus famously calls everyone to believe in him—so it's striking when John's Gospel introduces a kind of belief that Jesus doesn’t trust. In his one-on-one conversation with Nicodemus, we see what it is that Jesus doesn't like, and we're invited to see whether we have the right kind of belief.
