This is the first talk in our new series on Philippians. Looking at the first part of the letter to the Philippians, Paul gives us keys to how we can be joyful, regardless of our circumstances, always being thankful and praying for one another. 

We explore what the risen Jesus is speaking into our lives today through Luke’s account of two disciples meeting Jesus on the road to Emmaus.

Triumph, Tragedy, Tribulation. Rev’d Geoff Davis reminds us that Jesus is the only One who can bring us and the world through the ‘Tragedies’ and ‘Tribulations’ of life to ‘Triumph’ through the glorious victory He won on the Cross. As He cried ‘It is finished’ (John 19 v 30). The symbol of shame and defeat is now the emblem of victory over sin and death. (1 Corinthians 1 vs 23-24). ‘Look to the Cross and Live’

This story of Peter in Luke 22 gives us hope that when we get things wrong and let Jesus down, there is a way for us to turn back to him.  Jesus freely forgives us and gives us a fresh opportunity to serve him and experience his love.

Looking ahead to Easter, David unpacks the story of Palm Sunday when Jesus rode into Jerusalem on a donkey, exploring what it means for us to live humbly in a world that praises a particular version of strength and power.
