Vital Signs
There are 7 signs of life. You may remember them from biology (or perhaps not!). In this series we will look at each of these Vital Signs to help us explore our own vitality, and that of the communities we are building.
Forgotten Sayings
The run up to Easter is traditionally a time for self examination. It’s a time to slow down, refocus and examine our hearts. This 40 day period called Lent recalls the 40 days that Jesus spent in the wilderness preparing for his ministry. We will let the words of Jesus be our guide.
Daniel Fast 2016
The Daniel Fast is a spiritual discipline where followers of Jesus Christ can draw nearer to God and focus more of their attention on Him and His ways. In today’s busy and distracting culture, entering into the fasting experience is like pushing the pause button in a hectic life and centering more on the rest that Jesus offers.
It's a Boy!
Babies are born everyday and family and friends expectantly await news of the new arrival. The conversations that follow centre around a few key questions: - Is it a boy or a girl? What names have you given him/her? How much did he/she weigh? So what if we asked those same questions about the baby from Bethlehem? Who would we ask and how would they answer?
Walking with Lions
There’s a reason lions are called ‘King of the Beasts’: they rule by their great power and strength.
Daniel lived at a time when great powers ruled the earth. They were fierce and domineering and dealt severely with anything in their way. Yet Daniel not only survived, he thrived! He knew the secret of walking with lions.
The Agenda
The guys closest to Jesus could see he was different, very different. He had rhythm, purpose, an agenda. They saw how his whole life was a prayer, a never ending synergy between father and child. And they asked him, “Teach us that life-prayer.” And he did.
Nailed It
I guess that sums it up. Conquered. Won. Completed. Triumphed. Succeeded. The resurrection of Jesus nailed it!
Is he truly the Son of God? Does his death have meaning for anyone else? Is there only one true way? Is my life bigger than the sum of my years?
God Provides
In February 2008 we opened the Church Centre, transforming our buildings into a bustling and vibrant place where our community gathers 7 days a week. We are re-telling the story of God’s miraculous provision of the church centre, giving all of us an opportunity to invest or re-invest in the buildings that bless us so much, think about our giving in the light of God’s provision.

There are 4 seeds that we need to plant as a community in order to get a harvest. Learning to …

Christmas Lyrics
Love or hate them, they are everywhere at Christmas and are part of modern day Christmas. But there are long lasting, centuries old lyrics that speak into the same longings as the words of the songs that fill our shops. Why do these age-old lyrics offer such hope? Why are they still sung each year? Do they have something to say to us now?
Rise Up!
It’s a dark time. Persecution is relentless. Demonic forces are rampaging. A nation is losing its faith. This series will journey through the life of Elijah and Elisha. Their time is our time. Their calling, our calling. It’s time to rise up!
Burlington Talks 2010-2014
Healing
Sometimes it is overwhelming. It seems that everywhere we look people are exhausted at just coping with whatever afflicts them. Is this the life to which we are called? We know that God is raising up an army. We want to be in it.
Faith that Works
Being a Christian is not simply believing certain things. It’s about living with Jesus. It’s about living for Jesus. Not a set of beliefs, but a way of life. That’s the point James makes.
The Wonder
Whilst those childhood days of amazement, excitement and moments of wide-eyed wonder are long gone; discover a richer, deeper and more lasting wonder that awaits us as we fling wide the doors on the Christmas story.
Sovereign
How do we cope when it all goes wrong?
Inside Out
Jesus seems to turn everything inside out. Will we let Jesus turn us inside out? And what would happen if he did?
The Cross
Something incredible happened at the cross, but what exactly? What difference does it make to me? Why should I care?
On Rescue
Love Exposed
In Love Exposed we turned the spotlight on love - real, passionate, uncompromising love - as we study the life that exposed the truth about love itself.
The Unexpected
Most of life is made up of the familiar. We have plans and routines and usually things turn out the way we expect. Then, suddenly, often without warning, something totally unexpected happens.
iRelate
It’s not what we are, or where we’ve been or even what we’ve done that brings life. It’s knowing Him, and out of that knowing Him we are to know others. We were made in His image to relate. Firstly to Him, and then to everyone else. The life He gives, we share. It’s all relationship.

Building Community
In the New Testament we find so many pictures for the church. We are also introduced early in the book of Acts to the believers becoming a vibrant, active, prayerful, worship-filled community who not only loved Jesus but watched each other’s backs.
Live It!
Paul’s letter to Ephesians, placed in the heart of the New Testament for us as a call to Live it! in our day and where we are. It’s our invitation to become part of a missional movement of our own.
Heaven and Hell
Now is but for a moment; eternity awaits…but what is it and what will it be like? If I believe in heaven, do I have to believe in hell? And of course, who goes where?
In this mini-series Simon will explore what the Bible teaches us to expect.
Following Jesus
When Jesus called his first disciples to follow him they knew exactly what he meant. He was calling them to learn all that he taught in order that they might do all that he did and so become all that he was. That’s what it meant to follow. And that’s the discipleship to which we too are called.
The Story
Throughout 2011 we are looking at the whole Bible; the amazing story of God at work in his world - and discovering that Jesus is present throughout the whole of the Old Testiment as well as the New.
