As we continue our evening series in Esther, Thomas preaches from Esther 6:1-14. In this passage we see the dramatic turning-point of the book, where the everything seems to turn upside-down from the way it had been going so far. But what - or who - was behind this incredible change? As Thomas unpacks these verses for us, we see the significance of the mundane, the love and power of a God who will always save His people, and what this all means for us today.

On the road to Emmaus, two disciples failed to recognise Jesus. But 33 years earlier, in Luke 2:21-40, one little-known prophet saw the redemption of God’s people in the face of an infant. Here Tom shows us the day Simeon’s hopes, and yours, are fulfilled.
Faith and works is an easily mismanaged issue, but Thomas addresses it directly through James 2:14-26. If we claim to love God and His word, yet never pray, never read our Bibles and never serve the Kingdom, what is our faith worth? Time to take stock. What do your deeds say about the contents of your heart?
‘Oh no, we don’t associate with those people.’ Sounds familiar? Chris shows us in James 2:1-13 that our Saviour shows no preference nor favouritism. To follow Jesus is to treat people as He did: with love regardless of station - and grace regardless of deeds. Don’t look down on your neighbour; look up to Christ.
Have you ever felt that there is too much bad news in the world? Through Luke 2:1-20, Tom announces that the greatest Good News of all: that God himself, whose hands shaped the heavens n took on the tiny hands of an infant. No grand and worldly powers could ever hope to compare with our Saviour.
In this month’s Mix looking at ‘Jesus in the Book’ Tom helps us see Jesus in Exodus. As we focus in on some of the most significant and well-known parts of the Exodus, Tom shows us how the scriptures point a neon arrow at Jesus as God with us, the great I AM, our Passover Lamb, and our High Priest.
