Drawing from his experience helping to lead the North west region of ChristCentral, Graham shares his passion for seeing churches and leaders encouraged and equipped for the mission of Jesus.

Graham reflects on his own journey – from being taught in a Presbyterian seminary that these spiritual gifts were only for the early church, to discovering the life-giving reality of apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, and teachers in the present day.

Graham looks at:

– Why the gifts of Ephesians 4:11 are still essential for the church today. – Why these ministries aren’t meant to do all the work themselves, but to empower every believer for service. – How evangelism, prophecy, and apostolic mission work together to build a healthy, mature church family.

Whether you are curious about how God uses different leadership gifts or you want to be encouraged in your own walk with Christ, Graham’s insight provides a biblical roadmap for growing up into the fullness of Jesus.

Because we have a better, permanent covenant through Jesus, our lives should serve as a “window” through which the world sees Him.

Andrew shares his story over the past year – a year which has included sudden double vision, dizziness, and chronic back pain – and how it has coincided with his mother’s terminal cancer diagnosis and passing.

He uses these experiences to bridge the gap between human suffering and the promise of divine healing found in Isaiah 53:4–6.

Andrew talks about:

– The Emotional Toll of Illness – The Theology of Healing – Direct divine intervention – Natural means – Jesus’ Solidarity in Suffering.

Christ’s suffering provides hope because it leads to resurrection. Death and the grave are not the final destination; through Jesus, we are promised a future free from sickness.

Dave talks about staying in the race as involving three parts: 1. Strengthening your resolve 2. Pursuing Peace and Holiness 3. Remembering what you are running towards

The post Dave Frodsham: Staying in the race first appeared on Jubilee Church Wirral.

Using THE4POINTS framework, he breaks down the relationship between God and humanity – .the four points of the Gospel..

1. God Loves Me (The Heart): Rick emphasizes that God’s love is not just a feeling but a “demonstration”. He refers to the Old Testament concept of hesed, a deep, faithful love that God holds for us regardless of our status.

2. I Have Sinned (The X): Using a personal story about a selfish outburst over some CDs as a teenager, Rick illustrates that sin is an internal brokenness or “missing the mark”. This creates a barrier that separates people from a holy God.

3. Jesus Died for Me (The Cross): Rick contrasts Jesus’ sacrifice with cinematic heroes, like Jack in Titanic, who die for “noble” causes. Unlike those examples, Jesus died for us while we were still “weak” and “sinners”. He took the penalty for our sin to open a door to the Father.

4. I Need to Make a Decision (The Question Mark): Sharing his own experience of finding God as a father during university, Rick explains that this message requires a response.

Graham observes that you can look like a Christian without truly being one, and that if you have fallen away from Christ, it’s never too late.

He urges us to cherish our salvation. Knowing Jesus and having our sins forgiven is the most precious gift we will ever possess

The post Graham Webb, Palm Sunday at Jubilee first appeared on Jubilee Church Wirral.

He addresses two fundamental questions for every believer: What are we doing? How do we do it better?

Using the analogy of a marathon, Chris looks at how the Christian life isn’t a short sprint but a lifelong journey of perseverance.

He also reframes the “discipline” mentioned in Hebrews 12 as training.

Despite shipwrecks, beatings, and imprisonment, the Apostle Paul’s “training” produced a spiritual legacy that still blesses the world today.

Chris also gives us three reminders to take away:

1. Don’t Meander: Life is short; run with purpose and pace.

2. Embrace the Hardship: View your current struggles as “spiritual training” rather than divine abandonment.

3. Look Up: When life gets hard, your instinctive look should be toward Christ, the author and perfecter of your faith.

The preach is structured around an interview with Denise’s mother Betty and five key lessons from Mary’s journey.

Using a hilarious (and true) story about a $3.5 million “inheritance” scam versus a real legal inheritance, Dave explains that the power of your faith isn’t about how much you have, but who you are trusting in.

Dave looks at:

Faith as a Title Deed: It is the “substance” of things hoped for. Like moving house, you might not be in the new place yet, but if your name is on the contract, it belongs to you.

The “Binoculars” of the Spirit: How to see God’s promises as “absolute facts” even when your current circumstances look like smoke and mirrors.

Desire Over Performance: Why God isn’t “ashamed” to be called our God—not because we are perfect, but because we hunger for a better, heavenly country.

The “Jump” Analogy: A reminder that even when you can’t see God through the “smoke” of life, He can see you perfectly. When He says “Jump,” you can trust His arms.

Whether it’s in sports, at work, or in our everyday relationships, we all know what it feels like to lose our confidence. Setbacks, stress, and unexpected news can make us want to withdraw and give up.

But in this message, Dave explores Hebrews 10 to show us a type of confidence that isn’t based on what we do, but on what has already been done for us.

Dave looks at:

The Source of True Confidence: Why the “therefore” in Hebrews 10:19 changes everything.

The Barrier Removed: What the “four-inch thick curtain” meant for the Old Covenant and why it was torn in two.

The “How Much More” Factor: Comparing the temporary sacrifices of the past to the eternal redemption found in Jesus.

The Power of Community: Why we need each other to stay “on fire” and keep from drifting away.

Are you tired of trying to follow rules that feel external or burdensome? Rick illustrates how the New Covenant isn’t just a “better deal” or a spiritual software update; it is a fundamental internal transformation. He dives into the promise that God will write His laws directly onto our minds and hearts, moving us away from a performance-based faith and into a life fueled by a genuine, internal desire to know Him.

Using relatable analogies – from the evolution of mobile phones to the simple power of a handshake – Rick clarifies how Jesus acts as the ultimate mediator to secure an everlasting partnership with us.

Questions to consider:

1️⃣ What does the failure of the old covenant teach us about the limits of self-effort when it comes to obedience, faithfulness, and real change?

2️⃣ Jeremiah and Ezekiel speak about God working from the inside out. What stands out to you about how the new covenant changes the heart, not just behaviour?

3️⃣ God says, “I will be their God, and they will be my people.” What difference should this identity make to how we live and relate to one another as a church?

4️⃣ Is there an area of your life, or a relationship, where you sense God inviting you to trust him afresh and allow his Spirit to bring change? How can we pray into that together now?

“Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see. This is what the ancients were commended for.”

Chris shares about his year of cancer, from being diagnosed with bowel cancer to being declared cancer free, and how God provided for him and his family during that time.

He also talks about how trust in God and submission to His will – whatever that meant for Chris and his family – ultimately increased his faith.

As part of his talk, Andrew and Julie Greenhalgh share about God’s provision for them and their family during their time in Zambia between 2019 and 2020.

Chris shows how Jesus demonstrated submission to God and His will, as recorded in the book of Matthew:

“Going a little farther, he fell with his face to the ground and prayed, “My Father, if it is possible, may this cup be taken from me. Yet not as I will, but as you will.” He went away a second time and prayed, “My Father, if it is not possible for this cup to be taken away unless I drink it, may your will be done.” When he came back, he again found them sleeping, because their eyes were heavy. So he left them and went away once more and prayed the third time, saying the same thing.”

Hebrews 7 is a chapter packed with theological detail, containing hope and security to every believer.

If you’ve ever struggled with guilt, felt like you need to “earn” God’s love through religious performance, or wondered if your faith is secure, this message is for you.

Dave encourages us to stop looking for security in our own efforts and instead fully trust in the superior mediation of Jesus Christ.

“He is able to save to the uttermost… since he always lives to make intercession for [us].” — Hebrews 7:25

The post Dave Frodsham: Jesus – eternal priest, guarantor and advocate first appeared on Jubilee Church Wirral.

Rick highlights a passage from Ephesians 2:4-6, explaining how God’s love and mercy bring believers from a state of being “dead” in their sins to being “alive” with Christ.

He uses a series of analogies to explain these theological concepts:

The Sunlit Room: He compares coming to God to light entering a dusty room. Just as sunlight reveals hidden dust and cobwebs, God’s light reveals the “mess” in our lives and our need for Him.

The Envelope of Sin: He uses an envelope to represent sin and brokenness that blocks a person’s relationship with God. He explains that Jesus, who lived a perfect life, took that “envelope” of sin upon Himself through His death on the cross, restoring the believer’s relationship with God as a child to a father.

Rick emphasises that this transformation is not due to human effort or strength, but solely because of “what God has done”.

The post Rick Robertson: What God has done in you first appeared on Jubilee Church Wirral.

Exploring the spiritual security found in Jesus, Rick emphasises that despite the challenges and uncertainties of life, we as believers can remain firm in our faith by focusing on the character and promises of God.

By living with confidence in Christ, Rick reminds us that we can be stronger and more courageous in our daily lives, transformed by the power of God working in us and securely anchored in Christ, regardless of the storms we face.

The post Rick Robertson: Attached and Anchored first appeared on Jubilee Church Wirral.

Dave encourages us to move beyond seeing the Bible as a historical record and instead encounter it as a living, breathing person: Jesus Christ.

Dave discusses how the Word acts as both a seed that changes the landscape of our lives and a surgical tool that heals us from the inside out.

The Word of God is not just a book; it is a person. Jesus is the “Logos” who expresses God’s heart, mind, grace, and truth.

Reading the Bible is like planting a seed. When applied with faith, it breaks through the “soil” of our lives to grow roots and produce the fruit of God’s character.

God’s Word is sharper than any two-edged sword. It is designed to cut through the “heart of stone,” discerning our deepest thoughts and intentions to bring healing rather than hurt.

Spiritual growth requires more than just a Sunday service; it requires a daily, systematic relationship with the Word.

By hearing and trusting God’s Word with faith, we can enter the eternal rest that He has promised to those who believe.

The post Dave Frodsham: The Word of God – Living, Active and Sharp first appeared on Jubilee Church Wirral.

Dave looks at the source of love, the response of joy, and the eternal fruit of a life lived in Christ.

As Dave points out, love is the ultimate source of the Christian faith, anchored in John 3:16. God’s love is indiscriminate and sacrificial; He didn’t just provide a philosophy or a set of rules, but sent a person – His son Jesus – to reconcile a broken world. This love is unconditional, based entirely on God’s character rather than our own merit or performance.

Dave defines joy as the natural response to the gospel, or good news, of Jesus. The Gospel is more than an announcement of a victory already won by a King – it’s a secure state of being that remains even during trials, much like Jesus, who endured the cross for the joy set before Him.

Dave also highlights love and joy as not being abstract concepts but tangible evidence of a life transformed by the Holy Spirit. He concludes with an invitation to move beyond self-improvement and instead embrace the active, transformative love of God. By abiding in Christ, we are empowered to love others – not because they are worthy, but because we ourselves are so deeply loved.

The post Dave Frodsham: Christmas is a time of love and joy first appeared on Jubilee Church Wirral.

Drawing on John 1:5 (“The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it”), Rick talks about how Jesus’ birth – which we celebrate at Christmas – was the moment when that longed-for light entered the world in Jesus.

Popular Christmas films often follow the same pattern: a dark or broken world and a longing for light to break through. This mirrors real life, where people face genuine darkness and hardship and still hope for something more. Christmas tells the true story behind that longing: God is not distant but came into the world in Jesus, stepping into human suffering out of solidarity, not just power.

Jesus was born into a time of oppression and conflict, yet his mission was not to overthrow political powers but to win a deeper, lasting victory over sin, darkness, and death through his life, death, and resurrection. Because of this, Jesus’ light cannot be overcome and is available to all people, across all cultures and generations.

Dave talks about how Advent should centre on the four themes of Hope, Peace, Joy, and Love.

His key points include:

• Advent is Preparation (Hope): Advent is a time to prepare our hearts for the remembrance of Christ’s first coming and the anticipation of His second coming. The first candle represents Hope, the “living hope” we have in the resurrection of Jesus Christ, which leads to an imperishable inheritance.
• The Promised Peace (Shalom): The peace announced by the angels at Christ’s birth (“Peace on earth among those with whom He is pleased” – Luke 2:14) is not just the absence of conflict. It is the deep Hebrew concept of Shalom, which means wholeness, harmony, and flourishing—everything in its right place. Sin fractured this original peace, and the Old Testament prophets promised a Prince of Peace (Isaiah 9:6) who would restore it. This peace is a person – Jesus Christ.
• The Revealed Peace: This profound peace was revealed to humble shepherds in the form of a baby. It is a peace that allows us to have peace with God through faith, as Christ’s sacrifice reconciles sinners to God (Romans 5:1). It also provides peace with ourselves, which Jesus assures His followers is a peace the world cannot give, guarding our hearts from fear and anxiety (John 14:27). Furthermore, it establishes peace with others, as Christ has broken down the “dividing wall of hostility” (Ephesians 2:14), turning strangers into brothers and sisters in one family.
• The Entrusted Peace (Peacemakers): The peace received by Christians is not meant to be kept to themselves. The sermon concludes by stating that this peace is entrusted to the church. We are not called to be peacekeepers (who merely avoid conflict) but peacemakers (who actively bring restoration and reconciliation). As ambassadors for Christ (2 Corinthians 5:20), we are to embody gentleness, pursue reconciliation, and allow God to make His appeal to the world through us. The true peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, comes to those who seek this relationship and live as agents of reconciliation.

Ola emphasises that Jesus is not just a saviour, but bridges the gap between humanity and God. Through Jesus’ life, death, and resurrection, we have direct access to God’s presence, mercy and grace.

Ola encourages us to:

• Approach God with confidence — not self-doubt — because Jesus has made a way. • Live in the assurance of forgiveness and identity in Christ, rather than striving for approval through works. • Trust that Jesus’ priesthood covers you fully — you don’t need to earn acceptance. • In times of weakness or need, lean on Christ’s intercession — He stands between you and God.

Andy preaches on the stark contrast between worldly ambition and Kingdom greatness.

Focusing on the request of James and John to sit at Jesus’ right and left hands, the message highlights how the disciples still misunderstood Jesus’ mission, seeking glory while He was marching toward suffering.

The preach culminates in the definition of true Christian leadership: self-sacrificial service, modelled by Jesus giving His life as a ransom.

How do we apply this Bible teaching practically?

In the Church: We must resist the “climbing” mentality. If you want to be great in the church, pick up a towel, not a title. Look for the unglamorous tasks (setting up chairs, cleaning, caring for the unnoticed).

In Relationships: The root of conflict (like the ten disciples getting indignant) is often self-glory. The cure is looking at the Cross. When we realize how much we have been served by Jesus, our demand to be served by others melts away.

The post Andy Arscott: True Greatness and the Ransom first appeared on Jubilee Church Wirral.

He contrasts the desire for rest (like not wanting to go to bed early as a child, or not wanting to wake up early for work as an adult) with the true, promised rest offered by God.

Dave focuses on three points:

– The promise of rest still stands. – That faith opens the door. – And finally, God’s word is powerful, so don’t ignore it.

Finally, Dave urges us to:

– Spend time reading the Bible. Use a process like P.R.A.Y. (Pause, Reflect, Ask, Yield) to allow God’s word to speak into your life – Worship and thank God for what He has done and what He is going to do – Stop striving to impress God or others, and surrender to His will – Make every effort to enter God’s rest by daily trusting and obeying Jesus.

Rick looks at the crucial choice we face every day – whether to respond to God with an open heart (belief) or a closed heart (unbelief), mirroring the failures of the Israelites in the wilderness.

Ultimately, as Rick tells us, the choice is between living life to its fullness – embracing Christ’s love – and an unthinkable devastation. The choice is always critical: “Is your heart hard or is it soft?”

Drawing from Hebrews 3, Dave reminds us that when you’re on a challenging journey, you need something absolutely trustworthy to rely on.

⚓️ Titanic vs. True Trust Dave starts with the compelling story of the Titanic. Its name meant “extremely large, powerful, and strong,” but claims of it being “practically unsinkable” were tragically wrong. Names and credentials can fail you!

In contrast to unreliable boasts, we have more than 2,000 years of unwavering confidence in Jesus.

Graham reminds us that Jesus is greater than anything else and calls us to keep growing through repentance, faith, baptism, the Holy Spirit, and hope in resurrection and judgment already settled at the Cross.

Growth happens as we devote ourselves to God’s Word, prayer, fellowship, and serving as “living stones” in His church.

Through faith and patience we inherit God’s promises, learning to rejoice always, give thanks in everything, and pray continually. Mature Christians persevere, forgive, pursue unity, and live on mission, filled with the Holy Spirit’s power and love.

Rick encourages believers not to drift away from their faith but to hold firmly to Jesus, keeping Him at the centre of their lives.

Hebrews was written to early Jewish Christians tempted to drift from their faith. Rick explains that the letter powerfully reveals who Jesus truly is — the complete and final revelation of God — calling us to value Him above everything else.

Rick highlights several points: • In the past, God spoke through prophets and intermediaries, but now he speaks through his son (Hebrews 1:1–2). • Jesus is the radiance of God’s glory and the exact imprint of His nature. • This means that when Jesus speaks, God Himself speaks. • The passage shows Jesus’ superiority — He is greater than angels, prophets, or any other being. • Hebrews 1 shows that Jesus is the eternal Creator, heir of all things, and the one who sustains the universe by His powerful word. •. Creation will fade, but Jesus remains forever. •. The writer of Hebrews uses Old Testament verses to affirm that Jesus is fully God, not a lesser or created being.

Sylvia talks about how, in the story, the 10 Virgins represent the church, with the wise virgins being those who have been filled with the holy spirit and cultivated a relationship with Him, and the foolish virgins representing those who are unprepared, careless, and lacking spiritual readiness.

She also goes into how the oil is The Holy Spirit, and how although every believer receives the Holy Spirit when they are saved, the depth of relationship and reliance on Him determines preparedness. Extra oil represents intentional spiritual effort — prayer, holiness, and staying close to God.

Sylvia warns against being asleep spiritually – becoming complacent, distracted, or careless in faith – but instead tells us to live prepared, as if Christ could come at any time.

Graham talks about how Christian life is not just about being saved but about being empowered by the Spirit for mission.

He encourages us to continually seek fresh fillings of the Holy Spirit so we can boldly witness, pray for healing, and see God’s power at work in our lives and in the nations.

The Spirit’s power is given for mission: to share Jesus locally and globally, to reach people from every nation, and to carry the gospel with faith and courage.

Graham urges us to keep asking for more of the Spirit and to be open to gifts, healing, tongues, prophecy and more.

It’s not about us, but God working through us to reach people.

In response to the disciples’ questions about the destruction of the temple and the “end of the age”, Jesus contrasts his birth in Bethlehem with his future coming in glory and power.

Dave talks about how, in the end times, there will be signs of His coming, such as natural disasters like wars and earthquakes and universal persecution of Christians, but that Jesus will return visibly and gloriously and angels will gather believers from every corner of the earth.

Crucially, though, no-one knows the exact time of His return. Like signs of summer or a baby’s birth, we can see indicators but we can’t pinpoint the day.

Dave reminds us that, as believers, we must stay awake and ready. Jesus’ coming shouldn’t surprise us if we live expectantly whereas for unbelievers, it will be a shocking interruption.

He encourages us to persevere in faith through the troubles that life throws at us and prepare our lives as though Jesus could return at any moment.

September, like a new year, is a time to pause, look back at where we’ve come from, and set our eyes on what God is calling us to next.

Dave talks about how he grew up in the Wirral, left for Nottingham and then Bracknell, where he met his wife Nicki and God filled him with the Spirit and gave him a passion for the church.

Dave shares the story of Jubilee, from planting in Liverpool in 1999, and then, two years later, to planting Jubilee Church Wirral in 2001.

Dave talks about how church is not about one leader or ministry but the whole body working together as Christ’s hands and feet. As part of ChristCentral, Jubilee shares distinctives: being friends who enjoy God together, building grace-filled Word and Spirit churches, advancing God’s kingdom, transforming communities, and reaching nations.

Ultimately, the local church is the hope of the world—called to reconcile people to God and one another, to bring peace, healing, belonging, and transformation through Christ.

The post Dave Frodsham: How did we get here? first appeared on Jubilee Church Wirral.

Preaching from Mark 12:18–27, Rick unpacks the moment when the Sadducees challenged Jesus about resurrection. They believed death was the end, but Jesus declared that God is not the God of the dead, but of the living. Rick explains that resurrection life is not just an extension of this life—it is something far greater. Earthly institutions like marriage have their purpose now, but in God’s restored creation they are no longer needed, because everything will be made complete in Him.

Drawing from both Old and New Testaments, Rick shows how the Bible points again and again to resurrection hope: from Daniel and Isaiah through to Jesus’ words in John 11, Paul’s letters, and Revelation’s vision of a new creation. The resurrection of Jesus is the “first fruit,” the guarantee that all who believe in Him will one day be raised with new, imperishable bodies, fit for eternal life with God.

This message reminds us that death is not the end. In Christ, our destiny is everlasting life, a future without pain, tears, or loss—life fully alive.

Darkness represents life without God, but when God says “Let there be light,” His presence brings clarity, direction, and freedom.

Manny reminds us that although darkness still exists, God’s light is always available through Jesus.

Why should we seek the light?

After God introduced light, creation flourished, in the form of plants, animals, and humans, and once God’s light enters our lives, beautiful things start to happen, and our purpose becomes clearer.

In John 8:12, we learn that Jesus is the Light of the World; whoever follows Him will not walk in darkness.

By surrendering fully to God, reading His Word, and praying, we find hope, purpose, and strength to overcome life’s struggles.

Jesus is asked, “What’s the greatest commandment?” His answer? Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. Love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength — and love your neighbor as yourself.

Phil reminds us that “hear” (Shema) in Hebrew means more than listening — it’s hearing with the intent to understand, obey, and respond. This is not just religion, routine, or law-keeping, but a personal, wholehearted devotion to God.

Drawing from Peter, Paul, Deuteronomy, and Hebrews, he shows how the old covenant pointed to the new promise in Jesus — one sacrifice for all time, writing God’s law on our hearts. Sin separates us from God, but through faith in Christ, we move from darkness into His wonderful light.

The challenge? Don’t just hear — believe and respond. Love God with your whole being, and love people with the same sacrificial, selfless love God has shown us.

Key points: • You are God’s chosen people, His special possession. • There is no distinction — Jew, Greek, Gentile — all are called through faith. • The wages of sin is death, but God’s gift is eternal life in Christ. • “Hear” means listen + understand + obey. • True love for God is active, intimate, and all-encompassing.

Like children afraid of the dark, it is easy to become fearful when we cannot see God at work.

Dave encourages us to trust in the unseen but eternal promises of Christ, not becoming obsessed with physical structures or material security, but trusting in the Holy Spirit to guide and give words when under pressure or persecution.

Ultimately, we need to remain spiritually alert, grounded in eternal truths rather than the shifting events of the world, and be cautious, hopeful, and faithful.

Jesus, the good and gracious King, promised to be with us “to the end of the age.”

Jesus doesn’t just bless the children—He uses them to challenge our pride, legalism, and performance-based faith. Unlike adults, children come with openness, trust, and humility.

Dave talks about how God doesn’t care what we look like, how important we are in worldly terms or how rich we are. He cares about our inner character and wholehearted trust in Him – as we see when Jesus contrasts the proud scribes with the humble widow.

Dave challenges us all to look at who we are becoming and who we are seeking approval from. Is it God? Or is it other people? Is our worship genuine, or is it performance driven?

And he challenges leaders especially to be wary of pride, status-seeking, and neglecting the vulnerable.

In this passage, Jesus predicts His death a third time; James and John ask for positions of honour at his side but Jesus teaches that greatness comes through serving others.

Denise looks at how, as people, we naturally seek status, recognition, and significance – whether in the classroom, weddings, church seating, or social media.

James and John asking to sit at Jesus’ right and left reveals this human tendency, but Jesus turns it upside down: “Whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant.”

Denise goes into how Jesus was the ultimate servant, washing feet, feeding the hungry, healing the sick and showing love without judgment. He also prayed for others and ultimately gave His life on the cross.

We are called to follow this model—not seeking status, but serving selflessly, even when it’s inconvenient or unseen.

These questions were designed to trap Him, not to seek genuine truth. Despite their motives, Jesus answers wisely, often sidestepping the traps and revealing deeper truths.

Dave looks at three major questions and subjects which were raised:

1. Divorce – “Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife?” (Mark 10:2) 2. Taxes to Caesar – “Should we pay taxes to Caesar?” (Mark 12:14) 3. Resurrection & Marriage – “Whose wife will she be in heaven?” (Mark 12:23)

Rick talks about how Jesus wants us to have wide hearts toward others – welcoming even those outside our immediate group – but narrow tolerance for personal sin. Jesus rebukes exclusivity among His disciples and warns about causing others, particularly the spiritually young, to stumble in faith.

As Rick points out, using an illustration of his former gaming addiction, seemingly small, private indulgences can gradually become spiritually consuming. We need to keep looking at ourselves and be honest about what might be subtly dominating our lives.

Rick urges us to:

1. Use the Bible as a moral compass. 2. Remove the opportunity for sin by cutting off its roots. 3. Know your identity as a child of God, which empowers freedom. 4. Depend on God’s compassion and the freedom Jesus offers.

The post Rick Robertson: We stumble. He sets us free. first appeared on Jubilee Church Wirral.

Continuing our series on the book of Mark, Ola focuses on Bartimaeus, a blind beggar in Jericho who responds to Jesus with bold faith.

Ola’s message shows us how God meets us where we are — like He met Bartimaeus on the roadside.

Faith is not about physical ability, but spiritual perception and surrender. We must be persistent in prayer, even when we are discouraged or silenced. True faith leads to action — Bartimaeus threw off his past and followed Jesus.

When God calls, our response should be urgent and wholehearted. Jesus asks each of us: “What do you want me to do for you?”

What is your response?

Dave talks about how eternal life cannot be earned or bought — it must be received through wholehearted trust in Jesus, not personal goodness, wealth, or status.

1. Are You Asking the Right Question? The rich young man asks, “What must I do to inherit eternal life?” revealing a flawed mindset — as if eternal life can be achieved through effort or merit. Jesus corrects him, showing that only God is truly good, and eternal life is a gift, not a reward for goodness.

2. What (or Who) Are You Relying On? Though the man claims to have kept the commandments, Jesus exposes his true dependence — on wealth, not God. The call to sell all and follow Jesus highlights the real issue: his heart is tied to material things, not to God. Wealth, talent, family, or even religious performance cannot save — only Jesus can.

3. All Things Are Possible With God Jesus teaches that salvation is impossible by human standards but possible with God. The disciples, though flawed and ordinary, followed Jesus and were transformed. Like them, we are called to surrender completely and trust God, even when it costs us something.

Eternal life is a gift, not a result of good behaviour or religious performance. • Jesus sees and loves us, even when we’re misguided or attached to idols like money, comfort, or self-reliance. • True discipleship costs something, but the reward is infinitely greater — both now and in eternity. • Faith is trusting God, especially when things go wrong, rather than relying on health, wealth, family, or church structures. • God works through imperfect people, not because they are strong, but because they are surrendered.

Andy talks about how faith is foundational to the Christian life.

• Trust in Jesus is not just a concept—it’s a daily decision. • God responds to faith, walks with us through trials, and provides peace. • Don’t rely on feelings—anchor yourself in the truth of God’s Word. • Turn worries into concerns and offer them to a caring God.

The post Faith That Stands: Living for Jesus, Come What May first appeared on Jubilee Church Wirral.

Andy reminds us that Jesus himself came to serve – not to be served – and by serving in whatever area we are needed, we are honouring him and doing as he did.

Andy talks about the fact that serving includes the more ‘mundane’ jobs in the church – cleaning, putting out chairs, serving in youth, serving drinks – as well as the ‘front of house’ jobs like preaching.

He also reminds us that serving sometimes doesn’t feel like serving at all; attending a life group can be serving because we are supporting the other members of the group, with the added bonus of being supported ourselves.

Ultimately, Andy urges us to ‘grab a towel’ and ask ‘How can I serve?’ It’s what Jesus did.

The post Andy Arscott: Grab a Towel first appeared on Jubilee Church Wirral.

Why? Because God brings together people who think and live differently, and that is a strength, not a weakness.

Graham looks at Romans 14, which recounts how the early church in Rome faced conflicts over dietary laws and Sabbath observance between Jewish and Gentile Christians. Rather than argue, Paul urged believers to accept one another, recognising that each person stands before God, not one another.

What should we learn from this? Don’t judge.

Whether someone eats meat or not, or worships on Saturday or Sunday, we are not to condemn but to encourage.

In ‘His Kingdom comes with prayer’, Dave  looks at how prayer truly changes situations, people and lives – and how a relationship with Jesus is vital in order to see God’s kingdom advance in our lives and communities.

He makes several key points, including:

1. Prayer Opens the Door to God’s Kingdom

2. Faith Must Be Rooted in Jesus

3. We Need the Presence, Promises, and Power of God

4. We Must Seek God’s Manifest Presence

Are you truly seeking God – his presence, his promises, and his power? Prayer is the key to participating in God’s kingdom. Without it, we lack the power and intimacy that we need to live transformed and transformative lives.

Prayer isn’t optional for those who want to see God’s kingdom come – it’s essential. Through prayer, we encounter God’s presence, stand on his promises, and walk in his power.

The post Dave Frodsham: His kingdom comes with prayer first appeared on Jubilee Church Wirral.

After you have listened to the message, consider the following questions:

– What do you think is the most important take-home message, and why? – How can we ensure that we have a connected life with Jesus? – Have you experienced God’s pruning in your life? What was it like? How did it change you? – What steps are you going to take to start or continue to bear kingdom fruit? Is anything holding you back from releasing God’s kingdom?

The post Chris Butterworth: The fruit of the Kingdom first appeared on Jubilee Church Wirral.

Rooted in Mark 9:30–37, he teaches that a true Christian life is built on the miraculous foundation of resurrection and expressed through humble servanthood.

The resurrection isn’t just a belief—it’s the root of the Christian life. And the fruit of that life is servant-hearted living. Rather than striving for worldly greatness, Jesus calls us to follow him in humility, service, and supernatural hope.

In his message, Dave makes three points:

– The Kingdom comes with trouble – The Kingdom comes with faith, looking at how Jesus dealt with doubt – The Kingdom comes with prayer

The post Dave Frodsham: Trouble, Doubt and Prayer first appeared on Jubilee Church Wirral.

He suggests that all humans long for experiences beyond the material, pointing to the existence of God, specifically the God of the Bible. For you, that might not be U2 playing Where the Streets Have No Name, but it’s likely to be something.

Tim talks about how how God meets Moses and Elijah on Mount Sinai and Peter, James, and John on Mount Hermon, revealing his divine glory. All three stories highlight humanity’s longing for God, the ways God chooses to reveal Himself, and the ultimate fulfilment of that longing in Jesus Christ.

Tim encourages us to seek God’s presence above all else, listen to Him, and trust His plans.

The post Tim Hughes: When God walks in the room first appeared on Jubilee Church Wirral.

Dave reiterates the fact that we must decide what we believe about Jesus – is he Lord, liar, or a lunatic?

He emphasises that there is strong historical evidence for Jesus’ life, death, and resurrection — more reliable than many accepted historical records. If Jesus really rose from the dead, it validates his claims and demands a response.

If you want to trust Jesus, salvation isn’t about having everything together—it starts with confession, belief, and a decision.

The post Dave Frodsham: What the resurrection means for us today first appeared on Jubilee Church Wirral.

Andrew talks about how we often talk about our families or our jobs when we first introduce ourselves to people and talk about who we are.

But what happens when these things are taken away? Are we still the same person?

During the week leading to His crucifixion, Jesus loses everything—respect, voice, position, friends. Yet he remains fully Himself: Rabbi, Prophet, King, and Friend. His identity is not built on what others say or take from Him – and because He held onto who He was, we are now free to find who we are in Him.

The post Andrew Chu: Who is Jesus when everything is taken away? first appeared on Jubilee Church Wirral.

Jesus enters Jerusalem not on a war horse, but on a young donkey, fulfilling the prophecy in Zechariah 9:9 (Rejoice greatly, Daughter Zion! Shout, Daughter Jerusalem! See, your king comes to you,righteous and victorious, lowly and riding on a donkey, on a colt, the foal of a donkey.)

Jesus is powerful, yet humble, fully God but also fully obedient. Unlike arrogant leaders or self-important athletes, Jesus doesn’t seek to impress with status—he serves and submits to the Father.

Dave challenges us to look at how we see Jesus and how He sees us.• Do we serve Him as King or expect Him to serve our desires?• Do we offer genuine worship or hollow routine?• Jesus seeks authentic hearts, not religious appearance.

Jesus is not the king we expect, but the king we need — humble, holy, powerful, and patient. Palm Sunday invites us to see Him clearly and offer not shallow praise, but surrendered hearts.

Helen’s message is split into three parts:

1. God Spoke

2. Speaking to God

3. God Still Speaks Today

Helen shares an incredible story about the birth of her son Mikey, showing how God doesn’t just speak through scripture or directly to us – although He does both of those things – but sometimes by speaking through others.

Helen urges us to listen for His voice and encourages us to seek prayer.

The post Helen O’Brien: God speaks first appeared on Jubilee Church Wirral.

He focuses on several themes:

 The Identity of Jesus– Peter’s recognition of Jesus as the Christ is a pivotal moment in the Gospel of Mark.– “Christ” is not a surname but a title meaning “Anointed One,” referring to the Messiah who had been prophesied about to come and save God’s people.– Unlike the popular expectation of a political saviour, Jesus reveals that His mission involves suffering, rejection, and death.

The Cost of Discipleship– Jesus rebukes Peter for thinking in human terms rather than God’s plan, which includes suffering before glory.– Jesus challenges His followers to take up their cross, deny themselves, and follow Him, even when the path is difficult.– The eternal value of the soul outweighs temporary material gain — “What does it profit a man to gain the whole world and forfeit his soul?”

Personal Application– Like Peter, each person must decide who Jesus is for them.– True faith is not inherited but must be personally embraced.– The story of Desmond Doss in Hacksaw Ridge illustrates the decision to stand firm in faith despite opposition and difficulty.

Finally, Rick emphasises that following Jesus is not about ease or worldly success but about trusting in Him, even through suffering. The call is to make a personal decision to acknowledge Christ and live sacrificially for Him.

Phil takes us through Jesus’ journey through different regions, including Gentile areas like Phoenicia and Decapolis, emphasising that Jesus’ miracles were not just about physical provision but also revealed spiritual truths.

Jesus showed compassion and grace to Gentiles, challenging the Jewish belief that salvation was only for them.

Phil urges us to have open eyes, ears, and hearts, warning against self-righteousness and religious complacency.

He reminds us that even small acts of faith can lead to God doing miraculous work, inviting us to trust Jesus, step out in faith, and allow God to transform our lives.

The post Phil Dickson: The feeding of the 4000 first appeared on Jubilee Church Wirral.

Dave discusses two encounters Jesus had with Gentiles:

1. The Syrophoenician Woman – A desperate mother begs Jesus to heal her demon-possessed daughter. Jesus initially responds with a parable comparing Gentiles to dogs, emphasising that His mission is first to the Jews. However, the woman humbly acknowledges this but persists, demonstrating great faith. Jesus rewards her faith by healing her daughter.2. The Deaf and Mute Man – Jesus heals a man by using physical gestures, showing sensitivity to his condition. After healing him, Jesus instructs people to keep quiet, but they eagerly spread the news.

Dave emphasises how, like the Syrophoenician woman, we should persist in seeking Jesus, trusting in His goodness. Though Jesus’ mission began with Israel, His mercy extends to all who believe. He meets people where they are, serving their needs with love.

2. Follow up on invitations, even if the initial response is negative.

3. Spend time with non-Christian friends and look for opportunities to share the gospel.

This is the famous passage describing when Jesus miraculously provides for the crowd – ‘the feeding of the 5000’.

In the message, Rick covers five key themes.

1. God’s generosity – The miracle demonstrates that God not only provides but does so abundantly, as seen in the leftover baskets of food.
2. Faith in Action – The disciples doubted at first, but Jesus involved them in the miracle by asking them to distribute the food.
3. Hardness of Heart – The disciples failed to grasp the full significance of Jesus’ provision, as later shown when they struggled during a storm and did not connect it with the previous miracle (Mark 6:50-52).
4. Practical Application – Rick encourages us to trust in God’s provision, step out in faith with what they have, and develop a heart that expects God’s generosity in daily life.
5. Modern Examples – Rick references George Müller, a Christian evangelist known for his faith-based provision for orphans, emphasizing the power of specific prayers and trusting in God’s provision.

Questions to consider

1. How does the feeding of the 5,000 reveal God’s generosity, and how does this challenge the way we trust in His provision today?
2. ⁠The disciples focused on what they lacked, while Jesus asked them to bring what they had. How can we shift our mindset from scarcity to faith in God’s abundance?
3. ⁠Jesus chose to partner with the disciples in this miracle rather than acting alone. What does this tell us about the way God works in our lives and ministries?
4.  ⁠In John 6:32-35, 40 – Jesus points beyond physical provision to Himself as the Bread of Life. How can we grow in relying on Jesus for spiritual nourishment rather than just seeking solutions to our immediate needs?

The post Rick Robertson: Working with a generous God first appeared on Jubilee Church Wirral.

He talks about how, during the COVID-19 pandemic, handwashing became a significant practice, with people learning proper techniques, such as washing for 20 seconds or using hand sanitiser.

While initially seen as an imposed rule, it was ultimately beneficial for public health. Mark 7 is an account of a time when the Pharisees criticised Jesus’ disciples for not washing their hands before eating – but not because they were concerned about hygiene; the Pharisees’ concern was about religious tradition rather than true obedience to God.

Jesus calls them hypocrites, quoting Isaiah, and pointing out that they prioritise human traditions over God’s commandments. External rituals do not make a person pure or impure; rather, it is what comes from the heart—evil thoughts and actions—that truly defile someone.

This teaching shifts the focus from outward religious practices to inner transformation and righteousness. Dave challenges us to consider whether we are following religious traditions or truly seeking God with sincere hearts. Righteousness is not about rituals but about integrity, humility, and love for God and others.

Graham highlights the contrast between the people’s lack of faith in Jesus and the disciples’ mission of faith and trust in God.

Graham encourages us as Christians to embrace our mission with boldness, resilience, and trust in God’s plan. Rejection and challenges will come, but Jesus’ example teaches perseverance.

Faith requires stepping out, even when the outcome is uncertain, because God is always with His people.

The first three verses of the Book of Psalms  – “Blessed is the one who does not walk in step with the wicked or stand in the way that sinners take or sit in the company of mockers, but whose delight is in the law of the Lord, and who meditates on his law day and night. That person is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither – whatever they do prospers” – are about having our blessedness in the joy of Christ.

Sometimes we all have a need, a need for counsel or a need for an opinion.Who is your first point of contact? Who do we listen to? What is it that we enjoy listening to? Is it a friend, a sibling, a spouse, a colleague or a pastor? Whose views do you amplify or uphold?

We all need advice sometimes; so it isn’t wrong to go to any of those people.Our Christian journey is a personal journey, a personal experience, so we need to ask God to help us through.

We can Walk, stand and sit in sin, or Walk, stand and sit in Christ.

2. He’s a deceiver
3. He’s the son of God.

Jesus replies by asking them about whether it is lawful on the Sabbath to do good (by healing) or to do harm (by not healing)?

Jesus’ message is that Sabbath was made for man to rest – not so that man, by following it to the letter, should gain admittance to heaven.

1. Jesus is the Lord of the Sabbath
2. Stretch out in faith to Jesus
3. Rest comes by putting Him first

Rick looks at the story of Hezekiah, a king who was devoted to God against all the odds. Hezekiah’s father was Ahaz, who burned his own sons as human sacrifices to pagan gods, and Hezekiah lived in a culture that didn’t share his devotion to God.

And yet Hezekiah was a faithful servant, working hard to bring people back to God. He was a reformer, like David before him. He trusted God and held onto him.

Rick talks about how we Jesus wants to use us to change the culture around us, just like Hezekiah did.

Questions to consider:

1. Where do you see opportunities to reform your life and follow Christ more devotedly?

2.⁠ ⁠How does the reality that you are part of God’s kingdom affect your decisions and priorities?

3.⁠ ⁠What can you learn from Hezekiah’s example about clinging onto God in difficulties?

4.⁠ ⁠How can you help bring God’s kingdom renewal to your community?

Like the imaginary friend many of us have in childhood, the Holy Spirit is always with us. But unlike that imaginary friend, the Holy Spirit is absolutely real and never leaves us.

When God created man, he was given the entire nature and character of God – in God’s image. But then in Genesis 2:7 he brought the body of man to cover his image. The breath he breathed was to make God’s character alive – and this breath was the holy spirit. But then in Genesis 3, he sinned and lost the spirit of God. He started to kill and sinning badly. He lost the Holy Spirit.

In this excerpt from the Sermon on the Mount, Rick highlights how clear Jesus is about the goodness of the father, God.

Rick also talks about how Jesus constantly tells us to ask God for help in our lives and helps us with how to pray.

It’s easy to stop asking, to forget how good God is and to forget that He specifically instructs us to pray. Not once in the entire New Testament does Jesus tell us not to ask for what we want.

That doesn’t mean we will be given everything we ask for – but we shouldn’t let that stop us from asking.

Tim looks at how fathering is more than biology. Everyone listening to or watching this message has not only had a biological father, but had someone who has had influence on their life – whether that’s good or bad.

All of us have been an influence on others too, and all of us want to see more good fathering in the world. Tim looks at that the Bible tells us about this, and about how it’s full of good examples of fathers, not least Abraham – the father of many nations.

The Parable of the Sower can be found in Matthew 1: 1-13.

That same day Jesus went out of the house and sat by the lake. 2 Such large crowds gathered around him that he got into a boat and sat in it, while all the people stood on the shore. 3 Then he told them many things in parables, saying: “A farmer went out to sow his seed. 4 As he was scattering the seed, some fell along the path, and the birds came and ate it up. 5 Some fell on rocky places, where it did not have much soil. It sprang up quickly, because the soil was shallow. 6 But when the sun came up, the plants were scorched, and they withered because they had no root. 7 Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up and choked the plants. 8 Still other seed fell on good soil, where it produced a crop—a hundred, sixty or thirty times what was sown. 9 Whoever has ears, let them hear.”

10 The disciples came to him and asked, “Why do you speak to the people in parables?”

11 He replied, “Because the knowledge of the secrets of the kingdom of heaven has been given to you, but not to them. 12 Whoever has will be given more, and they will have an abundance. Whoever does not have, even what they have will be taken from them. 13 This is why I speak to them in parables:

“Though seeing, they do not see;though hearing, they do not hear or understand.

14 In them is fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah:

“‘You will be ever hearing but never understanding;you will be ever seeing but never perceiving.15 For this people’s heart has become calloused;they hardly hear with their ears,and they have closed their eyes.Otherwise they might see with their eyes,hear with their ears,understand with their heartsand turn, and I would heal them.’[a]

16 But blessed are your eyes because they see, and your ears because they hear. 17 For truly I tell you, many prophets and righteous people longed to see what you see but did not see it, and to hear what you hear but did not hear it.

18 “Listen then to what the parable of the sower means: 19 When anyone hears the message about the kingdom and does not understand it, the evil one comes and snatches away what was sown in their heart. This is the seed sown along the path. 20 The seed falling on rocky ground refers to someone who hears the word and at once receives it with joy. 21 But since they have no root, they last only a short time. When trouble or persecution comes because of the word, they quickly fall away. 22 The seed falling among the thorns refers to someone who hears the word, but the worries of this life and the deceitfulness of wealth choke the word, making it unfruitful. 23 But the seed falling on good soil refers to someone who hears the word and understands it. This is the one who produces a crop, yielding a hundred, sixty or thirty times what was sown.”

God’s love for us is the greatest love story ever told.

Chris Griffiths of Jubilee Church Wirral looks at love in the context of what Jesus did, why he did it and what that means for us today.

Chris also looks at all the different types of love mentioned in Greek in the Bible – Eros (romantic, passionate love); Philia (intimate, authentic friendship); Erotoropia or ludus (playful, flirtatious love); Storge (unconditional, familial love); Philautia (compassionate self-love); Pragma (committed, companionate love); Agápe (empathetic, universal love).

Rick continues his series on God the Father by looking at what it means to be adopted into God’s family – to become a part of God’s family.

Paul talks about this in Galatians 3:26-4:7, Romans 8:12-17 and Ephesians 1:4-6.

In these letters, Paul is writing to churches in Galatia, Ephesus and Rome to correct some misunderstandings. The people in these churches have started to live by Old Testament rules and regulations.

Paul reminds them – and us – that although the Old Testament laws are good, Jesus has come to transform us from the inside out.

Through prayer, and exercising our spiritual gifts, we can lead others to Jesus. God has entrusted us with the authority of believers and we should use it wisely.

But Mothers are so powerful, having a huge influence on their children, and deserve to be celebrated.

Looking at Mark 1:14-20, 2:13-17, Dave talks about how God wants something from us. He wants us to :

* Repent and Believe in the gospel* Put the call to follow Jesus before our careers* Put the call to follow Jesus before our families* Put the call to follow Jesus before earning money

We are to learn from Jesus, love like Jesus and live like Jesus. As Jonathan Parnell says: “A disciple of Jesus is a worshiper, a servant, and a witness.”

Jesus showed us how to surrender to God’s will. We need to put our faith in God’s will, not our own – just like Noah and Moses.

Noah built an ark that was 75 feet wide and 450 feet long taking thousands of man hours. It was not easy and let’s not forget he didn’t have a B&Q to use for materials!

Moses is called to lead the Israelites out of Egypt and, after raising objection upon objection, finally accepts God’s will.

Fast forward to Jesus. After asking God to take the cup of his crucifixion away, he says “may your will be done.|

Jesus conquered his fears through prayer and submission, showing us by example how we can do just that.

1 Peter 5: 1-4: So I exhort the elders among you, as a fellow elder and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, as well as a partaker in the glory that is going to be revealed: shepherd the flock of God that is among you, exercising oversight,[a] not under compulsion, but willingly, as God would have you;[b] not for shameful gain, but eagerly; not domineering over those in your charge, but being examples to the flock. And when the chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the unfading crown of glory.

Ephesians 3:10: So that through the church the manifold wisdom of God might now be made known to the rulers and authorities in the heavenly places.

It is as if the three are in a constantly moving dance.

Dave also talks about how Jesus suffered all that we suffered PLUS death on the cross, and went through it all to provide salvation for us.

Mark 1:9-15

The Baptism of Jesus

9 In those days Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee and was baptized by John in the Jordan. 10 And when he came up out of the water, immediately he saw the heavens being torn open and the Spirit descending on him like a dove. 11 And a voice came from heaven, “You are my beloved Son;[a] with you I am well pleased.”

The Temptation of Jesus

12 The Spirit immediately drove him out into the wilderness. 13 And he was in the wilderness forty days, being tempted by Satan. And he was with the wild animals, and the angels were ministering to him.

Jesus Begins His Ministry

14 Now after John was arrested, Jesus came into Galilee, proclaiming the gospel of God, 15 and saying, “The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent and believe in the gospel.”

God wants us to know him. He draws our hearts and our heads and as our knowledge of him deepens, we change.

Jesus is the active agent of God in every part of his gracious purpose toward the human race and reveals God to us in a person. But he is infinitely more.

1. Jesus is the person of God – he is the image of the invisible God2. Jesus is the beginning – he has supremacy over time3. Jesus is the origin – he has supremacy over cause4. Jesus is the purpose – he has supremacy over meaning5. Jesus is the essence – he has supremacy over cause, effect and every step of continued existence6. Jesus is the head of the church – he has supremacy over his body7. Jesus is the first to return from the dead – he has supremacy over death8. Jesus is the only way – he has supremacy over our eternal destiny9. Jesus is the hope of all things – he has supremacy over peace and restoration.

Keith looks into how, as worshippers of God, we also need to be on mission for God, and how we need to stop shrinking God and His power – otherwise our lives can become joyless, because joy is a fruit of the spirit. Christian joy is not external – it is internal.

If we look to other things for our joy – reputation, possessions, money – they will let us down, whereas God and the Holy Spirit never will.

Keith reminds us that Paul was in chains for Christ, and yet was able to say ‘I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances.’

It can be hard to talk to people we don’t know or who we feel we don’t have anything in common with.

It can be even harder to talk to people we don’t know – or even those that we do know – about Jesus and what he has done in our lives.

And yet that it was Jesus calls us to do. We need to be confident in sharing how he has helped us and how he can help others.

Dave looks at the story of Lazarus and reminds us that Jesus has a plan; He knows what’s ahead. We can trust Him.

When we encounter God’s delays, it isn’t because He doesn’t love us.

We are all affected by death – it is a shadow upon our lives. We need to be ready and have faith as we walk into those things.

We shouldn’t accept death as something natural – it wasn’t God’s original purpose. Eternal life was. That’s why we struggle with it – because something in us rejects it.

Instead of trying to accept death as something natural, we should:

Grieve with faith and hope

Know God’s love

Accept God’s grace

Questions to consider:

1. Jesus delays leaving to see Lazarus when he hears he is ill. What delays have you experienced / are experiencing and how have you dealt with it?

2. What differences do you see in how Martha and Mary interact with Jesus after the loss of their brother? What can we learn from them?  (1 Thes 4:13-14)

3. What do we learn about Jesus from this passage? In how he responds and what he does?

4. God’s grace shown to Lazarus is like what happens to us when we get saved. How can we learn to accept God’s grace?

Jesus can be seen to be our one true vine and we are called to abide – or find out home – in Him, which means being rightly related to Christ’s word, making a commitment to prayer and obeying Him.

Dave also looks into what the results will be when we do that.

Jesus came not to share about faith, or preach, but to restore the kingdom of God. During the three years that Jesus preached, he only preached about the kingdom of God.

When God created man, he had a plan. He wanted to bring His kingdom to earth. He created man in His own image and likeness to rule and dominate over every living thing. That is why He created every one of us.

Genesis 1:26-28 (AMP): Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; and let them have complete authority over the fish of the sea, the birds of the air, the cattle, and over the entire earth, and over everything that creeps and crawls on the earth.” So God created man in His own image, in the image and likeness of God He created him; male and female He created them. And God blessed them [ and said to them, “Be fruitful, multiply, and fill the earth, and subjugate it; and rule over the fish of the sea, the birds of the air, and every living thing that moves upon the earth.”

We are supposed to rule everything that God has created. So what’s gone wrong?

Abraham was a shepherd and the patriarch of the Jewish nation. Moses tended his flock for 40 years before God asked him to go back and rescue his people. King David was a shepherd boy before he was a warrior and a king.

Shepherds were the first to see the newborn baby Jesus.

In John 10, Jesus says that he is our good shepherd, who lays down his life for the sheep. Denise goes into what that means for us; ultimately that Jesus will take you home to his house, to dwell with him forever.

We are too weak in our own understanding to live a life which glorifies God – it is only through Him and in his strength that we can do those things.

In the same way, Jesus needed to die in order for his ministry to grow across the world.

Rick challenges us about how willing we are to make our faith public even if it costs us. It cost Jesus his life – what are we willing to sacrifice?

Charlotte challenges us to be people who are helping the church move towards achieving its mission. People whose lifestyle matches up to what we say is in our hearts.

She urges us to say to God “We are yours. We trust ourselves to your sovereignty. Do with us what you will” and stop thinking “but what if…?” and start thinking “even if…”

That’s every single one of us – whatever we think of ourselves. We might think we’re not good enough to be used by God but that’s not true – that’s a lie that is coming straight from the devil.

Mark reminds us that when God looks at us, he doesn’t just see the sin in us, he sees his son – Jesus. And his son says you’re enough!

At the end of the talk, Mark invites anyone who wants to give their lives to Jesus to come forward. If Mark’s message inspires you to give your life to Him, that’s amazing news! To talk to someone about your decision, please get in touch with us by visiting our website at jubileechurchwirral.org.uk or by emailing rick@jubileechurchwirral.org.uk. We’d love to talk to you!

Vernon goes into how there are two areas where we are called to be disciples:

– Our homes

– The world

Vernon talks about how our homes should be filled with Christ and our marriages too. Husbands should lay down their lives for Christ in the home because that is their role; it is their responsibility to bring the gospel into their homes.

Although Jesus is the son of God and son of man, He is also the son of David.

Dave goes into how we need to accept the Old Testament prophecies about Christ – as Bartimaeus does in Mark 10: 47.

We need to accept Jesus as who He is, not who we want Him to be.

Jubilee Church Wirral planted out from Jubilee Church Liverpool in 2003, meeting first in the Overton Community Centre and then Overchurch Junior School, before buying the former All Saints Church in 2013.

After a lot of work, we opened it as The Jubilee Centre and started meeting here in Spring 2013, holding our official grand public opening on Sunday June 2nd 2013.

On Sunday June 4th 2023, we held a special meeting at the centre, celebrating God’s goodness and faithfulness.

Chris urges us to ask ourselves how salty we are and breaks the challenge of being salty down into three areas: Baptism, Prayer and Fellowship.

Jesus was baptised, spent a lot of time in prayer and also spent a lot of time in fellowship with the disciples. If it was good enough for Jesus, shouldn’t it be good enough for us?

Chris talks about how Jesus transformed the disciples from fishermen to world changers and asks us:

• What did it look like?
• What can we learn from it?
• What do we need to do to emulate them?

Chris talks about how Jesus taught his disciples to teach others the same things he taught them, how we are still on the same assignment today and how the Bible is a training manual to help us to do that.

In his first message, entitled ‘He is God!’, Dave looks at John 1: 1-8.

Dave challenges us to answer questions including ‘Why does it matter?’ and ‘Why should I follow him?’

By saying that he and God are one and the same, Jesus only gives us three options – that he is a liar, a lunatic, or Lord. Which do you believe?

Mary looks into what Jesus meant when, in John 14, he promised to send another helper to be with us forever: the Holy Spirit.

Mary reminds us that the Holy Spirit is a gift – all we need to do is ask and God will give it. He wants us all to have it.

Dave looks at giving to the poor, and why we should:

– Make it a priority

– Plan to give

– Remember that everyone has the opportunity to give

– Give proportionally

He also encourages us to

– Be watchful in prayer

– Stand Firm in our faith

– Be strong in the Lord

“Be watchful, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong. Let all that you do be done in love.”

Dave continues our series on Identity Confirmed Through the Lens of the Gospel.

In a world where we are constantly bombarded with images of how we should look, Dave reminds us that the Bible tells us that when Jesus comes again and we get to heaven, our bodies will be transformed.

Our lives on earth are like seeds – they only produce what they are intended for when the resurrection comes.

Phil talks about how we are vulnerable, like jars of clay, but how these verses remind us that we are:

• Hard pressed by life, but not crushed
• Perplexed, but not in despair

• Struck down, but not destroyed

We may be like jars of clay, but we have treasure in our jars of clay, and that we have a hope: Jesus.
