Our weekly memorial service not only serves to remind us of the importance of Jesus in our lives, it also allows us to reprioritise. In rekindling the memory of the exodus (the trial imposed on Israel because they kept forgetting), Andrew asks us: do we forget that we are children of God? On our journeys, let’s not forget, let’s not lose sight of all that Jesus has done, and the relationship we have with God. On this Rememberance Sunday, Andrew explores the fragility of memory, or perhaps not memory but priorities.

Tony explores the lessons we can learn and put into practice in our lives. https://www.thebethel.org/podcasts/2018-03-25%20-%20A%20lepers%20salvation%20-%20Tony%20Tasker.mp3 Sun, 25 March 2018 13:37:45 +0100 Christianity clean 00:48:37 audio@thebethel.orgGod,Jesus,Spirit,Christianity,Christian,Love,Joy,Peace,Unity,Diversity The Bethel - Old Trafford Christadelphian Church We always find ourselves somewhere in between the mountain tops and the valley in life.

Of our 5 main senses which are :- Seeing, Touching, Tasting, Smelling and Hearing , the bible refers more to Hearing than the others. Seeing is a close 2nd. but Listening and Hearing are mentioned the most. Also it is interesting that the Prophet Jeremiah features it's significance more than any other writer in the Old Testament. The relevance of this emphasis is because we habitually allow ourselves to 'switch off' from the importance of absorbing through the clarity and power of meaningful hearing, God's Wisdom and Words to us. https://www.thebethel.org/podcasts/2014-07-27%20-%20Hearing%20and%20Listening%20-%20John%20Brand.mp3 Sun, 27 July 2014 22:28:02 +0100 Christianity clean 00:57:48 audio@thebethel.orgGod,Jesus,Spirit,Christianity,Christian,Love,Joy,Peace,Unity,Diversity The Bethel - Old Trafford Christadelphian Church Pete encourages us to look below the surface and dig deep into the accounts we read of in the bible to find greater meaning and application for our lives.

Alex encourages us to take heart, during and after all sorts of troubles and difficulties in life, it can be all right, it will be all right. He isn't pretending it is easy, the pain continues to be very real and very obvious, but he found that even in the thickest fog of despair, the deepest chasm of sorrow, the murkiest waters of upturned aspirations, we are still loved by God. We are, by His grace and by His people, still held close to the steady, rhythmical beat of His heart and offered access to an endless peace, serenity and comfort. Trust God, be open to His presence and the work of His spirit in your life, and you will feel the shalom that He brings. Blessed are you who mourn, for you will be comforted. Fortunate are you who’s hearts are completely broken over loss, because God Himself will carry your load. https://www.thebethel.org/podcasts/2012-12-30%20-%20Blessed%20are%20those%20who%20Mourn%20-%20Alex%20Green.mp3 Sun, 30 Dec 2012 09:12:42 Christianity clean 01:00:59 audio@thebethel.orgGod,Jesus,Spirit,Christianity,Christian,Love,Joy,Peace,Unity,Diversity The Bethel - Old Trafford Mike walks us through the Christmas story, taking less-common angles on the story, not being scared to connect with the very real dirt and grime of the most remarkable birth in history.

He uses the warnings from Jeremiah who spoke to Israel about the same problem in Chapter 19 and then leads us on to the idea that we should be emulating and difficult to tell apart from Jesus. Jesus, being the 'exact representation of the father' is our template, we are attempting to be the 'fedai' of Jesus and God in this world, not being chamelions who 'conform to the patterns of this world', but being catterpillars that are 'transformed by the renewing of our minds' (Romans 12). https://www.thebethel.org/podcasts/2012-07-29%20-%20Can%20you%20tell%20the%20difference%20-%20Mike%20Tanner.mp3 Sun, 29 Jul 2012 22:12:07 +0100 Christianity clean 01:01:43 audio@thebethel.orgGod,Jesus,Spirit,Christianity,Christian,Love,Joy,Peace,Unity,Diversity The Bethel - Old Trafford Christadelphian Church What do you do in a crisis?

John Downer tackles this question to encourage us. How can our Joy be complete as is asserted by Jesus in John 15:11? We were encourraged to think of God continuing his daily work in us, developing a people for himself, and that as Jesus sees that, his desire is to join in. This process gives Joy to both Jesus and God. And hopefully, as we realise that God and Christ have great joy in us - joy enough to make them sing over us, we will be inspired to share that Joy with other people, bring that joy into other people's lives.
