Description
We are a local church in Dublin that meets regularly to read the bible as we follow Jesus Christ. For many of us, hearing the Bible’s message explained helped us to understand who Jesus is, his mission and his relevance. These messages are expository. They were prepared to faithfully explain and apply what the Bible says. We hope that as you listen, you too will hear the message of God's Word and the prompt to respond by following the Lord Jesus Christ.

Being a Christian will not lead to a comfortable, successful and prosperous life. To be a Christian is to live a life of gospel suffering as you humbly announce God’s gracious, saving action in sending Jesus to die for our sins.
Gospel fluency will help you as you take the gospel to the people around you. This message offers Biblical and practical help for Christians as they share the good news.
Even though we live in a share-happy world, ordinary Christians are often reluctant evangelists. This message looks at the Great Commission and offers some practical ways we might overcome this reluctance.
Here we get a glimpse of the future. For people who have placed their trust in the Lord Jesus Christ, they have more to look forward to than a grand stretch in the evenings, or a few brighter days, or a longed-for break in the sun: Here the Bible describes the extraordinary hope of the new heaven and the new earth.
Listen to how the writer to the Hebrews explains Jesus' sacrifice - once for all!
Far from being a tragedy, the cross, in the grand scheme of things, is in fact the accomplishment of God’s eternal, sovereign rescue plan.
Jesus describes two "musts" to a high-flyer that explain the very core of the gospel. Listen in.
Three important themes from a climcatic part of the Grand Scheme of Things
What if this card arrived at your door?
Isaiah records God's solution to humanity’s greatest need: His suffering, silent, substitutionary Servant, sent to save sinners.
Writing to the Colossians, Paul shares a picture with them. It's a picture of God and what he has done.
God’s people had put themselves at the centre of things. Through Ezekiel, He reminds them that it’s not all about them! Instead, His concern is that all the people of the world see who he is: his glory and his grace. God is promising radical transformation.
We crave good leadership because we have been left wanting by lofty promises. What if there was a better leader? One who could bring proper restoration?
Who is taking the initiative at this major turning point in the history of God and his people?
You may have wondered what God is really like. How he relates to people. As you read the Bible, that picture gradually emerges. And then, every so often we get a section like Exodus 19 that brings extraordinary clarity. Studying the Bible today we are about to see (or be reminded of) what God is really like.
The grim story of human wickedness in the early chapters of Genesis is suddenly and dramatically pierced by the Lord's words in Genesis 12.
Really? That’s the crafty word spoken in Genesis 3, verse 1. That’s the first word that ruptures the harmony of everything God had made.
From the very start, the Bible tells us firstly that God exists, and secondly, it is all about Him. God - and God alone - created the universe. In this series, we're considering the grand scheme of things. And it doesn’t get much grander than the God who made everything here in Genesis 1.
This new series of messages is called The Grand Scheme of Things. It will take us on a tour through the Bible, God’s Word. The aim is to help us to see more clearly how this book is more than a collection of disconnected stories. We need to understand how God disclosed Himself and His plans in history. We are starting with this text here in Ephesians 1, because it’s like arriving at the Bible’s south rim (imagine arriving at the Grand Canyon!)Here we get a panoramic of who God is and what He has done. Today we are going to see a vista of The Plan.
Staying the course as a Christian is not something you can do by yourself. As Paul sets out his vision for these fledgling believers, he urges them to pay close attention to their relationships. Listen in.
