Josh Fitzhugh encourages the participants to study God's Word - to do the hard work and not take the shortcuts in order that we might know God. He then shows how the thoughts that God has inspired encourages us to see the logical order and often how connected seemingly separate incidents, topics and conversations are. For these sessions, Josh is focusing on John chapters 7-11.

Cross-cultural Mission in the 2025
"It has always been my ambition to preach the gospel where Christ was not known, so that I would not be building on someone else’s foundation." Romans 15:20

Living with the ambition of making Christ known worldwide, Mission today looks a little different from how it used to. The world has changed — people move more, cultures overlap, and the good news of Jesus can travel further and faster than ever before. Yet at the same time, there are still billions who’ve never had a real chance to hear it. In thi...

Peter Mitchell explores how Colossians 1:15-24 continues the themes found in Hebrews. Christ is the preeminent, the firstborn and ultimately the champion.

‘For he was looking forward to the city with foundations, whose architect and builder is God.’ Hebrews 11:10

Hebrews paints a picture of faith as a long pilgrimage, where believers journey toward a heavenly city. Drawing on Abraham’s example, we’ll explore what it means to live as strangers here while longing for the home God has prepared. This session lifts our eyes to our future hope — the city with foundations, whose architect and builder is God.

Group Discussion Questions
• How does Abraham’s faith model life as a pilgrim and stranger?
• What “better things” lie...

‘But in fact the ministry Jesus has received is as superior
to theirs as the covenant of which he is mediator is
superior to the old one, since the new covenant is
established on better promises.’ Hebrews 8:6

At the heart of Hebrews is the message that Jesus mediates a better
covenant — one that brings real forgiveness, a clean conscience,
and direct access to God. In this session we’ll explore the beauty of
Christ’s priesthood and the security of His once-for-all sacrifice.
This “better covenant” invites us to live in freedom and...

The greatest danger facing many believers is not open rebellion
against God but drift — a slow, almost unnoticed movement away
from the gospel. Hebrews calls us to pay careful attention to what
we have heard, remembering that salvation is not to be taken
lightly. This session helps us recognise spiritual drift and rediscover
the wonder of the gospel that anchors us.

Discussion Questions
• What might drift look like in life — and why is it often subtle?
Think of the example of Israel in the wilderness.
• How does God confirm the mess...

Hebrews opens with a majestic vision of Jesus Christ — God’s final Word and the radiance of His glory. Yet the letter also speaks to weary believers who have faced hardship and are tempted to retreat. In this session we’ll see that perseverance is not about personal grit but about confidence in the unchanging greatness of Christ, who calls us to press on with eyes fixed on Him.

In the final session for the week, Gareth looks at the priestly role of Christians, interceding for the world as Christ intercedes for us. But to serve the world we must first humble ourselves in Obedient Humility. Holiness never precedes humility.

This series features the book of Leviticus. Join us as Gareth McMeekin leads us in exploring how its ancient laws and rituals reveal timeless principles about holiness, sacrifice, and the nature of God.

This session explores the biblical concept of priesthood, focusing on the role of believers as intercessors between a broken world and God. The session challenges listeners to reflect on how they, as modern-day "royal priests" (1 Peter 2:9), can compassionately carry out this sacred role in daily life.

In this session we take a look at the the conditions set in place for God to be in the midst of Israel. We see the magnitude of the distance that separates sinful man from a holy God. The need for atonement was great during the times of Moses, and we finally see the final anointing being fulfilled in Jesus Christ our High Priest.

"Not only is God making a point that He is holy, but He is looking for a people who are also holy." Gareth brings to us the challenges the priesthood faces of distinguishing what is holy and unholy. For both the priesthood of the Israelites, and the priesthood of today.
