About this episode

Paul writes : "We are therefore Christ’s ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us. We implore you on Christ’s behalf: Be reconciled to God" But what does it mean to be an ambassador of Christ? Pastor Andy encourages us with these insights. A UK ambassador must first meet the king. What do we remember about our first meeting with king Jesus? Ambassadors go wherever the king sends them - Paul called himself an ambassador when we was in prison! They know the king’s message and carry it on the king’s behalf. What a privilege! To whom is God sending you with his message of reconciliation?

About this episode

The walls or the rubble - what tends to captivate our attention? Concluding our series from Nehemiah, Pastor Steve shows us how to respond when we become weary, or are tempted to be disheartened. We focus on what God has rebuilt - in His church, and as He works in us to make more like Jesus - more than we focus on what still needs to be done. We build life-affirming spiritual practices in our walk with God, and we find a resting place in God as we trust to Him what’s beyond our control. Take a moment, as Pastor Steve prays at the end, to find your own place of rest in God's presence.

About this episode

In a week where the young people of BCC led our worship, Pastor Bawa shares lessons from Nehemiah about building together. In particular he shares wisdom about building for the future, with and for the next generations of the church. Drawing from the New Testament example of Barnabas and Paul we also learn about both actively investing in our next generations, and when to stand aside to give them room to take responsibilities for themselves. "Let's build the church of tomorrow!"

About this episode

How do you pray when you feel under attack? Humanity, and the church, suffer attacks from dark spiritual forces that damage and disrupt our world. They sow doubt and division by belittling, criticising and creating conflict. Pastor Steve Riley show us how to respond in prayer. We start from the confidence that we don’t need to be afraid - final authority rests with Jesus! Starting with a prayer of Nehemiah, he goes on to share a variety of scriptures to show us how, in practice, we can combine the spiritual practices of Prayer, Proclamation and Praise to fight back with the weapons of the Kingdom of God.

About this episode

What are we trying to build in life? It could be a family, a career, a business, a ministry - whatever it is, it needs to be founded on prayer. In the first of four, highly practical as well as inspirational talks on Nehemiah, Pastor Steve looks at some of Nehemiah's prayers and and encourages us to build four practices into our rhythm of prayer - worship, confession of sin leading to repentance and the liberation of forgiveness, praying the truths of God’s word, and making specific requests for God to answer.

About this episode

Pastor Bawa Leo challenges us to answer the call to consecration, showing us four levels of consecration:

• Following Christ.
• Dedicating ourselves to prayer, ridding ourselves of bitterness and unforgiveness.
• From carrying our own struggles, to carrying those of others in the love and strength of God.
• Living in such freedom in the mercy and love of God that we truly trust that he works all things together for our good.

Pastor Bawa calls us to recognise our need to go deeper with God, and to ask Him what it is in us that hinders our deeper consecration to the Lord.

About this episode

James Jephthah draws us into Jesus' conversation with the apostle Peter in John's gospel chapter 21. James invites us to hear Jesus' questions to Peter, as addressed to us. What do you love more than Jesus? How do you show your love for Him? We go on to Jesus' encounter with a woman in Luke chapter 7. She gives her most precious possession. For this, says Jesus, she will be remembered for ever. What will heaven remember us for? James leaves us with a challenge - this is a day to give ourselves to the Lord. How will we respond to God's love for us by taking up a responsibility that shows our love for Christ?

About this episode

Heike Tiedeck inspires us to get ready to talk about our Christian hope. From 1 Peter, Heike speaks about a life that honours Christ, the advice we might give to people who are being persecuted, compared to Peter’s, and different ways to share the good news of Jesus - through stories, questions and ideas. Heike gives examples from her own witness in her working environment as a nurse and teacher of German to migrants and refugees.

Find out more about Heike and her husband Wolfgang on the BCC missions page: https://www.bccleeds.org/mission
