Barry explains the biblical basis for regularly giving money proportionally to income in support of Christian people and ministries.

Jon speaks about Paul's rebuke of the way that the Corinthian Church approached the Lord's Supper with the wrong attitudes. He considers what we declare in the manner we take Communion and cautions against forgetting that we eat and drink in thankful remembrance of the sacrifice of Christ, proclaiming our faith in his death as we do.

This week, Jon tackles a controversial passage in 1 Corinthians about Propriety in Worship and head coverings. Clothing and the attitudes people dress themselves with can send strong messages, for the Christian, these messages need to glorify their "head."

Returning to the series on 1 Corinthians, Jon explains that Christian freedoms shouldn't be put ahead of love, sharing the Gospel or glorifying God.

This week at 5PM there was a special guest service for the baptism and dedication of many of the children recently born to the congregation. Barry describes the way that the existence of God is revealed to mankind and that He is a God who is an interesting, holy and loving Father who invites us to come to Him.

Kicking off this quarterly prayer week, Barry examines the relationship between prayer and the gift of the Holy Spirit put forward in Luke. We can ask for the Holy Spirit and He will be given to us, bringing us the full experience of the love of God and applying His power to the works of evangelism that we carry out.

Barry continues to speak on Paul's warning to the Corinthians to flee from idolatry because it is attractive and dangerous. When we participate in the Lord's Supper, we put our faith in Jesus and our sins are cleansed by his blood, but when involved with idols, demonic influence can be encountered.

Barry amplifies Paul's warning to the Corinthians to avoid idolatry and sexual immorality. He warns us to be on our guard as they are strongly seductive and that we not put God to the test by seeing how close we can get to temptation.

Jon studies Paul's pragmatic approach of being a slave to all people so that he can make the Gospel accessible to them as well as enslaving himself so that on the final day he may share the prize of being reunited with his brothers and sisters in Christ.

Bishop Rob Forsyth visits and preaches for the confirmation service this week at Sunday@Seven and also therefore at 5PM.  He tells that the Christian believer in this world faces serious struggle and conflict of the nature of a spiritual battle, but has the remarkable promise that she or he can withstand it by relying on the invincible power of Christ.
