Big Objections Part 1 - Why Does God Allow Suffering by Gateway Church Swindon

John Edmonds preached from Jonah chapter 2, showing the story of God's relentless love for those who are His children through covenant faith in His promises.

Far from being a big fish story about a running prophet, the book of Jonah is a story about God and His mission to rescue people who are far from him. Over six weeks as we navigate the choppy waters of Jonah's journey and see his love/hate relationship with God and the city, I believe God wants to directly challenge our attitude and heart to love our great city and to seek its blessing.

Darrell Tunningley shared his incredible story of how God powerfully encountered him and turned his life upside down whilst in Prison for armed robbery and drug offences.

At the start of a new year, Nigel encourages us to use it as an opportunity to get before God to say 'thank you' for what has taken place, and to recommit ourselves for the next season of life.

Christmas is a great time to stop, reflect on and think about important things in life - family, friends, ambitions etc. But, Christmas can also be a great time to stop and think about the deeper questions of our lives. Colin explores the heart of the true Christmas story and shows that it is the demonstration of a statement so profound and radical, that if true changes everything - 'God loves you.'

Listen to us sharing news of how God has been leading Simon & Fiona (& children) to move to Biggin Hill to lead New Life Church, part of our Regions Beyond family of churches.

As we head towards the end of our Radically Different series, Nigel looks at the significance of what it means to be the people of God worshipping together and asks the question 'why bother gathering together to worship?'

Al continues in our preaching series Radically Different, looking at how the invitation to know God fuels our worship, and how our worship fuels our desire to know God.
