flow - understanding god's love
A new series starting 6th September 2009
Whenever we hear "God loves us" we tend to miss the massive truth that lies in that simple statement. Understanding the love of God is the foundation of the christian life and will radically and undeniably change you and the world around you. Learn with us how to flow in the love of God.
flow week 1 - As simple as left and right?
6th September 2009 Speaker: Andrew Toogood

flow week 2 - Unconditional Love
13th September 2009 Speaker: Andrew Toogood
the world does not understand unconditional love. Our relationship with God can seem difficult when we take our own experience of love and project that onto God. His love is nothing like human love - it is a love based on His commitment to your very best - a deliberate choice that He makes....
flow week 3 - The greatest of these
20th September 2009 Speaker: Jill Boyd
1st corinthians 13 is a classic bit of the bible that is largely used to describe how we should love each other. But there is so much more to it than that. Jill Boyd, associate Pastor in Exchange Church, explains what God says to us about how he loves us.

flow week 5 - so offended!
4th October 2009 Speaker: Jill Boyd
how do you deal with offence? one of the keys to keeping a flow of Gods love in our live is to deal properly with people when they offend us.

flow week 6 - Get over yourself!
11th October 2009 Speaker: Andrew Toogood
nobody like to think that pride might be an issue in your life. However the bible tells us that pride is the thing that leads to every evil work in our lives. Dealing with pride is not about being a nicer people but essential for keeping ourselves in the love of God. Pride blocks Gods love from flowing in us and through us. How then do we deal with it?

flow week 10 - faith works through love
15th November 2009 - Speaker Andrew Toogood
Finishing the series on the love of God, this week is about how faith works through Love. Paul writing to the Galatians encourages us to stand firm in our freedom whereas many christians are battling to “increase their faith” when the word of God tells us that faith works through an understanding of how God loves us.
