Living the Cross

Living the Cross
This sermon series ran from 12th April - 31st May 2026.

Following Easter, this series explores what it means to be followers of Jesus. His death and resurrection form the basis of our hope and our life together. In the light of what he has done, how should we live as his disciples? What does the cross really mean for us today, and how should the church community be formed by Jesus's death and resurrection?

Watch the talks here:

	Living the cross: People of Life	Speaker: Peter Livey
	In the first sermon of the series, Peter explores what it means to be people who have their whole life residing in the cross of Christ.

	Living the cross: People of Grace	Speaker: Dom Turner
	In this sermon we explore what it means to be saved by the grace of God. In Christ we have life, freedom, and hope.

	Living the cross: People of Love	Speaker: Dom Turner
	What defines you? In John's first letter, he talks about three marks of the Christian faith: the confession of Christ; the possession of the Spirit; and the practice of love. In this talk we think about all three, but we focus down on the practice of love.

	Living the cross: People of Service	Speaker: Dom Turner
	On the cross, Jesus demonstrates deep service. He calls us to do the same: but how do we overcome the issues of ambition and resentment that plague the human heart?

	Living the cross: People of Hope	Speaker: Dom Turner
	We are called to run a marathon, not a sprint, and to keep our eyes fixed on Jesus. How can we live with hope in a world which so often encourages us to despair?

	Living the Cross: People of Power	Speaker: Dom Turner
	At Pentecost, the Holy Spirit came and filled God's people, and birthed the Church. What did this mean then, and what does it mean for us today?

	Living the Cross: People of God	Speaker: Liz Livey
	Our series ends with an exploration of what it means to be the people of God, commissioned and sent by Christ. Do we allow God to disturb us, inspire our dreams, and do we dare to follow him?
