Jesus Gives The Spirit

Everyone wants to be ‘spiritual’ but no one wants to be ‘religious’.

What do we mean by ‘spirituality’ and what does it mean to be filled with the Spirit of God in everyday life?

Jesus Gives His Life

What did Jesus mean when he identified a piece of bread with his flesh?

What does it mean to feed on Jesus?

What is happening in communion?

And is it any surprise that people were confused by Jesus at times?

Jesus Gives Security

What is your deepest hunger?

What are the things that feel insatiable?

For some it’s intimacy, for others security, for others it might be approval.

John points us to Jesus who feeds our deepest hungers.

What You Need To Know (March 2024)

Details of what’s going on at Salford Elim Church over the next few weeks, and also further into 2024, along with some other useful links…

Fourth & Fifth Signs – Jesus offers us new possibilities

Anxiety preys on all of us.

It makes us fear we won’t have enough, or that we will be overwhelmed.

Jesus knows this and is able to transform these fears of not having enough to living abundantly.

Jesus Challenges Our Assumptions

In a world where it feels everyone is ready to argue, it’s easy to be defensive about our own assumptions.

But if we are going to see the world differently, we need to allow our assumptions about life to be challenged.

It’s what Jesus did to people in his time. It’s what he still does.

Second & Third Signs – Jesus Heals

When John wrote the gospel, he includes just 7 miracles – even though he knew a lot more happened.

What his account highlights is how Jesus engages our vulnerabilities and brings us back to health.

Back to life.

We Need A New Hope

You can see that some people have been broken by life.

Others just hide it well.

How honest can we be?

Jesus steps into our brokenness and stops us being defined by it.

What You Need To Know (February 2024)

As we go into the second month of the year, things are settling down, so there’s not quite so much to let you know about this month.

But we hope what we do have helps…

We Need A New Heart

One of the questions that crops up at regular intervals throughout life is one of the most basic ones: ‘Can we change? Can the direction of my life change?’

Jesus offers hope that things are not fixed, that change is possible to all who are open.

It begins with the heart.

First Sign – Jesus Offers New Life

Too many of us wonder whether we are good enough, or fear what others might think about us.

The power of shame can be crippling.

Jesus rescues us from that power so that we can live joy-filled lives.

When He Calls, I’ll Follow

Life is complicated.

We can either try to work out our own pathway, or we can accept the invitation of the One who knows where he is going and wants us to walk alongside him.
