Pastor Chris continues our ‘Bible Books in Twenty Minutes’ series with a sharp and thoughtful look at the Book of James — a letter some have found controversial because James appears to say the opposite of Paul, insisting that we are not saved by faith alone. In this message, Pastor Chris shows how James and Paul are not opponents but partners, each revealing a different side of the same gospel truth. Our reading is James 1:9–27, where James calls us to a faith that listens, obeys, and bears fruit. Link for todays reading-https://www.bible.com/bible/59/JAS.1.19-27.ESV

Welcome back to our series Bible Books in Twenty Minutes, where we take a fast‑paced but deeply meaningful look at each book of Scripture. This evening, Pastor Chris turns our attention to the letter of Titus—a short but powerful book all about living out the gospel with integrity, hope, and purpose. Our reading comes from Titus 2:11–14, where Paul reminds us: “For the grace of God has appeared that offers salvation to all people… while we wait for the blessed hope—the appearing of the glory of our great God and Saviour, Jesus Christ.” It’s a passage that calls us to a transformed life—one shaped not by our own strength, but by the saving grace of Christ who “gave himself for us to redeem us from all wickedness.” In just twenty minutes, Chris unpacks the heart of Titus: a church called to good works, a people shaped by grace, and a hope anchored in the return of our Saviour. So grab your Bible, settle in, and let’s explore this rich and practical letter together.

Welcome back to the Channel. Today we continue our series where Pastor Chris takes us through an entire book of the Bible… in just 20 minutes. This week, we’re diving into 2 Timothy — Paul’s final letter, written from a Roman prison cell as he neared the end of his life. It’s personal, urgent, and full of encouragement. Paul writes to his young co-worker Timothy, urging him to stay faithful, to guard the gospel, to endure hardship, and to keep preaching the Word even when it’s unpopular. 2 Timothy is a book about passing the torch, holding firm to truth, and living with courage when the world pushes back. It’s Paul’s last recorded words — and they carry the weight of a man who knows what truly matters. So grab your Bible, settle in, and let’s explore this powerful letter together as Pastor Chris walks us through 2 Timothy in 20 minutes.
