Summer 2026 Update
New Podcast Series!
The Unexpected Christ
Just as the Jews in Jesus’ day had wrong ideas about their Messiah, some views about him now can likewise be at odds with the truth. From the belief that he was a mere social reformer to the idea that his teachings drain the colour out of life, David Gooding examines some popularly held views about our Lord and corrects them under the light of the Gospels. Examining what the Gospel accounts have to teach about the character of Christ will challenge us to realign our own views with the original facts about the one who claimed to be the truth.
'The Unexpected Christ’ is a four-part series and will be released weekly, with the first episode coming out on 1st July. They will feature the key segments from each sermon, with enhanced audio.
