A message from the series "Little Letters of the New Testament." (3 John 1-14)
In our second sermon in the Little Letters series Iain takes a look at the Letter of 3 John. Here John is writing to his dear friend Gaius, inviting us to consider what example will we choose to imitate?
Will we seek to build community, or division?
Join us as Iain unpacks this letter with an important challenge for us as the Church today.

(Romans 12:9-21)
Relationships can be hard at times, rather than being life-giving they can begin to throw out sparks. Yet they are essential for who we are as people. So how are we meant to make sure our relationships operate well?
Paul challenges us in Romans 12 to stop sowing fake love to people and instead, begin truly loving them. He then unpacks what that looks like, including when people don't respond in the same way back.
Relationships are such a huge part of life - We have friendships, family relationships, work colleagues, teammates.... the list goes on.
When they work well these relationships are life-giving and encouraging. Yet sometimes, these same relationships can start to cause friction. What are we meant to do when sparks begin to fly?
