Why do human beings show such remarkable courage and goodness, yet also commit such terrible evil? Pastor Colin Smith explores the Bible’s answer in Genesis: we are made in God’s image, giving every life dignity and worth, but we are also born in the likeness of fallen Adam.
Discover why this ‘double image’ helps us understand ourselves and our world, and why no one is born a Christian—but God’s grace in Jesus Christ is offered freely to all.

Christians are not people who think they are better than others. Rather, they know they are far from righteous and deeply in need of a Saviour. In this message from Ecclesiastes 7, Pastor Colin Smith helps us face the reality of sin without blaming God for the brokenness we see in the world.
As we honestly confess our need, we discover fresh hope in Jesus Christ—the only one who is truly righteous. He offers us the righteousness we could never achieve for ourselves, inviting us to come to God with humble, thankful hearts.

Why is the world as it is, and why do we find it so hard to love God and do what is right? In this first message from The Inside Story of Human Life, Pastor Colin Smith opens Ecclesiastes 7 to explore the life Adam and Eve once knew, the reality of sin, and why understanding our condition leads us to the hope found in Jesus Christ.

What do you do when the good news of Jesus seems too good to be true? Pastor Colin Smith encourages us to take an honest look: come and see what Jesus has done, listen to what he has said, and investigate what he offers.
Continuing in 2 Kings, Pastor Colin contrasts closed unbelief with a willingness to seek the truth. Discover the abundant life, forgiveness and reconciliation with God that Christ freely offers, and why those who have received this good news are called to share it.

How do you respond when you hear good news? In 2 Kings 7, Pastor Colin Smith introduces three very different responses to God’s gracious provision: selfishness, doubt and outright unbelief. Discover the joy of receiving the good news of Jesus Christ and sharing it with others.
