John sees a door open in heaven and describes the throne room. Pastor Adam opens on worship as a journey into what is actually the case, set against a moment where truth has been quietly reassigned to individuals as “your” truth.

“Lord, teach us to pray.” Pastor Adam takes Luke 11 as instruction rather than inspiration, and refuses to soften the parable that follows: Jesus commends a kind of asking that a polite person would be embarrassed by.

Mark’s Easter account is the strangest of the four: the women find the stone already moved, and run. Pastor Adam preaches it, and Pastor Jim reads the gospel in his late brother’s Easter tie, answering what difference resurrection makes with someone specific in mind.

A joyful crowd, genuinely mistaken about what it is celebrating. Pastor Adam preaches Palm Sunday as a warning that popularity is evidence of nothing in either direction, and that what the road wanted was a political saviour rather than a universal king.

Harry Wilson preaches Psalm 119 on God as an authoritative Father, which is neither authoritarian nor permissive. The psalm is relentlessly about law, and yet its verbs are all affection, which is the tension the message works.

Eleven on a mountain, some worshipping and some doubting, and the commission handed to both. Pastor Adam opens Accelerate on the claim that precedes the command, and on there being no difference between believing for forgiveness and being sent.
