This week Tim was at the HTB/Alpha leadership conference in London, UK. He heard encouraging story after story of young people coming to faith in dramatic ways – they call it the quiet revival. One huge man, a former violent drug dealer with hoops implanted in his ear lobes and a bolt through his nose spoke about how he encountered Jesus - his life changed immediately.  
But for most of us, our transformation in Christ is more of a slow burn. And that’s what Tim talks about today.

Mike Skevington speaks to St Margaret's about "Walking in love", from Ephesians 4:32-5:2. 
When we are walking in love, out of our Christian faith, we are forgiving, giving and experiencing.

Pastor Tim McGowan speaks at the 7am service from Hebrews 11: 8-15 about our reason to hope and why waiting has a bad press. Christmas seems to get earlier each year, but the story of Abraham encourages us to be people of the present, waiting with expectation for the fulfilment of Gods promises.

Alan speaks from Ezekiel 37: 1-14 and addresses spiritual complacency in the church. It is only openness to the Spirit who makes us alive to Jesus. The 'good' thief dying on the cross next to Jesus recognised his truth, but could not physically do anything or give him anything - he could only ask for salvation. Jesus accepted him. Sheer grace is all we have.

Pete Greig starts our Vision series speaking on the power of prayer. Hear a message of how important it is to simply show up before our loving God.

Vision: Prayer Begins With Presence

Nicky Gumbel continues our Vision series exploring the secret of discovering your purpose.

Vision: Discover Your Purpose

Tim McGowan looks at the story in John 2 about Jesus clearing the temple. Does the anger of Jesus disturb you? What fires you up? Where is your holy discontent for the brokenness in our society? Passion comes from purpose and purpose comes from the Spirit of God. As he cleanses us, so we bring cleansing to the world around us.

4 March 18 Tim McGowan 'Is the Lord among us or not?'  9am

The crowds that followed Jesus and his ministry through Galilee and finally up to Jerusalem tended to do one of three things: 
•	Some flatly ignored him
•	There were those who loved him, stuck by him, but ran away when things got tough
•	There were those who embraced Jesus, but became easily distracted by other things and melted away
Jesus demands that we make a decision about him. 
Who is Jesus to you?

Tim speaks from Matthew 25: 14-30, the parable about the three servants and the bags of gold.  Life is not supposed to be a competition that you have to win. It is not supposed to be a rat race. Life is a huge privilege and opportunity. God has trusted each one of us with gifts and abilities – and he wants us to use them wisely. @revd.timmcgowan
