Christ's Blessed City
By Aymee Isac
“To follow Jesus Christ and make Him known."
This is the mission we live by here at Colchester Baptist Church, located in the heart of the oldest city in Britain.
We know life is busy so we hope you'll tune in whenever you can to be encouraged as we deep dive into God's Word and discuss a series of themes, from singleness in the church, reading the Word together to life drills inspired by serving in the military.
We pray this podcast will make a difference in your daily life, whether you are in your car, on the way to work, on a run or doing your housework!

S2 Episode 3 - Battle drills for life: Ration Pack
This is the last episode of our second season and you don’t want to miss this one! Pastor Lee McDade talks to us about the importance of finding our energy in the Word of God as Christian soldiers.
S2. Episode 2 - A Christmas Story
We've all got our own stories that we could tell around this time of year, probably laden with many traditions and family recipes transmitted from generation to generation, but what happens after you've exchanged gifts, the decorations come off and are put in storage for next year?
What is the real meaning of Christmas?
Journey with us, from Genesis to Luke's gospel as we read and reflect on the Biblical perspective of Christmas represented both by God's promise of salvation to the entire world in His perfect timing.

S2. Episode 1 - The Jesus way to self-care
What is your favourite way to rest and unwind?
Is the Bible teaching us how to practice self-care?
In this fast-paced world, finding rest and having boundaries seems almost unattainable, however as Christians we know that true rest can be experienced on a day-to-day basis, in the midst of work and other responsibilities by prioritising our relationship with God.
Although the word 'self-care' per se does not come up in the Bible, it's enough to look at the example set by Jesus to seek God's presence, in solitude and silence, with prayer and even fasting.
Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.
(Matthew 11:28-30)

Shalom - the peace of God
What is stealing your peace?
Learn how the Bible encourages us to lean on God more and more every day of our lives, as our relationships and even the world around us seem to have forgotten what God's perfect peace, or Shalom, truly is.
As Christians, we have a responsibility not just to pursue peace but to work on maintaining it - tall order, we know!
We hope and pray that today's episode brings you some peace in what can be a noisy, tumultuous world.

Episode 4: Psalm 23
Hi friends!
We all know how important it is to spend time in God's Word, so every season, we will take one or two episodes to read some of our favourite Psalms together. Hilary and I will be reading from a couple of different translations, share our thoughts and reflections with you.
What will the the first psalm be? You've guessed it, it's Psalm 23!
We pray you'll be encouraged today, so go grab your Bible and maybe some highlighters or your journal, block out the noise and let's allow the Word of God to read us.
