Great expectations?—Judy Moore (12 April 2026)

About this episode

Judy Moore discusses the unexpected miracles of Jesus and their relevance today.

Judy Moore speaks on John 9:1-11, 35-38, as part of our Strange Things series. “We have seen strange things today.” That’s how people described the works of Jesus - paradoxa : unexpected, unexplainable, beyond what should be. In John 9, we see a miracle that breaks all the rules - no formula, no clear pattern, and a mix of joy and scepticism in response. But here’s the question: what if those ‘strange’ things didn’t stop back then? Are those moments confined to the past…or could they still break into our lives today? At Riverside we are on a journey together to help people get to know Jesus and grow as his followers across Birmingham and beyond. Whoever you are, whatever you believe, you're so welcome in this community. Find out more about Riverside Church & plan your visit: riverside-church.org.uk
