By the waters of Babylon.

13th August 2017 by Rev Jeff Porter

Audio

2 Chronicles 36:15-21; Psalm 137; Matthew 5:1-12; 1 Peter 5:1-14. Land devastated, temple destroyed, hopes dashed! What future was there after the Babylonian conquest and exile in a foreign land? Yet God promises to restore His people and works through this key period to refine them. Much of the Old Testament as we know it […]

A heart after God.

6th August 2017 by Revd. Keith Judson

Audio

1 Samuel 16:1 – 1 Kings 2:11; Psalm 23; Mt. 22:41-46; Acts 13:16-39; . David is Israel’s most famous and celebrated king, who gives his name to the promised Messiah (Son of David). However, the Bible doesn’t try to make out that he was perfect and his many failings are set out alongside his famous […]

The servant of the Lord.

23rd July 2017 by Revd. Paul Lewis

Audio

1 Samuel 16-17; Psalm 23; Luke 1:26-33; Romans 1:1-6. In 1 Kings 11:4 & Acts 13:22, David is described as being a man with a ‘heart after God’. It’s a beautiful expression and reminds us of the love Israel’s most famous king had for the Lord. Not that David was perfect – far from it! […]

A Promised Land.

16th July 2017 by Revd. Keith Judson

Audio

Joshua 1; Psalm 114; Luke 20:9-19; Romans 4. Exciting tales of battle etc. may thrill some but raise questions for others! However we feel about the conquest of Canaan, these accounts help us understand the Bible and also the troubled Middle East today. God’s purpose for His people is that they live in a way […]

Manna in the desert.

9th July 2017 by Revd. Paul Lewis

Audio

Exodus 1-2; 15-16; Psalm 78:12-29; John 6; Hebrews 11:23-29. The dramatic story of the Exodus is the single most important event in the Old Testament and a powerful image of salvation through Jesus Christ in the New. God rescues the Israelites from Egypt, guides them to the Promised Land and provides for all their needs. […]

Please forgive me.

2nd July 2017 by Revd. Paul Lewis

Genesis 33:1-11; Psalm 51; Luke 15:11-32; Colossians 3:12-17. The power of forgiveness is amazing! We know it for ourselves if we have experienced the love and grace of God in our lives. There are many stories outside the Bible (e.g. ‘The Railway Man’) which demonstrate the transforming effect for good of forgiveness when it is […]

The Burning Bush

25th June 2017 by Revd. Paul Lewis

Exodus 1-4; Psalm 90; John 8:29-58; Acts 9:1-19. The story of Moses continues next week but here we learn about his narrow escape from infanticide, developing sense of ethnic identity and miraculous call to deliver God’s people from bondage. At the burning bush, Moses finds himself on holy ground – as did those who met […]

A waking man’s dream.

18th June 2017 by Revd. Keith Judson

Audio

Genesis 37:1-50:26; Psalm 25; John 13:1-15; Romans 5:1-8 Surely one of the most popular and best-known stories in the Bible – and not just because of that musical! From the naivety and impudence of youth, Joseph becomes a man of wisdom, faith and hope. Yet the work God does in his life is through painful […]

The God wrestler.

11th June 2017 by Revd. Paul Lewis

Audio

Gen. 25:21-34; 27:1 – 35:29; Psalm 46; Matt. 4:1-11; Eph. 3:10-21. Jacob is given a new name – Israel (‘he struggles with God’, NIV). The mysterious encounter at Peniel with ‘a man’ is as much about Jacob wrestling with his identity and vocation as it is with God. Our hope is found in knowing where we […]

The earth is the Lord’s

4th June 2017 by Revd. Paul Lewis

Audio

Psalm 24:1-2, 104:24-35; Joel 2:28-29; John 14:16-18; Acts 1: 8; Acts 2:1-8. In Genesis, God’s Spirit is active in creation. His work continues in giving life to all things and bringing about the new creation through Christ. We’re called to work with Him in caring for God’s good earth, as well as nurturing the gifts and […]
