11th December 2016 by Jean Spencer

Audio

John 1:29-34; Matthew 2:1-12; Luke 2:8-40 Poor shepherds left the security of the fields and followed the angels’ advice on where to find Christ the Lord. Old Simeon waited a lifetime, patiently searching through prayer and studying the Scriptures before he held Mary’s baby. Wise men studied the stars and travelled far before finding their […]

Open to God through Advent and Christmas – Preparing.

4th December 2016 by Revd. Keith Judson

John 1:19-28, Matthew 1:18-25; Luke 1:26-38, 46-56. Many people spend a lot time and energy in preparing for Christmas. Mostly this involves food, presents, decorations and cards. For Mary & Joseph preparing for Jesus’ birth was far more costly and complicated! John later urged people to have a change of heart and mend their ways […]

Audio

John 1:1-18; Luke 1:5-25, 57-80. As Advent begins we’ll reflect on the hopes and aspirations of those who were looking for the coming of Messiah. Zechariah couldn’t take in the promise given to him and Elizabeth. Many didn’t recognise John the Baptist as a prophet or indeed the One for whom he prepared the way. […]

Psalm 119:105; Matthew 28:16-20; John 5:39-40; Romans 15:4-6; 2 Timothy 3:14-17. In reality a number of things combine to make our church what it is today and will be in the future.

Open to God through being church – Giving.

6th November 2016 by Revd. Paul Lewis

Psalm 24:1; Matthew 6:24-34; John 3:16; Acts 2:42-47: 2 Corinthians 8:1-15; James 2:14-17 Jesus often reminded His disciples of God’s generous provision – e.g. Mt. 10:8.

30th October 2016 by Jean Spencer

Audio

Psalm 119:9-11; Matthew 7:24-27; Luke 9:23-24; Romans 12:1-21 The goal of the Christian life is to become more like Jesus (see Romans 8:29), in thought, word and deed. So, what does it mean to walk in the way of Christ? What does a ‘Christian lifestyle’ look like? There are bound to be differences (between individuals […]

Psalm 66:16-19; Mark 3:13-19; John 13:1-17; Ephesians 4:11-12; Hebrews 13:17 The New Testament is clear that every disciple is called by God to share in his mission. Likewise, all have gifts and a part to play in the body of Christ (cf. 1 Cor. 12). Our life together should be characterised by loving service, in […]

16th October 2016 by Revd. Paul Lewis

Audio

Psalm 23; Luke 24:28-35; John 6:25-58; 1 Corinthians 11:17-34. This series doesn’t look specifically at worship and prayer. These things (should) run through everything we seek to be and do as a church. However, the Lord’s Supper/ Communion is the central act of worship and we focus on it today as we share bread and […]

Psalm 9:1-2; Matthew 28:16-20; Romans 10:9-17; Colossians 1:15-23.
