Friends and Family.

6th March 2016 by Revd. Paul Lewis

1 John 3:11-18, Psalm 139. The Bible is full of encouragement, guidance and instruction on how we should treat one another – including friends and family. However, perhaps we don’t always think about how we might discern what God is saying to us and wanting to do in our lives through those we are closest […]

People of God.

28th February 2016 by Revd. Paul Lewis

Audio

Colossians 3:12 to 4:1. Ch. 3 further describes what life as God’s chosen people looks like. These are beautiful verses, painting a picture of love, harmony, peace and thanksgiving as believers live and worship together. Again we see how practical the gospel is, resulting in transformed relationships at church, home, work, wherever. It’s easy to […]

Spot the difference.

21st February 2016 by Revd. Keith Judson

Colossians 3: 1-11 This chapter begins: “Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God.” (NIV) Once again the Apostle sets our sights high – “on things above”. Not that we’re to become ‘so heavenly-minded we’re of no earthly use.’ […]

Live in union with Christ.

14th February 2016 by Jean Spencer

Audio

Colossians 2:6-23. Vs. 6-7 sum up all that’s gone before, so a good place to resume our study of Colossians. St. Paul goes on to explore further the theme of ‘dying with Christ’ in order to live for him. The implications are wide – not just for personal, moral conduct as we might assume but […]

Open to God in LIFE – the small things.

7th February 2016 by Revd. Paul Lewis

Audio

John 6:1-14. It’s important to be open to God in small things – the ordinary/ every day. Jesus feeding 5,000+ is a miracle on a grand scale but made possible by a series of small acts. Andrew introduces the boy to Jesus, who offers his small, simple fare to the Lord. The crowd sit down […]

Christ in you.

31st January 2016 by Peter Billingham

Colossians 1:24 to 2:5. St. Paul continues to explore the mystery of the gospel and the wonder of “Christ in you, the hope of glory.” (1.27) He is eager for believers, young in the faith and vulnerable, to be united in their understanding of Christ. Whilst emphasizing all that Jesus has done, the apostle also […]

Christ above all.

24th January 2016 by Revd. Paul Lewis

Audio

Colossians 1: 15-20. Surely one of the key New Testament passages for understanding who Jesus Christ is and the cosmic scope of his saving work. The image of the invisible God, in whom the fullness of God dwells, it is through Christ that God has established a new creation and is reconciling all things to […]

Wise and grateful; reconciled and faithful.

17th January 2016 by Revd. Keith Judson

Audio

Colossians 1:9-14; 21-23 St. Paul celebrates what Christ has done: delivering us from the power of darkness, reconciling us to God, transferring us into the kingdom of light, bringing us into the presence of God as holy people. It’s wonderful! In the light of all this he earnestly prays that the believers will continue to […]

Open to the Gospel.

10th January 2016 by Revd. Paul Lewis

Audio

Colossians 1: 1-8 The Colossians had not only heard the Good News of Jesus but responded to it wholeheartedly. The faith, hope and love St. Paul highlights in 1 Corinthians 13 are also emphasized here (see vs. 4-5). Once again it is love that is the primary evidence of the Holy Spirit’s work (v. 8). […]

Open to God in LIFE – The Big Picture.

3rd January 2016 by Jean Spencer

Open to God in 2016 Open to God is the overarching theme for 2016, which we’re hoping to explore with an eye on our verse for the year: “My prayer is that light will flood your hearts and that you will understand the hope that was given to you when God chose you.” (Ephesians 1:18a, […]
