This is the full audio recording of our annual Christmas Carol service with all the Carols, the readings and a short message from Steve Alliston.

Steve Alliston takes us through Mary's song of praise also known as The Magnificat, when Mary finds out she's pregnant with the son of God her soul was ecstatic and overflowed with praise to God. "Let it be as You want Lord" is Mary's attitude. Her love for God flows from the inside out. She was singing praise regardless of the personal reputational risk she faced as having fallen pregnant outside...

This Sunday we were delighted to host New Frontiers founding father Terry Virgo. Terry closes out our series on the Holy Spirit "The Giver and His Gifts".

Ken Davis this week shares both scripture as well as his own personal experience in understanding the Holy Spirit.

This week, we welcomed a guest speaker, Tito, to talk through how the power of the Holy Spirit can change lives irrevocably. He shares a testimony of what God has been doing in Portugal through the members of the church we relate to there. How they are impacting lives of young people with mental health issues for good.

This week Danny talks through 1 Cor 12 God helping each of us with a gift from his Spirit. He challenges us to serve and be a blessing with "who will we bless this week?" Acts 20:24a "life is worth nothing unless I use it for doing the work assigned me by the Lord Jesus".

Ken Davis talks us through Why we need the Holy Spirit - Salvation, Structure and Service in part 3 of our Series the Giver and His Gifts

Danny takes us through Ezekiel and how the Holy Spirit brings life and power to us in part 2 of this series

This week Steve kicks off our new Series on the Holy Spirit called the Giver and His Gifts. This sermon series is from Luke 11 verse 13 "Even though you are evil [that is, sinful by nature], you know how to give good gifts to your children. How much more will your Father who is in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!". We need to have a healthy biblical understanding that we are a spi...

The epic finale - Danny finishes our series on What6Words with the last word "BEYOND" and uses Acts 1:8 as the key text.

This week Danny continues our What6Words series and looks at "COMMUNITY". Crawley is our "Jerusalem". "But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth" Acts 1:8

This week Steve takes us through the 4th word in our church vision "IMPACT" and looks at both Acts 11 and Matthew 11.

This week Danny explains how, as a local church, we take seriously the duty that our people are fed properly from the word and "equipped" rather than entertained. Danny uses Ephesians 4:11 as his base text along with some helpful metaphors.

Steve continues to take us through our vision What6Words - "church"

Steve explains our vision using 6 words. "A diverse church equipped to impact the local community and beyond" This week is part one and Steve covers what it means to be a "Diverse" church. Diverse in Race, Language, Geography, Nationality, Age, Gender, Experience and Socioeconomics. We look at Acts 13 together.

Aref this week continues our series METAMORPHOSIS preaching in Farsi with a translator through Philippians 4:11-14. He explains how Paul talks about how it was a beautiful thing that the Philippian church came alongside him in his troubles and how all our needs can get met. We need to create and actively look for opportunities to help each other out as a local church.

Callum takes us through Philippians 4:9. Paul in this letter challenges the Philippian church to grow up. Why? to serve well. Paul is calling us to be counter cultural. We are living in an age more and more consumed with serving ourselves only.

Dan challenges us this week to think about what we think about because our lives move in the direction of our strongest thoughts. We look at Philippians 4:8 this week and we are encouraged to fill our minds with beauty and truth, whatever is honourable, lovely, right, pure, good, kind, excellent and praiseworthy. We need to embrace biblical wisdom Dan preaches Proverbs 14:12 - there's a way that s...

This week Caz Alliston takes us into Philippians 4:6-7 which deals squarely with worry. She encourages us to move from people who worry to people who pray.

With "How not to be an oaf" Stu Cox preaches with inimitable humour on gentleness following the Philippians 4:5 passage "Let gentleness be seen in every relationship for our Lord is ever near" (Passion Translation). Stu talks about "not punching people with truth", "not speaking with haste" - Proverbs 29:20 being "gentle with our words" Proverbs 15:1 and having a mate you can tell you when you are...

Danny looks at Phil 4:4 as part of our series on METAMORPHOSIS. It is strange and unusual that a man in prison could tell a church to rejoice. God used Paul being in prison to advance the gospel and for good. Danny makes the point that under God's watchful care, "our lives are not a runaway car". God is always working. In all our struggles God can advance His mission and use our lives to be a bles...
