St Matts Weekly Message

Jeff continues our new series on the Holy Spirit looking at the work of the Holy Spirit- what does the Holy Spirit do in us and in the world! Enjoy :)

Sophie kicks of our new series looking at the Holy Spirit. Time to get excited!

Sophie speaks on the story of Zacchaeus at our TryChurch service!

Teressa takes us through the story of the day of Pentecost- time and time again through history something special happens when people are 'together' and have courage to step out into what God has called them to.

Our Associate Vicar Mike looks at 'The Great Comission'- a final encounter of Jesus with his disciples which prepared them to be transformed from a group which had 'gathered' around Jesus to a church 'sent' by him... a people called to go, to make and to have confidence. Mike also shares some of his heart for St Simons church ahead of the Sunday launch service and how this...

Peter probably knew Jesus best of all but even he let Jesus down. Sophie takes us through the beautiful story of Peter's restoration to relationship with Jesus- and how that can be our story too, no matter how far we feel we have failed him- Jesus restores us to fullness in him.

On the road to Emmaus two of Jesus' disciples were leaving the city full of disappointment, low and let down. But in their encounter with Jesus everything is turned around!

Continuing our 'Graves into Gardens' series Sally speaks on the story of Thomas and how his doubt was transformed into faith as he encountered Jesus.

New series time! We'll be heading through some of the post resurrection stories of encounter with Jesus as we look at how he changes people lives and outlooks- Graves into Gardens!

Celebrate the Easter story with us!

Palm Sunday! We're taking a look through the story of Jesus entering Jerusalem - the King... but perhaps a different kind of king.

Sophie takes us through John 13:1-17 where Jesus washes his disciples feet.

Join us for the next in our series as Sally looks at Jesus- the way, the truth and the life.

It's Sophie's (our new Vicar) first week! Have a listen and hear her opening up these wonderful verses from John 15 and encouraging us to stay connected to Jesus!

How does Christian life play out in the tricky dynamics of family life? What does Paul mean when he speaks about the relationships between husbands and wives, children and parents, and even slaves? And how might we take the high call of discipleship on in our own close relationships- as we choose mutual flourishing (everyone getting involved), mutual submission (everyone giving themselves) and mut...

If the image of the invisible God lives in us, if nothing can be added to or taken away away from what Jesus has done for us, if nothing can separate us from the love of God... what's our part in all of this? What does it look like to live out life in the light of those beautiful truths? Have a listen to find out more...

As we continue the series in Colossians Claire helps us to think through how the freedom we have in Christ should lead us to full devotion to him- clinging to Jesus, keeping in the light and staying devoted to him.

Fullness in Jesus is meant to lead to Freedom in him- but that often seems like a long way off! Join Graham as he takes us on a journey towards how we can experience freedom rooted in Christ in our minds and from the enemies schemes.

Join Sally and Adrian as the take us through one of the most beautiful descriptions about Jesus in the New Testament. It really is ALL about Jesus!

Jeff carries on the series in Colossians. The hope of the world is a mystery revealed in Jesus. It comes at a cost - but the cost is SO worth it, it is Christ in you the hope of glory!

We're starting a new series for a new year! Over the next week join St Matts as we journey through the book of Colossians - a letter written to the freshling church at Colossae praising God for the seed of the Gospel that has been growing and bearing fruit and encouraging them to go deeper that as they understand the fullness of God in Jesus they might also be brought to fullness in Jesus. In...

Join Mike to find out how graffiti and cereal might help us to embrace all that God has for us as we head into 2024.

Join Graham as he helps us to understand the meaning of advent — Engaging with the gospel and then learning how to live that out in the same through embracing repentance, eating (belief), expecting (being immersed!), and being empowered (by Holy Spirit). 

How are you sleeping at the moment? How are your peace levels? We speak and sing about peace so much at Christmas and yet it is a notoriously unpeaceful time of year. So what is the Peace that is promised at Christmas when the angels visit some shepherds on a hill and promised "Peace to all on whom his favour rests." Join mike to find out more...

As we round off this "Back to Basics" series we take a slight change of tack as we explore the big topic of climate change. Join Dan who has a background in climate science as he goes through both the serious implications of climate change from a scientific point of view as well as the reason Christians should be leading the way in caring for the world that God has gifted us with.
