When  you have a two year old boy you spend much of your time reading or  watching Thomas the Tank Engine. The interesting thing  about a steam engine is really in the name – that it runs on steam. I  find it incredible that you can power such a huge metallic vehicle,  pulling carriages, people and cargo, on the stuff that comes out of your  kettle when it’s...

This Sunday we return to our Ephesians series and pick up where we left off before Easter. In this passage, Paul turns from describing the Christian calling to applying it: he has spent half the letter teaching about what it is to be a Christian, but now he  turns to how we should live in the light of this. ‘Unity’ and ‘diversity’ are words that are difficult to use without connoting the flav...

Daniel and Zachary are dedicated!

Tim Murray explores death and the great hope Christians are called to in Jesus

Self-esteem’ is one of those concepts that has made in into the category of ‘unquestioned wisdom’ in  our culture. We talk about it all the time as if we all know and agree  what it means and why it matters. But just as an experiment, ask yourself, what does  self-esteem actually mean? If you find this tricky, don’t worry, the  experts can’t agree either. But whatever it is, we...

A continuation of our  Easter series - 'The cross has the final word'  Hear Tim tackle the subject of failure in our lives.

This Sunday we welcome Matt & Sarah Home and Greg Plunkett to share about their experience of living a missional life. Greg  works  as a missionary in Kenya, whilst Matt & Sarah oversee Willowdene  Farm, a rehabilitation and training centre in Shropshire.   Seeking to live a missional life is part of what it means to follow  Jesus. Paul writes to the Christians at...

This week Adrian Lowe expounds on the power of the Cross over shame

Secrets can be tricky things; knowing when to keep one and when to tell someone else about it isn’t always clear. But if you’ve ever wondered how many secrets you can keep, science allegedly has an answer: According to a recent study published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology  most people keep around 13, five of which they’ve never told another soul. The study also revealed...

Let justice roll on like a river... “So come move, let justice roll on like a river, Let worship turn into revival, Lord, lead us back to you.” These are words found in a new song we have recently begun to sing at ACC. The words are taken from Amos 5:24, which says, “But let justice roll on like a river, righteousness like a never failing stream!” The New Living Translation puts it this way, “I wa...

Join us as we baptize one of our members and talk about what it means to be baptized.

 The challenge early christians faced was one built on thousands of years  of cultural and racial devision between Jews and Gentiles. So extreme a  devision, arguably we still see it today in anti-semitism the world  over. At the time of Christ jews had built themselves a wall around the  Temple and God, inscribed with death threats to all Gentiles who would  dare to...

The book of Ephesians is a go to when we need encouragement in our  spiritual lives. Paul seems to effortlessly pop us into time, past,  present and future and all the time God is at work in Christ in us and in the church. Even the heavens and the earth are full  of his glory!

How does God speak to us? Listen to a panel from Amblecote discuss and field questions about this pertinent issue.

How  do we hear the voice of God? What do we do when we struggle to hear  Him? How do we grow in knowing and discerning God’s voice?  This  Sunday we continue our mini-series ‘Hearing God Speak’. We will be  interviewing four members of our church family on their experience of  hearing God speak in their everyday lives. They certainly do not claim  to be experts!...
