Community Church Leeds

You sense the author is running out of time and space. He still has so much to say. His points come at us like a hail of machine-gun fire. Lots of exhortation; some clear ethical instructions; a request for prayer and a beautiful blessing over his readers to end. Passage: Hebrews 13:1-25 Series: Hebrews Speaker: Bekah Atkins

How does God perfect our faith and how do we partner with him in that? It’s all about dropping the stuff that slows us or trips us whilst running, welcoming his loving training methods, listening and responding with holy fear. Passage: Hebrews 12:1-17 Series: Hebrews Speaker: Rick Thomas

We begin with a definition of faith and look at those who demonstrated it, earning ‘a good reputation.’ But God had something better in mind for us. Passage: Hebrews 11:1-40 Series: Hebrews Speaker: Caitlin Chambers

Jesus is the mediator of a new covenant. The old covenant between God and Israel was good, but the new covenant mediated through Jesus is so much better. Through his once-and-for-all sacrifice we can receive total and complete forgiveness. Passage: Hebrews 8:1-10:25 Series: Hebrews Speaker: Mark Poniatowski

How does Jesus perfect the system of Priesthood? How is He the perfect advocate for us and how does this truly require us to put out complete faith in Jesus? Passage: Hebrews 4:14-5:10, 7:1-28 Series: Hebrews Speaker: Bekah Atkins

What is spiritual maturity and how do we pursue it? This challenging text encourages us to move outside our comfort zone rather than stuck with the familiar. Passage: Hebrews 5:11-6:12 Series: Hebrews Speaker: Claire Wong

You thought Moses was a good leader? Jesus isn’t just better, he’s on another scale. Where Jesus leads brings life, for us and for others. Passage: Hebrews 3; Hebrews 4:1-13 Series: Hebrews Speaker: Abby Sheard

The focus, whilst still glorious, shifts from the deity of Christ in chapter 1 to his humanity and his suffering. Jesus has heard our cry for help and come down. We have not 'found religion' but a person! He is our king (who gets involved), our champion (who beats death) and our brother (who is proud of us). Passage: Hebrews 2:5-18 Series: Hebrews Speaker: Rich

Jesus – the exact expression of the character of God. An introduction to the book and it’s overarching theme. Passage: Hebrews 1:2-3 Series: Hebrews Speaker: Bekah

Suzanna explores what Psalm 16 means to her. Passage: Psalm 16 Series: Psalms Speaker: Suzanna

A look into Psalm 139 and how it could portray our life as a journey. Focusing on the challenges encouragements we face along the way. Passage: Psalm 139 Series: Psalms Speaker: Josiah

Kiri explores Psalm 27 and what it means to her. Passage: Psalm 27 Series: Psalms Speaker: Kiri

How god protects us....from evil and shows us he his our rock and saviour against evil.

Psalm 23 The reminder of God’s love, His loving kindness relentless pursues us all the days of our lives. But even more than coming alongside us, our Shepherd steps up for us with the strength of the Almighty Rescuer that He is, able to defeat our most terrifying enemy. Series: Psalms Speaker: Miriam

Exploring Psalm 131 and looking at challenges, comforts and invitations to be humble, have a childlike faith, and to put our hope and contentment in God. Passage: Psalm 131 Series: Psalms Speaker: Charlotte

God calls Abram to leave his home behind and receive the promise of a significant future. Abram is a great example for us in how to handle the ‘in between’ periods when we wait to see God’s promises fulfilled in our lives. Passage: Genesis 11:31-32; 12:1-8 Series: Genesis Speaker: Claire

Noah and his family disembark. God renews his commission to 'multiply and fill the earth.' It's a promising new start but will it last? Passage: Genesis 10:1-11:9 Series: Genesis Speaker: Rick

Evil and sin have grown to epidemic levels, but because of God's great love, he is not content to just sit back and let society self-destruct. We can trust that we have a God who sees the evil around in the world, we know He cares about it and we can be certain He will deal with it. Passage: Genesis 6-7 Series: Genesis Speaker: Sam

In Genesis 4 we are provided with a couple of case studies of humanity's dramatic spiral away from God's blueprint for life in the garden of Eden. Cain's distress at God's apparent disfavour opens a door for the sins of jealousy and resentment, resulting in the murder of his brother Abel. Lamech's covetousness and pride leads to his vengeful boasts. Hope is found in Jesus, descendant of Seth, who...

We take two key themes from Genesis - broken relationships and lack of trust in God - and explore how these play out across the Old Testament, before seeing how Jesus shows us the way to repair the damage of the Fall.  Passage: Genesis, Exodus, Deuteronomy, 1 Samuel, 1 Kings, Matthew Series: Genesis Speaker: Tim & Bekah

The following sermon explores the fall of Adam and Eve, the breaking of perfectly designed relationships, and Jesus Christ's fulfilment of the first messianic prophecy. Within this sermon we also discuss how Jesus' death and resurrection has ultimately redeemed us from the fall. Passage: Genesis 3:1-24 Series: Genesis Speaker: Tim & Sulay

In 8 amazing verses we have God’s blueprint – we are made for relationships. Humanity works best when humanity is working together, serving and building towards God’s good works on the earth. This has its out-workings in marriage and family, of course. But it is also apparent in how we do community together and the church community is to reflect our journeying back to the blueprint. Passage: Genes...

The tree of the knowledge of good and evil in the garden of Eden presents humanity with a choice between trusting God, or choosing to do things their own way. This is a choice that is repeated throughout the Bible, and one that we find ourselves faced with today. Passage: Gen 2:4-17; Matthew 4:1-11; 1 Kings 19:11-13 Series: Genesis Speaker: Jamie

Genesis 1 teaches that all of humanity is made in the image of God, with an overarching task - to reflect and represent his glory in all the earth - and royal duties to deliver within his divine remit. We’re a bit like middle-managers - taking on responsibility within our own area of life under his sponsorship and direction. Passage: Genesis 1: 24-31 Series: Genesis Speaker: Mark

The creation story shows us a God of pattern: creating order out of chaos, light from darkness and paints a picture of how God both formed and filled the earth. What life-giving patterns do you see in your days, weeks and years? Are your days ‘God-breathed’? The Genesis account of creation shows us how to live in a pattern of work and rest - and tells us that this is good. Passage: Genesis 1:1-2:3...
