Fields Church Podcast

Happy New Year everyone! As we begin 2026, what's the one thing that God asks of us this year? Simply put: God wants us to love Him. Listen as John explains how we can best do this; for ourselves and for others. Matthew 22:37-40; 2 Corinthians 3:18; 1 John 2:15-17

Can we see beyond ourselves to be true servants of God? This is the vital question of Beth's message, as she continues us along out Jesus Meets series. Listen and discover how Mary's story is a turning point, where God is beginning to move into his ultimate plan of salvation, and where no small detail is left to chance. Let's look at this true story with fresh eyes, where there are no...

Did you know that God comes to bring you into who you were supposed to be? God is powerful, but so are you. We are children of God. Religion deals in facts - the word of God deals in hope, and hope sets you free. These are just some of the powerful truths that George speaks about in today's message; so that we might become fired up in our faith, believe in the power of God that's inside us...

As Josh continues us on this journey of Practising the Way - a discipleship course on being with, becoming like, and doing as Jesus did - he flips the coin of spiritual engagement from solitude, to what it *truly* means to be in community. How can we get away from the no-mans-land of "polite proximity", and instead, engage in "regular, intentional time with a small group of people&q...

Continuing in our series of Jesus Meets, today we are looking at the woman with the issue of blood who encounters Jesus while he is on the way to perform another miracle - healing Jairus' daughter. Whatever God has promised, has to happen, in his timing, because he is faithful. Mark 5 v27-36 Hebrews 11 v1 and 6 James 1 v2-4 Faith comes by hearing. But it matters more what we choose to believe...

When God grants us peace, it is unlike anything that the world knows as peace. In Romans 5, Paul communicates this work of Jesus wherever he goes. It's good news and he wants to spread it! If God gives you something, will you hold onto it or will you share it? As the world becomes increasingly nonsensical, Adrian helps us to understand why we cannot (and must not) simply keep this peace for ou...

Romans 3 v19-25 Romans 4 v 1-5 Exodus 25 v17-22 Nathan tells us that salvation is God's way of restoring the right relationship we had with him when humankind was created. Adam and Eve had no knowledge, no concept of good and evil, they simply followed God wherever he led them. Then they doubted God's absolute goodness and wanting what was best for them and they believed the lie. This is w...

Otherwise known as "The Unravelling Invitation", Hannah continues our Jesus Meets... series by examining the meeting between Himself - a Jewish man - and a Samaritan woman, in the first half of John chapter 4. Discover how, by coming face-to-face with Jesus, He begins to unravel the different layers and identities that we forge for ourselves; as a means of avoiding those deep-seated issu...

It's the church word that no one likes to bring up, yet (if we're being completely honest) we all do it. Join John, as he talks - both frankly and honestly - about what Romans has to say on the subject of sin, and it's effect on our relationship with the Heavenly Father. Learn how God speaks through conscience & creation, to bring us into right relationship with Him. Romans 1:18-20...

The first part in our new series on Paul's letter to the Romans. We are following the structure of the course provided by the Bible Society. Part 1 is a general introduction to the letter and a look at the importance of the gospel to Paul's message.

Jesus doesn't always wait to be asked to help. Sometimes He does, sometimes He doesn't. But Jesus notices you. When compassion overwhelms Jesus, there is nothing He won't do for us. Beth unpacks this, as she looks at the story of when Jesus met the widow of Nain. Luke 7:11-17; Psalms 145:8; Lamentations 3:32; 1 John 2:6; 1 Kings 17; Luke 4:43; 2 Corinthians 3:18

We return to our Practicing the Way teaching series and this week we are covering the practice of Solitude. God often chooses to meet his people in the wilderness. Genesis 3; Genesis 28, 1 Kings 19 and Matthew 4 Mark 6 v30-32 Jesus modelled the example to us of living on the extremes of solitude on the one hand and community on the other. However, we tend to live our lives in between the two in a...

Did you know that God blesses you in order that you might bless others? Do the choices we make determine how God will bless us? As this series draws to a close, Andrew brings us a message that seeks to examine the character of those to whom God passes the baton; looking primarily at Paul & Timothy and Joshua & Caleb. During his talk, Andrew also quotes from "Prayer, Praise & Promi...

As a church family, are we aligned with God's direction? "A shepherd boy come good" is one of the ways Adrian describes God's anointing of David - from shepherd to king. God saw things in David that no one else saw. So what is it that God see's in you and me, that He's calling each of us to walk in and be at divine peace with? Adrian is also joined by his grandson Simeon,...

If God has something for you, are you going to step forward or stay exactly where you are? How will you use the gifts that God has given you? Mark attempts to answer these questions through the lives of Elijah and Elisha, as found at the end of 1 Kings, and the beginning of 2 Kings, in the Old Testament. John 15:4; Matthew 6:33; Ephesians 2:10; 1 Peter 4:10; Galatians 6:9; Hebrews 12:1; John 14:12

Mark steps in at the eleventh hour, as Adrian was unwell having lost his voice (get well soon, Adrian!). What are we to do with the foundation of Fields Church that Richard and Esther have left us? Where do we go from here? How do we stop ourselves from falling away during this transition period for the church? Mark attempts to answer these questions and more, by using Zerubbabel (Zechariah 4:10)...

On Richard and Esther's last official Sunday as Fields Church pastors for the past 28 years, Andrew preaches a sermon about Eve being born to serve and he applies this to the sacrificial lives of Richard and Esther turning their hands to whatever God asked them to do. Genesis 1 v27-28 Genesis 2 v20,22 Psalm 121 v1-2 John 13 v3-5

Today's sermon from Josh talks about how God often meets us in the middle. In this time of transition for Fields Church as we say goodbye to Richard and Esther next Sunday and look back on how God has moved among us. Just as last week we looked at what the future might look like as the baton was passed on to the future leadership, today is the in between, the middle Sunday, which is often wher...

This is an emotional day for Fields Church as Esther first then Richard share for the last time as senior pastors what God has put on their hearts concerning finishing their race well and all of us running our races well. Hebrews 12 v1 1 Corinthians 3 v11 1 Corinthians 9 v24-26 Acts 20 v24 2 Timothy 4 v7

Andrew teaches on the intriguing title of Jesus meets Eve. When did Jesus meet Eve you may ask? Was it Jesus that walked in the Garden of Eden with her? What would they have talked about? Why was the earth or Eve even created? He answers these and many other questions. Genesis 1 v26-27 Colossians 1 v15-16 Genesis 18 v1 Deuteronomy 33 v26-29 Psalm 121 v1-2 John 13 v1-15

Pastor Richard reminds us about what it means to have spiritual gifts (gifts of grace - charis) and what we are supposed to do with them. Romans 12 v6. John 4 v34 Proverbs 22 v29 Hebrews 6 v14 2 Corinthians 9 v10 Acts 12 v24

In our Summer Series, Steve Marriott, one of Fields' leaders, shows us what it is like to be a family and to welcome new people into our homes, lives and our Church. Matthew 10 v42 Jesus came eating and drinking. It is a great way to meet new people. Steve encourages us to spontaneously welcome new people one cup of tea or coffee at a time or maybe over a meal. Over the summer, why not give th...

Matan is back from Lancaster Uni and he shares his testimony with us of how he came to faith and how God has used him at uni. At the end Adrian wraps up our service by bringing together all the day's themes and inviting us to press the re-set button of our lives to make sure we are really trusting in God.

We are God's masterpieces created for a purpose. Ephesians 2 v1-10 God created you (Genesis 1 v31) Jesus died for you (Romans 5 v8) Holy Spirit lives in you (1 Corinthians 12) They have a unique plan for you
