Holy Saviour Bitterne

Kim Baillie helps us unpack our passage this week as we continue our Cutting through the noise series exploring 1 Corinthians.

We take a break from our 1 Corinthians series to celebrate Harvest. To consider God's incredible great goodness to us and to reflect on a well known passage - John 6: 1-15, the feeding of the 5000!

Ani helps us to unpack 1 Corinthians 7: 1-16 and what Paul is seeking to teach us about the importance of singleness and celibacy.

James Baillie unpacks God's sexual ethic and why sex matters.

We continue our series exploring 1 Corinthians as we look at 1 Corinthians 2: 6-16.

We begin a new series exploring 1 Corinthians. We begin by exploring 1 Corinthians 1: 10-25 - all about divisions and factions in the church and how to maintain unity.

We conclude our Practicing the Way series by exploring the truth that ultimately our apprenticeship journey is one that is life long and is all about, as Eugene Peterson calls it, "A long obedience in the same direction".

Kim continues our series on Practicing the Way as we explore the third goal of apprenticeship - doing what Jesus does.

As we continue our Practicing the Way series, we explore together how God longs to heal our past pain, hurts and sin so that we might fully become who He intended us to be. Our readings this week are 2 Corinthians 10: 3-5 & Matthew 26: 36-39

Sadoc Chongo continues our series exploring how we can be intentional about building our lives and ordering our lives in such a way that we find ourselves becoming more and more like Jesus.

James Baillie unpacks how we are shaped and formed in our apprenticeship journey with Jesus by things in the world, which we may not even recognise play their part in moulding and shaping who we are. If you are not part of a life group/ community group... now is your chance, simply get in touch vicar@holysaviour.church

Becky Baillie continues our Practicing the Way series exploring the apprenticeship goal of BEING with Jesus.

We begin a new series exploring Practicing the Way - how we live lives of discipleship to Jesus. We begin by considering the question - who are you following?

Join with us as we consider what Pentecost and the gift of the Holy Spirit means for us today.

Tony concludes our vision series by exploring how we might respond to God's generosity in our lives & how we might be able to play our part as a member of Holy Saviour: Attending Belonging - in a team & community group Committing - in prayer & financial giving

Central in all we do, is the way in which we gather together in small groups, home groups, life groups, community groups - whatever you may want to call them. We hear from three members of our congregation who are part of home groups and discover the impact that these have made upon their lives.

We hear from Brian & Sandra about the impact of our Omega Cafe and outreach with the older members of our community.

We continue our vision series by exploring all that is going on with children & young people. Sadoc Chongo shares in this interview with Ruth & Tony Palmer all about his heart for Youth & Children and how we as a church can get on board!

Tony unpacks what our vision is as a church by looking back with gratitude, looking forward in faith and encouraging us to act now with generosity. As ever if you have any questions or queries - simply contact vicar@holysaviour.church

We were so thankful to be joined by Rowena from Embrace Middle East as she helpfully encouraged us about how we might be able to engage with all that is happening in Gaza. The reading was Luke 10:25-37 and you can find out more about Embrace here - https://embraceme.org/

We continue our series exploring the battles that we face. This week Tony unpacks the idea that there is a battle going on for the renewal of our whole selves. Don't forget to join us on Sunday 24th March at Holy Saviour for the re-opening and service of rededication. Drink and cake from 10:15 and then a service with Bishop Geoff the Acting Bishop of Southampton at 11am.

Roger unpacks how there is a battle taking place for our mind. The talk is based around today's reading - Romans 12: 1-2

We continue our lent series exploring the battle we face of dealing with our shame. How often do we allow our shame to prevent us from living in the freedom that Jesus has won for us? Our teaching text is Luke 7: 36-50.

We begin a journey this lent wrestling with the various battles we face in our lives and apprenticeship to Jesus. The BATTLE for our DESIRES, SHAME, MIND, RENEWAL, FOCUS & WHOLE LIVES.

We finish off our TOP 5 series, exploring the desire we have as a church to see new generations coming to know Jesus for themselves in a life transforming way. Tony speaks on Mark 10: 13-16.
