Vijay's sermon from 9th Nov 2014

Iain talks on the book of Ezekiel

We don't always know what to pray. Jesus' disciples had the same problem so He taught them what is traditionally known as the Lord's Prayer. In the first of a two-part series, Florence unpacks the first half of this prayer with its focus on God's name, kingdom and will. Why not allow this model prayer to shape your own prayers?

David talks about Jesus's call to receive the kingdom of God like a little child and what that might mean for us today.

It’s not possible to be neutral about Jesus Christ. When we are confronted with him we are forced to make a decision either for or against him. In chapter 3 of Mark’s Gospel Jesus is very clearly declared and revealed to be the Son of God. How did the people respond? Well, amazingly, three groups rejected him in different ways and only one group became his disciples. Join James this week as he loo...

Of the many insights learned from the life of Joseph, one that stands out is that in all circumstances, God works for the good of those who love him (Romans 8.28). Events from Joseph's life teach us that God takes our unremarkable moments, our victories and our tragedies and brings about good for those who trust him.

In this last of a 3-part series that traces the storyline of the Bible, we see how the Old Testament concludes by anticipating a figure who will do what Israel could not do, mediate blessing to the whole earth. This person, the New Testament tells us is the person of Jesus Christ, who through his suffering and death becomes the agent of God's blessing throughout the earth. His followers are then c...

Vijay continues his Bible survey tracing the grand theme of blessing throughout the Bible. When God created humans, he created them to be fruitful and to multiply, that they be blessed and be a blessing. But, the earliest accounts in the Bible show that humans are 'fruitful', that they do 'multiply', but in evil not in righteousness. In today's sermon, Vijay traces the story starting from Abraham...

Susan's challenging message from the evening service.

What did Jesus accomplish on the cross? Taking the letters of the word C-R-O-S-S, Florence identifies five things that help answer this question. Tune in to find out what these are...

Vijay starts a short series that traces the storyline of the Bible as God's commitment to bless creation. In this first sermon he looks at the story beginning from creation to the account at Babel. When God creates humans, he blesses them with the capacity to flourish, enjoy God's creation and enjoy healthy relationship with others. This capacity for blessedness is ultimately rooted in a right rel...

A welcome visit from John Merson.

A welcome return to the preaching team by Iain

In the final message in the series on Noah, James reminds us of God’s faithfulness, looks into the future to see what lies ahead for planet earth and highlights what we can learn from the life of Noah.

Noah, his family and all the animals were delivered from the flood inside the ark. One year and ten days later God delivered them from the confinement of the ark and into a whole new world. Noah’s first response? Worship, the priority of the life of faith. Join James for this, the third in the series on Noah, to find out more.

God gave Noah the incredible task of building an ark. 120 years later, the ark was finished. God told Noah to enter, because in seven days the flood would come. Seven days – one last chance for the people of Noah’s time to be saved. Would they take it? Tune in to this, the second message in James’s series on Noah, to find out.

In this, the first in a four-part series on Noah, follow James into Noah’s world, a world which was in some ways different to ours, but in other ways very similar. Society was in chaos and God was about to step in and do something about it. What God did and how he did it show clearly why the cross was necessary.

Patience and prayer. We need both. But what does patience look like? What is prayer that works? Florence addresses these important questions as she concludes her series from the New Testament book of James.

Florence looks at James 4 and, in the first half of this chapter, highlights eight answers to pride. But pride has a friend - presumption. How do we make plans for the future without falling into the presumption trap?

Do you ever have a problem with words? Can you tell the difference between earthly wisdom and heavenly wisdom? In this message from James chapter 3, Florence offers some practical pointers that you might find useful in controlling what you say and then goes on to explain what heavenly wisdom looks like.

In the second part of her series from the New Testament book of James, Florence focuses on chapter 2 and considers the importance of loving our neighbour (2:1-13) and living our faith(2:14-26).

In the first of a five-part series on the New Testament book of James, Florence considers how we can respond rightly to difficulties in our lives and stresses the importance of listening to the word, looking into the word, and living out the word of God.
