Simon rounds off our Relent series in Jonah, focussing on the lesser-explored chapter 4 and the sad and unusual end we find there. Jonah is happy to receive God's mercy for himself, but angry that it would be extended to certain others. Simon challenges us to swim in the ocean of God's mercy, and then invite others to enjoy it for themselves, though none of us deserve a drop of it. We hope this is...

Simon speaks on Jonah's message to Ninevah, and the unexpected repentance it brought about. He puts the same message to us - compassion or calamity - and links this to Jesus, the King who gave up the glory of heaven to come to the dust of earth, that we might leave the dust of earth for the glory of heaven, now and forever. We hope this encourages you — if you'd like to find out more about followi...

Our guest speaker, Gareth Robinson, takes us through Jonah chapter 2, looking at repentance, and challenging us to consider what we cling on to. Gareth shows us how Jonah was restored by God to worship, discipleship, and mission, and reminds us that that's God intention for us now as well. We hope this blesses and encourages you to seek God at this time. Get in touch us to let us know what strikes...

Simon introduces our new series 'Relent', looking at the life of Jonah, the mercy of God, and the lessons we can draw from it through this Lent. We're introduced to Jonah's big themes: God's great mercy, who gets to receive it, and what that tells us about God. We hope this blesses and encourages you to seek God at this time. Get in touch us to let us know what strikes you the most: hello@stpeters...

Simon rounds off our series in Acts 2 by thinking about a church which was growing daily, as God added to their number. He encourages us to be people who can give a reason for the HOPE we have in Jesus, by being Honest, Overflowing, Prayerful, and Expectant. We hope this message and series blesses you, and would love to hear from you if we can help in any way. E: hello@stpeterbury.church

Simon encourages us to be generous with everything we have, for the sake of God's glory and purposes in the world and at St Peter's. The early church modelled this clearly, holding things in common, providing for anyone who had need, and praying that God would miraculously provide when the need outstripped their ability to respond.

Simon, our Minister, speaks about the miraculous signs and wonders which occured amongst the early church and awed the people around them. Drawing from across the New Testament, he shows how these signs and supernatural wonders are expressions of God's power, invitations to connect with God, and ultimately a display of God's love.

Simon casts a vision for St Peter's to be a praying people, responding to the disorder of the world with an uprising of prayer, to use the words of theologian Karl Barth. He teaches us that, in line with our vision, our prayers are in and for Bury, and at the same time from and for heaven. Finally, prayer transforms us into the image of the one we pray to, God himself, and catches us up in the act...

Simon talks about the close-knit fellowship that was brought about by the Holy Spirit in the first church community. They knew each other, spent regular time together, and spurred one another on to live wholeheartedly for Jesus. That's the kind of church community we want to be here too, a family that supports through the ups and downs, encourages us in our walk with Jesus, and has a lot of fun al...

Hannah Khan encourages us to be people of praise and worship, drawing that out of our central passage at the end of Acts 2 and drawing also on Psalm 19. Hannah speaks about worship coming from the overflow of our love for someone or something, and its ability to develop our relationship with Jesus as we remember what he has already done.

Simon our Vicar focusses on the first ingredient of the irresistible early church mentioned in Acts 2 verses 42-47; that they were devoted to the teaching of the apostles. To be devoted is to place Jesus as highest authority, to live it, and to know that it's all for your benefit because Jesus wants to bring you to fullness of life. We hope this encourages and blesses you, and would love to hear t...
