St Saviour's Church | Sunday Teaching

Over the last few months we have explored what a Deep Well of Devotion to Jesus looks like. This week John launches our new preaching series asking the questions: What are the stones in our wells which stop us and others accessing more of God? And also, how are these stones removed? John begins by sharing the vision for St Saviour’s Church and the opportunity this presents to each one of us to rec...

This week Beth concludes our Water in a Deep Well series by exploring what we can learn from the Reformers radical passion for the Word of God. We discuss the transforming power of feasting on the word through both hearing and reading, and reflect on Jesus's invitation for us to come and feast not on the things of the world, but on what truly satisfies us.

This week Tom walks us through the Spirituality of the Mystics and their emphasis on Union with Christ. We are taken through a three step mystic journey of purgation, illumination and union, and Tom highlights the pivotal role that Jesus plays in making this journey possible.

This week Mark from Trinity Church Nottingham joined us and unpacked the theme of Struggle in Christian spirituality. Journeying through the lives of the Desert Fathers & Mothers, Mark highlights the invitation they give us to use the spiritual disciplines, not as an end in themselves, but as a way to be set on fire with love for Jesus.

This week John explores how the sacraments of Holy Communion and Baptism offer us a widow into the spiritual life.

This Sunday, Becca explored the profound call to "Will you follow me?"—a question Jesus continues to ask us today. We discuss the importance of embracing risk, much like pioneer missionaries who ventured into the unknown to share the Gospel.

In this opening preach, John explores the Belon...

This week Jo & John unpack what a Wholehearted Life in the Kingdom can look like - being ‘all in’ whilst also being fully committed to a journey of healing and wholeness. Jo & John also unpack how wholeheartedness relates to finances and ask us what it would look like for us to give wholeheartedly in this season.

This week John continues our series ‘Deepening the Well’ by exploring our value of LIghtheartedness. John shares with us the invitation to ‘Rejoice in the Lord always’ remembering that Jesus is returning soon, and as such we are called to be a lighthearted people in a heavy world.

This week Jo continues to explore the process of deepening our wells of devotion to Jesus - particularly focusing on the counter-intuitive posture of depending on God. She looks at the challenges we face in choosing this way of life and the profound invitation Jesus offers in Matthew 11:28-30.

This week John launches us into September by sharing what he & Jo feel God is saying to St Saviour’s going into this new academic year - to deepen the well of our devotion to Jesus. 

Rounding off our Summer in the Psalms, Becca walks us through Psalm 139.

This week Sam Watkins-Smith visits us to share on Psalm 1. He leads us through the Psalm and the tale of the 2 trees. The tree that is planted by streams of water , a Good life with God and the other; A tree disconnected from the water of life , A warning against a life without God. Sam leads us into the invitation to further seek and know 'The Good life' as depicted in Revelation 21. He invites u...

This week Jonny and Amy Hughes join us and brought a word of encouragement to us as a Church.
