Today we arrive at one of the great truths that the Bible book of "Hebrews" tells us about - that because of what Jesus Christ has done we can confidently go to the infinitely holy God of the whole Universe, even though each of us is, relatively speaking, is like a dirty speck on a grain of dust in his Universe. Amazing! - Thank you so much for spending time with us on the Stapleford Bap...

Here's the next in our series of studies in the Bible book called "Hebrews".  This week we're looking at Chapter 4 which describes God resting after his hard work in making this world and his call to us to enter the same state of rest.  The rest that God offers is still available .... 'today' as the writer puts it. Don't miss out. - Thank you so much for spending time with us on the Stap...

After last week's short break, here is the next in our series of studies in the Bible book called "Hebrews". We're looking at Jesus Christ who, according to the author of the book of Hebrews is better than Moses.  The author takes us through some of the events in history when Moses was leading the Israelites ... a group of people who often rebelled against God or moaned at him.  So we're...

Taking a one-Sunday break from our series of studies in the Bible book called "Hebrews", today we're looking at this Psalm in which we're reminded (several times) that God never slacks in keeping his followers safe from evil.  He personally guarantees our arrival in Heaven where we'll be with him for ever. - Thank you so much for spending time with us on the Stapleford Baptist Church Podcast....

Today, in our series of studies in the Bible book called "Hebrews" we're looking at Jesus Christ who, when he died, was as low as it's possible to get but who now rules the world ... even though it usually doesn't seem like that.  And we discover that every true Christian is in the same family as Christ - given equal standing with him - and that Christ is excited to have us as brothers and si...

We're continuing our study of the Bible book called "Hebrews".  And today we have a warning ... "Pay Attention, because there's a danger of drifting away from Christ". Almost 2000 years ago, the writer showed his readers the seriousness of drifting away from Christ and urged them to keep on holding on to Christ ... and that's the same message that we need to take notice of today. - Thank you...

Today we dig into the first chapter of the Bible book called "Hebrews".  To help the first century Christians who were beginning to lose their trust in Jesus Christ - and to help us, too - the author of this book points them to Jesus Christ, the Son of God, showing us that he's greater than the any angelic being. In fact, Jesus is God in every way. He lists Jesus' credentials as creator and s...

Today we begin a series on the Bible book called "Hebrews".  To help us, this episode gives us an overview of the book - especially of the first of its 2 major parts. We discover that the first century Christians were beginning to doubt; their trust in Jesus Christ was waning as they faced many pressures from society around them.  So the author of this book writes to these dithering and...

Today we take a look at one of the shortest books in the Bible: the second letter written by the Apostle John to Christians in the 1st century. John is keen to tell his readers of the importance of love, rooted in the truth of Christ. And it's a message we need to learn as well. - Thank you so much for spending time with us on the Stapleford Baptist Church Podcast. We hope you have found what you...

Today we take a look at the Lord Jesus Christ - not the baby in a manger but the risen and resplendent Lord of all, as the Apostle John glimpsed him, as recorded in the first chapter of the Bible's book of named 'Revelation'. - Thank you so much for spending time with us on the Stapleford Baptist Church Podcast.

Each year, we give the Church family a verse for the year. For 2023 we chose Proverbs 3 verses 5- 6. You can get a copy as a bookmark from the Church office if you want.

December 25th - Saviour Here's a 'special' podcast.

Given the uncertain and unsettling situation that faces us - rising cost-of-living, employment disputes, war in Europe, immigration, as well as the specific issues...
