Sunday Sermons at All Nations

In this talk we set our focus on giving thanks to God. We get to see how over the last few months God has enabled us to do some amazing things, and perhaps, more than ever, we need to do this as we walk through this disorientating and in many ways disruptive days. Giving thanks to God is an invitation for us to come back Him and to centre our life once more on His goodness and mercy. It's not just...

The times and seasons are in God’s hands, the skies and waters obey Him; we do not look at the mess that the world is in as those with no hope or those with no faith; our faith is in an all-knowing, all-wise God and we are called to rise up. John Ortberg says ‘ when human beings shrink God they pray without faith, worship without awe, serve without joy, suffer without hope and the result is a very...

This passage we're looking at this week was written by Peter, the same Peter who in His fear denied Jesus 3 times. At that time he had become a broken man, having lost faith in himself and in Jesus and yet when he wrote this he was a man transformed, living on the margins of society, facing the possibility of persecution, and even eventually he would be crucified upside down. So what transformed P...

Prayer should be a massive part of how we react when we are fearful, even Jesus made time alone with His Father in prayer a priority in His life. He knew that when you are completely alone with God you can speak to Him honestly and from the depths of your heart. In these verses of Matthew 14:22-32, it is His closeness to God that allows Him to walk on water and encourage Peter to do the same, but...

People who know their God are a people of love, they resist evil, they stand firm and remain courageously loyal to God. God has made promises over His church, our church family and individuals. We are living in testing times, financial instability, fear of sickness, fear of division and fear of an uncertain and unknown future. Times like this refine us, they help to cleanse those who stand firm an...

Love is an antidote to fear, John tells us that perfect love drives out fear. Fear entered the world when Adam and Eve sinned and then feared God’s condemnation, but this is not how God wants us to live our lives. God is love and when we understand the enormity of His love for us fear cannot dwell. The Jewish people did not speak the name Jehovah as they considered it too sacred and yet we know th...

We know that in this life we will have troubles as Christians we are not immune to the struggles of life, in fact, the bible warns us to expect troubles. We will face sickness, opposition, fear, exhaustion, temptation and much more but the Psalmists teach us that even in the midst of trials we should praise and thank God for His faithfulness, His love, His provision. Even during lockdown we have m...

All around us, there are seemingly good reasons for us to be afraid, not least things like viruses and sickness; worry about work and jobs and therefore money; issues of racism and prejudice that can make us afraid to walk our streets or step out in confidence in education and business. The constant pressure to perform and not fail. We fear not being good enough, not being able to cope with the st...

This is time to focus our faith, God shows up in times of trouble in ways that we may never have seen before, it is times like this that we see not just Christians, but many across the Nation and the Nations move towards Him. In the midst of crisis, we are reminded that He is faithful to the promises that He has made. As Christians, He is the answer to our fears and anxieties. ***PRAYER REQUESTS**...

This Sunday we are finishing our series, the God of Encounter. A true encounter with Jesus always results in us being changed, and sends us as a witness to what He has done. It also places His call upon us to catch people for His glory. As we read Luke 5:1-11, we get to see what an incredible day it must have been for Peter and his companions. They started the day exhausted, discouraged fishermen...

This week we're looking at Saul/Paul. Our final encounter involves the once chief persecutor of Christians, Saul, and his meeting with the risen Lord Jesus on the Damascus Road. Saul, who became the Apostle Paul, is transformed into the Holy Spirit’s mighty agent of reaching the Gentile world for Christ. Not only did he encounter the changing grace of God personally, but through his missions and m...

Our God is the God of encounter, and this week Richard felt encountered by the Holy Spirit to turn again to the life of Elijah. Just a few weeks ago Richard Eaton looked at the early part of Elijah's ministry as a prophet; this week we're looking at when Elijah felt like he had had enough - that he couldn't go on. But, how in that painful and dark place, God met him wand released him once more wit...

This week we're looking at Bartimaeus. The account of Bartimaeus is a healing encounter. When following the life of Jesus in the Gospels, you cannot ignore that healing was a massive part of His ministry. The word for “save” is also the word for “heal” and in the Kingdom both are intimately linked. Healing encounters are part of the ministry we are called to in following Jesus. This account gives...

Following the tragic death of George Floyd there have been many conversations with so many people from different communities that have been filled with anguish, anger, distress, with tears and with great sadness. It has lead to many questions: where do we find answers? How do we deal with injustice? How do we bring change? Where do we get breakthrough and healing. In this talk we're looking at Eph...

This week we're looking at the Samaritan woman. We don’t even know this woman’s name, but in a moment of encounter with Jesus, she is taken from being an outsider in her community, ostracised because of her chequered past, and liberated into the family of God, becoming one of the most powerful evangelists in the Gospels. This passage as well as looking at how Jesus transformed this woman’s status...

Today we celebrate Pentecost Sunday, the birthday of the church. Through Jesus life and death and obedience to the Father, we get the privilege of enjoying and celebrating again the reviving presence of the Holy Spirit in us and upon us. *** PRAYER REQUEST *** If you have a prayer request please fill out this form and we'll do our best to get back to you. Alternatively, email us 3c@allnationsbedfo...

This week we're looking at Mary. Mary’s encounter with the Holy Spirit as a young teenage girl remains one of the most powerful in Scripture. We learn so much about her response and submission to the will of God. She remains one of the most amazing examples of servanthood and worship in the New Testament. Her act of obedience and willingness to put herself into God’s hands gave her the unique priv...

We all need hope. Many are looking right now for something to hope in. What about you? What are you looking forward to? This time has made us appreciate certain things we once took for granted. Biblical hope; Christ-centred hope is steadfast and sure and will never disappoint us or let us down. It is a joyful anticipation that His promises to us will be fulfilled, in His time, in His way, for His...
