Trinity Chippenham

Psalm 138 is a great Psalm for the end of the year and the start of a new one! It helps us to give thanks to our God.

Christmas is about Jesus. What kind of God does Jesus reveal to us?

Christmas brings people together - but what would it be like to be together with Jesus? What kind of 'Saviour' is he?

A Chippenham man and his experience of the Asian tsunami.  Even more than that, his experience of God's rescue from a life without meaning!

We finish this series with an encouragement to "pray for boldness" because we can be fearful of so many things, yet our God is bigger and better than everything!

Josiah’s reign started when he was young, but God worked profoundly in his life. His heart was tender to God. 2 Chronicles 34-36

Worshipping God is a response, to His goodness. What will that look like for us?

Don’t rely on someone else’s spiritual life in place of your own.

Jehoshophat was a lot like us- making mistakes and needing to learn from them. He also struggled with fear. But he prayed 2 Chronicles 17-20

“Seeking the Lord” is a key piece of the Christian life. But what does it mean? And are we still doing it? 2 Chronicles 14-16

What the world needs most is a church ‘on fire.’ What happens when we mess up big? How should we respond to pride?

God wants to be in the midst of his people, at the heart of the community. And he wants us to be responsive to him. 

There have been moments in time where it seems as if God has made massive impact in society- lives changed. It always starts with God’s generosity. 2 Chronicles 1-6

Right from the start of the Bible story God's plan has been to reach the whole world through his chosen people, and ultimately through his church.

As a church we want to reach ‘beyond’ ourselves. We need to understand our mission, and know why we are doing it. [John 3]

We want to be a church that is safe and welcoming for guests, where all are introduced to Jesus. 1 Corinthians 9:19-23

God cares for the weak and broken. How can we show it to those around us? James 1:26-27

Jesus didn't teach his disciples to pray to God as a boss, nor as a genie, but as Father. What does this mean? It means we should pray shamelessly, and it means that God will give us the very best He has to give!

Our prayers reveal a lot about how we see ourselves ... but what does God think about it?

Jesus wants us to always pray and not to lose heart. How can we keep on praying? What if we have stopped? What will motivate us?

The kingdom of God spreads as the Word penetrates hearts and brings miraculous transformation.

Two builders, two houses, one difference ... the foundation.

As humans living in this fallen world we can live disconnected from God. But we are united to Christ, as a bride to a husband. What that means is incredible!

Paul concludes his thank-you letter with a reminder of the reality and beauty of God’s Kingdom, and the privilege of working side-by-side with other believers. Generosity is a central feature!

The book of Philippians, especially this summary paragraph, should affect and infect us. How will we live differently with Jesus at the centre?
