Jesus People

And so, we come to the end of our time exploring this short excerpt from Paul’s letter to the Christians living in Colossae. Well, I say the end, it’s the end of the sermon series, but I hope that it’s not the end, but a step in the journey of us being a people who […]

Peaceful People

This morning is a Church Family Communion service. When we introduced this way of having communion about five years ago we had quite a few conversations about what was important to include whilst we were all together and at what point the young people would go to their groups. We decided that it was important […]

Abundant Life

I wonder if you’ve ever had the experience of walking into a room when two people are having a conversation and you don’t really understand what they’re talking about. Perhaps you can work it out after listening them for a few minutes, or maybe they fill you in on the background. In this morning’s readings […]

Forgiving People

“Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you” This verse is our focus for this morning as we continue our exploration of this section of Paul’s letter to the Christians living in Colossae. As Nick explained last week, this is […]

Joyful Celebration

Oh Praise Him for He is good. Oh Praise Him for He is good. Since we sang that in the opening song of our service last Sunday morning that phrase has been on repeat in my head. I think probably part earworm and part God inviting me to allow that phrase to soak into my […]

Generous Giving

This morning we are continuing our Lent series exploring different ways in which we can put our Christian faith into practice, in which we can follow Jesus in our day to day lives. This week we are celebrating generous giving, as you might have picked up from our time with the youngsters earlier. In our […]

And another thing…

This evening we are continuing our dive into Paul’s letter to the Christians living in Philippi. Before we get into this evening’s passage though, I want to remind us again of what we read back in Philippians 1:27. “Live in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ” I suggested when I spoke on that […]

Love like this

I wonder if you’re the kind of person who likes word play and puns. Do you groan at them, or delight in them, or a bit of both? Perhaps the gold standard, the prime example of this is the Two Ronnies “Four Candles” sketch. A customer and shopkeeper in a dance of mutual incomprehension that […]

Work it out

This evening we are continuing our dive into Paul’s letter to the Christians living in Philippi. Before we get into this evening’s passage though, I want to remind us of what we read back in Philippians 1:27. “Live in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ” I suggested when I spoke on that passage […]

Thirsty for Righteousness

Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled. This morning we are continuing our exploration of the different places in the Bible that we find the idea of thirst, and what they say to us about our lives now. Since the beginning of the year we’ve thought about the […]
