David and Abigail

So far in our series exploring David’s relationships we have been focussing on his relationships with men – friends and enemies. For the next three services we are looking at his relationships with three different women, beginning tonight with Abigail. We did jump into the middle of this story, and so we are going to […]

Moses Flees

The Fugitive. The Blues Brothers. Catch me if you can. Thelma and Louise. What do all these films have in common? They are all stories of people on the run, who are fleeing, trying to escape. Some of them are innocent of what they are accused of, but most of them are guilty. Either way, […]

Moses – Baby in a Basket

This morning we are exploring the beginning of the stories of two babies with big futures. They were born centuries apart, but there are so many links between their stories, links that are show us something about God’s consistent love and faithfulness for us. So let’s begin with baby number 1, a little boy. Now, […]

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

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]
