I wonder if anyone remembers a TV show called James May’s Toy Stories. In each episode James would aim to make something life size with toys. So there was a life size Spitfire made out of Airfix and a Scalextric track the length of a real race track. We’ve been rewatching them recently- I’m a […]
I wonder how your family deals with difficult conversations. When you know that something needs to be discussed, but nobody really wants to, because you’re afraid that it might be painful or expose disagreements. It’s sometimes said that you shouldn’t talk about politics or religion at a dinner party, as it will just lead to […]
Who knows what is written in the stone above the main door of this building? That’s right, “All the seats in this church are free and unappropriated forever.” When I was at university, the college chapel had something engraved in the stone above the door as well, “A house of prayer for all nations”.

We started off thinking about […]
This morning we are continuing our focus on Jesus, asking ourselves Do You Know Him? Today we are thinking particularly about Jesus as our Provider, and as we do that it will be helpful if you have Bible to hand as we will be hopping around it a bit. Ideally if you’ve got a paper […]
This morning we’re continuing to focus on Jesus, and how we can know him better, by asking the question Do you know him? Over the last couple of weeks we’ve thought about his death and resurrection, and this week we pick up the story with his ascension, his return to heaven, and what it means […]
This week we are continuing in our series looking at the question, “Do You Know Him?” Last week, David was helping us to think about knowing Jesus as the Crucified One, and we follow on from that this week, getting to know Jesus as the one who was raised to life. Why is this so […]
A couple of weeks ago we began asking, “do you know him” meeting Jesus, in the beginning, as the Word who was God and was with God. We saw his divinity as we recognised his creative power and authority at work in the creation of time, the universe, and everything in them. We heard from […]
