Chris joined us on March 7th to continue the Jesus Team Talk, and he spoke about the Holy Spirit from John 15 verse 26 onwards. You will need to listen to understand the cryptic title.
Keep listening
On 28th February we continued our discussions from two weeks ago about listening to God, listening to each other, and listening to the community.
Are you listening?
Louise joined us on 14th February to start the conversation about our calling and about listening to God, each other, and the people around us.
Costly discipleship
On 7th February Chris continued the Team Talk, speaking from the second half of John 15 where Jesus encourages his disciples: “Don’t be surprised, don’t be disappointed, don’t give up”. During the talk we watched a recording from Open Doors which can be seen here.
Daily conversation with God
On 24th January we had two separate gatherings looking in more detail at John chapter 15. In this recording Chris speaks about Jesus’ call to “abide in me”.
Straight talking
On Sunday 10th January we returned to Jesus’ “team talk” looking today at John 15, verses 1-17. Chris spoke about how we should seek to be fruitful disciples.
Carols by Candleight
A very different Carols by Candlelight this year. We met over Zoom on the day following the announcement of increased restrictions so it was good to be reminded of the timeless truth about Jesus’ birth through carols, readings and Chris’ talk. The audio recording of the talk is attached. The readings and carols can be watched again:
Made flesh
On the third Sunday in Advent Chris spoke about why Jesus had to come, picking up on the verses from the Jesus team talk in John 14 when Jesus says: “Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father.”
The Way
On the second Sunday in Advent, Chris spoke from Isaiah 40, John 14 and Luke 1 about how Jesus was the promised way through the spiritual wasteland, and through his birth became the fulfilled way to the father.
Perfect love drives out fear
On the first Sunday in Advent, Louise spoke to us about how perfect love drives out fear, picking up on Jesus’ command at the start of his team talk in John 14: “Do not let your hearts be troubled.”
