Ghana
On 27th January we celebrated our links with the Holistic Gospel Church in northern Ghana which was formed as a result of the faithful work by Rosemary and Geoffrey Hunt amongst the Hanga people in the 1970’s and 1980’s. Andrew gave a summary of a recent visit to Ghana, and then Geoffrey, Tim and Marion and Chris Justice gave their reflections.
Be available
On Sunday 13th January we were delighted to welcome back a long term friend of the Church, Dave McGuire. Dave spoke about how we must be available to do Jesus’ working, speaking from the Great Commission as expressed at the end of the Gospel of Mark. At the start of the recording Denise shares a special verse from the Bible; David speaks about his recent trip to…
Stepping into the unknown
At the start of the New Year the service was led by the Stable Lane housegroup. Sean reminded us that personally and as a church we are stepping into the unknown but with the sure and certain hope of Gods Grace.
Contemplating Christmas
After the busy-ness of Christmas week it is important to remind ourselves again of the true meaning. Chris Justice led us through a quiet contemplative service, reminding us of the miracle at Nazareth: impossible creation; amazing favour; and incredible attitude.
For God so loved the world…
On Christmas Day Andrew spoke about the “earth-rise” which the crew of Apollo 8 had seen, 50 years ago this Christmas. He went onto talk about how God loved this world so much that he had sent his only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but shall have eternal life. Happy Christmas!
He humbled himself….
In this penultimate study of the letter to the Philippians, on the third Sunday in Advent, Andrew spoke about Jesus’ humility.
Jesus emptied himself
On the second Sunday in Advent we had a technical glitch with the recording. So here, by special request, are the sermon notes that Andrew preached from. Philippians 2.1-11 There are two big themes in this passage. First of all, Paul presents the magnificence of Jesus – the sheer wonder and magnitude of who he is and what he has done. And secondly, but just as…
Who, being in very nature God
On Advent Sunday, 2nd December, we started to look at the famous passage in Philippians Chapter 2 concerning Jesus. We shall be looking at this over the next four weeks as we look forward to celebrating the coming of Jesus.
Resolve conflicts
On 25th November, Chris Justice spoke to us from Philippians 3:13 to 4:9. We saw how the well-known verse in Philippians 4: “And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus” can be applied to resolving the conflict which had arisen between two members of the church, Euodia and Syntyche.
Think differently
On 18th November, Andrew and a group of people started by sharing feedback from the Open Doors conference they had attended the previous day. Andrew said that one thing had struck him most about the suffering people who had spoken; and that was they thought differently to many of us. They always seemed to focus on what God wanted in their situation, however bad it was.…
