Sermons by Chris Johnson (Page 15)

What is Church? Body of Christ

Chris continues our new series on “What is Church?” as he looks at Paul’s description in 1 Corinthians of the church being like a body.
Karen leads the rest of the service with contributions from the two Sarahs: Hurley and Golding. Lynne picks this week’s music for us.

Just Do It!

Chris leads us through a final study of the Sermon on the Mount as our series comes to its end, this time looking at Jesus’ warnings about false prophets and the wise and foolish builders.
James leads us through the rest of the service as Sally brings us prayers, Nikki does the reading and Mike chooses the songs to end the service.

The Golden Rule

This service is available in both video and audio format.
Chris leads us through our next study of the Sermon on the Mount, looking at how we are reminded not to judge others and explains a little about asking, seeking and knocking.
Karen leads the rest of the service, with an update from July’s Mission of the Month – Stand By Me – prayers from Greta and music chosen by Mike.

Prescription for Anxiety

This service is available in both video and audio format.
Chris continues our look at the sermon on the mount, this time focussing on Jesus’ teaching about worry and what treasures we store up in Heaven and on earth.
Andy leads the rest of the service with contributions from Pete and Kath Robinson, plus newly recorded worship from Pete, Nick and Susan.

Playing at Religion

This service is available in both video and audio format.
Chris looks at the passages around the Lord’s Prayer and examines Jesus’ teaching on giving, prayer and fasting.
Vanessa leads our prayers this week, Sarah H does the reading and Ant is leading the rest of the service, with reference to a not particularly season-appropriate film… Mike chooses the music for the worship.

Zoom Communion Romans

A recording of a live Zoom communion service. Susan leads the service, and Chris brings a reflection on a passage from Romans. Plus songs chosen by Pete and Susan. Unfortunatlely the video quality is not great, but hopefully you can see past that and still meet with God.

The Extra Mile

This service is available in both video and audio format.
This week Chris looks at the next part of the Sermon on the Mount, examining Jesus’ teaching on love for your enemies. Something which – in light of recent events in the US – looks more relevant now than it did even a week ago.
Elsewhere Lynne leads the rest of the service with contributions from Graham and Sue, Sarah G and Pete providing the music.

Maintaining Integrity

This service is available in both video and audio format.
The Spirit is given. He is given indeed! (don’t worry, that will make sense later).
We find ourselves at another significant time in the church calendar: Pentecost, the giving of the Holy Spirit and the birth of the church. And we are once again celebrating in isolation from each other, separate in body but not in unity or purpose.
Chris leads us through the next section in the Sermon on the Mount, looking at Matthew 5:27-37. Meanwhile, Susan leads the rest of the sevice, Daniel brings us the reading, Andy leads prayers and Mike has chosen the music for us today.

Anger Management

This service is available in both video and audio format.
Chris contines our series on the sermon on the mount, looking at Matthew 5:17-26.
Karen is leading the rest of the service, Graham and Sue provide an update on their situation and Pete, Nick and Susan have recorded some music to help us worship.
