An all-age service on the subject of forgiveness. Last week we thought about repentance, and a large part of repentance is the forgiveness of others. What does it mean to forgive? And how does Jesus unlock the way to find forgiveness with God and with each other?
Chris and Lynne lead us through the service with readings, a performance from Lynn and Esther and a one of a kind, never to be replicated amateur dramatisation of the parable of the unforgiving servant.
As Christians we are called to repentance. In today’s climate it’s easy to think that this just means confession of what we’ve done wrong, but Chris explains that confession is only one of several steps towards the true repentance that God is looking for. How can we be truly repentant?
Shona leads the rest of the service with sung worship this week led by Mike.
In the final part of our two most recent series, building and being a fellowship, Chris ties together the threads and explores how Jesus will build His church. We look at how the statements are intrinsically linked together – how you cannot be a loving, worshipping, learning, evangelistic or spirit-filled fellowship without Jesus’ guidance and how leaving just one of those out causes the rest to fall. You cannot have one without all the others!
Susan leads the rest of the service with a time for the sharing of testimonies and sung worship led by Pete.
We continue our series on being a spirit filled fellowship with Chris this week asking the question of how we can be filled with the Holy Spirit. Well, there’s a simple answer for that: ask! And keep on asking. But how do we overcome some of the barriers that keep us from asking?
After the message we had a period of time to allow us to ask God for His Holy Spirit to fill us and exercise spiritual gifts. Mike and Lynne lead our sung worship.
In the midst of the Platinum Jubilee weekend we take a short break from our current series and celebrate not only the historic event of Queen Elizabeth II reigning for 70 years but also the even more historic event of Pentecost, the coming of the Holy Spirit, the birthday of the Church. Shona leads us through an all-age service, speaking on where the Holy Spirit is and how we can recognise his work. Chris leads us in our prayers for our nation, prompting us to thank God, say sorry to Him and ask Him for His help in our country and in ourselves.
Pete leads our sung worship this week.
We continue our mini-series on being a spirit filled fellowship with the question this week: what does the Holy Spirit do? Chris examines four aspects of the Holy Spirit, how he is a creating, liberating, transforming and empowering Spirit.
James leads the rest of the service with sung worship led by Mike.
In the lead-up to Pentecost in a couple of weeks, we re-visit our series on Being a Fellowship with the first of four services on Being a Spirit Filled Fellowship. This week, Chris looks at the basics: who is the Holy Spirit and how can he be a mediator between us and God?
Andy leads the rest of the service as welcome Anne into membership, share communion with each other and sing togther with music led by Pete.
This week we joined with our fellow Baptist churches across the UK to watch a live stream of the Baptist Assembly Sunday Service from Bournemouth. In the service Alan Donaldson, General Secretary of the European Baptist Federation speaks on our rapidly changing and shifting world and encourages us to make God our dwelling place though all that is going on and whatever is to come.
God often calls on us to wait before He acts in our lives. As Chris is away this week, Andy asks the question: why? And how can God help us when we’re feeling frustrated with waiting?
Karen leads the rest of the service, whilst Mike leads our sung worship.
Following on from last week’s service where Chris talked on how to hear from God, this week we look at how we can make sure that what we do hear is indeed from God. How can we be sure that what we hear is what God wants us to hear and not something that we’re interpreting in the way that we want to see it?
Ant leads the rest of the service as we get an update from Kath on our Mission of the Month for May, AIM, and Pete and Nick lead our sung worship.
