How do we hear from God? Chris uses the experience of the two followers on the road to Emmaus to examine the different ways God speaks to us, through revelation, scripture and the audible voice of Jesus. What have we missed because we’ve been distracted by the other noises of our lives?
Susan leads the rest of the service, with prayers for our Mission of the Month, Home Mission, and Mike leads our sung worship.
In his first letter to the Corinthians, Paul paints rather a bleak picture of how our Christian lives would be utterly futile if Jesus stayed dead on Good Friday. For our Easter service this year Chris looks at Paul’s teachings and the irrefutable evidence that Jesus did raise from the dead that first Easter. This was not a trick, this was not something the disciples came up with just to save face. Jesus rose from the dead. He is alive!
Andy leads the rest of the service whilst Lynne, Pete (with a guest appearance from Ricky!) lead our Easter morning sung worship.
An all-age service for Palm Sunday. This year Chris looks at what Jesus was doing immediately before his triumphal entry into Jerusalem and how the raising of Lazarus from the dead put pressure on the Pharisees to take action and directly led to the events of Jesus’ own death and resurrection.
James leads the rest of the service with contributions from Lyn and Esther and sung worship led by Pete and Nick.
Our series on being a fellowship continues with us discovering how to be an evangelistic fellowship. Chris invites Karl Relton from Countess Free Church in Ely to speak on the evangelism initiatives both he has personally pursued and those that they have pursued as a church. He encourages us that it is not our job to convict people, we simply speak the truth. It is the Spirit’s job to inspire our words in other people.
Chris leads us through the rest of the service with a time of open prayer for our mission of the month, Home Mission, and Mike leads our sung worship.
We continue our series on being a fellowship by this week looking at being a learning fellowship. Instead of our normal sermon we broke into three mini study groups to have a discussion with each other around 1 John 3 and what we each take from it. The groups then fed back to the whole congregation. For those watching online, Chris has provided a video for you to follow whilst we were discussing in the building.
Andy leads the rest of the service with prayers for Mother’s Day and Lynne and Mike lead our sung worship.
We continue our new series on Being a Fellowship. This week Chris invites Sally Sagoe, minister at King’s Street Baptist Church in Thetford, to share how they have incorporated being a loving fellowship into their daily lives as a church. Sally speaks about the initiatives they have begun to explore and particularly how they have partnered with the Kintsugi Hope mission.
James leads the rest of the service, with a video from BMS regarding the ongoing humanitarian situation in Ukraine and Pete and Nick lead our sung worship.
This week we begin a new and slightly different series. We’ve learned over the past few weeks about building a loving, worshipping, learning, evangelistic and spirit-filled fellowship but how do we maintain it in the long term? In the first service, Lynne and Chris lead us through how we can be a worshipping fellowship. We learn that being a worshipping fellowship is about bringing our whole being, our whole life and every single one of our emotions and thoughts to God, not just the ones we pick and choose for Him to see.
Lynne also leads our sung worship alongside Mike and Nick.
In the final service on Building a Fellowship Chris looks at how we can build a fellowship that is filled with the Holy Spirit. Paul writes to the Corinthians about spiritual gifts, those abilities that we may have that come directly from the Holy Spirit and reveal unambiguously the presence of the Spirit within us.…
Each year following the church AGM we reserve the next Sunday as our covenant service to allow us to re-commission our leaders and renew our covenant with each other and with God. This year Chris looks at the role of love in our spiritual gifts and encourages us to show our love of God through exercising them to build up the church.
Susan leads the rest of the service as we re-commit ourselves for the coming year. We also have a time of prayer for the ongoing situation in Ukraine and Pete and Nick lead our sung worship.
Our series on building a fellowship continues as Chris this week looks at building an evangelistic fellowship. What does it mean to be an evangelist? What would an evangelistic fellowship look like? We examine how not all evangelists are called to proclaim the gospel from a prominent platform, how we are all evangelists in our own way with the non-Christians that we mix with every day and how we can encourage them in their steps of faith.
Andy leads the rest of the service with music led by Lynne and Mike and communion led by Chris.
