As Chris and Lynne are away Peter Wells brings us the message this morning, speaking on Hope. What does the Bible say about our present hope and how can we have hope in the things yet to come? Andy leads the rest of the service whilst Nick and Pete lead our sung worship.
We conclude our Advent series for this year with Chris tackling the quesion of what happens if we die before Jesus returns? We explore the four reassurances that Paul gives the Thessalonians. To paraphrase: “we don’t know much, but what we do know is good!”
Karen leads the rest of the service whilst Lynne and Mike lead our sung worship.
Continuing our Advent series, this week Chris looks at 1 Thessalonians chapter 3, asking the question “how can we endure?”. As we have been reading, the Thessalonians at the time of writing were suffering from persecution yet their faith in Jesus had not faltered. How can we follow their example when experiencing troubled periods in our own lives?
Shona leads the rest of the service, with an update from Maureen on our Mission of the Month, BMS World Mission, and Pete and Nick lead our sung worship.
Our All-Age series on Frontline Sundays continues for December, with Chris looking at how we can show the love of God whoever we are. He examines the Lord’s Prayer in detail, explaining how each of the lines explains how we can worship God in our situation.
Ant leads the rest of the service whilst Mike leads the sung worship.
As we enter into advent, this year we are looking at the book of 1 Thessalonians. Advent is a time of reflection, of waiting on God, remembering the wait for Jesus’ birth and anticipating his return. Chris this week asks the question who will rescue us?
Andy leads the rest of the service as we participate in Communion and Nick leads the sung worship.
