Where does your hope come from? This Resurrection Sunday Chris looks at Jesus’ mission, which was fulfilled through the cross to seek and save the lost. Can Jesus reignite your hope through his sacrifice today?

For our All Age Palm Sunday service Chris leads us in several reflections based around the events of the 8 days of Holy Week. From the Triumphal Entry to Jesus’ crucifixion and resurrection the following weekend how do we respond to his amazing sacrifice?

This week we complete our Advent series with Chris looking at John’s account of the coming of Jesus. Like Mark he dispenses with the story of the birth, choosing not to to focus on the literal events that took place but on the immense implications of Jesus’ arrival. He takes us right the way back to Genesis and Exodus to explain how the same God that created the world and had spoken to Moses through the burning bush came down to Earth in the form of Jesus. His purpose is to explain these events so that through the spirit-influenced writings we may be confident in our belief in Jesus.
Karen leads the rest of the service whilst Mike leads our sung worship and we also share communion together.
In a world where absolute truth is increasingly being sidelined by opinions stated as truth as Christians we have the task of making sure that the truth of Jesus doesn’t get diluted by false truths and alternate facts. How do we do that? Chris looks at how – through the ability to love given to us through the Holy Spirit – we can confront the sin and evil in the world with the truth of Jesus.
Susan leads the rest of the service with our final YWAM update, and Pete leads our sung worship.
Over the summer we have been looking at four of Jesus’ healing miracles from John’s gospel. This week in the final part of the series Chris speaks on perhaps the most incredible miracle of all – the raising of Lazarus from the dead. We are reminded that God doesn’t always work to our earthly timelines but uses all things to reveal His glory.
James leads the rest of the service with sung worship this week led by Nick and Pete.
In the next part of our summer series on Jesus’ healing miracles throughout John Chris loosk at the story of Jesus healing the man born blind. What does the man’s reaction to Jesus say about our faith? Have we met the Son of Man?
Andy leads the rest of the service with a moment of minor embarassment whilst Pete and Nick lead our sung worship.
Continuing in our summer series on Jesus’ healing miracles, this week Chris looks at the healing of the paralysed man in Jerusalem. Why did Jesus choose to heal just him and not the others surrounding the pool? And what does the conversation Jesus has with him have to teach us about our attitudes towards miraculous healing?
Shona leads the rest of the service with sung worship led by Pete.
Today we begin our summer series, and this year we will be focussing on Jesus’ healing miracles in the gospel of John. Throughout his book, John outlines seven miracles as evidence that Jesus was indeed who he said he was. In the healing of the official’s son we see that Jesus doesn’t even need to be anywhere near the person for healing to take place and Chris explores the implications of that discovery.
Karen leads the rest of the service with an update on our Mission of the Month for July, Stand by Me, and Mike leads our sung worship. There is also an opportunity for prayer for healing.
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.
