An All Age Service focusing on our security in God.
Sermons by Chris Johnson (Page 11)
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.
This week we re-start a series we last looked at in May 2021, looking at Psalm 119: Life From A to Z. And quite appropriately, Chris’ focus for this service is remembering. Can we remember what we learnt over a year ago, and more importantly do we remember God’s promises that he’s made to us?
Susan leads the rest of the service whilst Pete and Nick lead our sung worship.
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.
Part of human nature is the desire to be accepted, whether that is by our family, friends, colleagues, even by society at large. But what do we put ourselves through to try and attain that acceptance? Chris reminds us that whether we are accepted or rejected by the world doesn’t matter, it’s whether we are…
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.
