This week we conclude our series on spiritual warfare by looking at prayer ministry. In warfare the most effective place of defence and attack is a stronghold. Chris looks at how, through prayer ministry, we can stop the enemy building any additional strongholds in us and crushing those strongholds which he has made already.
Ant leads the rest of the service whilst Pete and Nick lead our sung worship.
Our series in spiritual warfare continues with Chris this week looking at the way we can protect ourselves and the weapons we have to fight back. Paul gives us the sermon-writer’s perfect illustration in Ephesians, illustrating the armour of God which Chris distills into three main weapons: prayer, worship and scripture.
James leads the rest of the service speaking about Mother’s Day and leading prayers whilst Mike leads our sung worship.
This week we continue our series in spiritual warfare with Chris looking at exactly who it is the war is being fought against. We all know that our enemy is Satan, but how does he try and undermine God? And how can we be more aware of his attempts to gain influence in our lives.
Karen leads the rest of the service with prayers for our Mission of the Month, YFC, and Mike leads our sung worship.
This week was our annual covenant service where as a church we renew our covenant both with God and with each other. Chris looks at this declaration of unity in the light of our current series on spiritual warfare. By standing united with one another as a church we deny the enemy the foothold that he is looking for to exploit our weaknesses.
Susan leads the rest of the service as we also commision our leaders for the year ahead, whilst Pete and Nick lead our sung worship.
We continue our series looking at spiritual warfare this week with Chris reassuring us that whilst the battle is still ongoing, the victory has already been won through Jesus. Through the triumph over death at the cross God’s final victory against the enemy is assured, yet we still have a part to play in the battle.
Andy leads the rest of the service, speaking about Jesus being the good shepherd and Mike leads our sung worship.
This week we begin a new series looking at spiritual warfare, and to start us off Chris looks at the Biblical basis for our beliefs surrounding the subject. He examines how the earthly and spiritual realms are interconnected, what happens in one has effects in the other, and looks at the power of prayer to influence those battles that we cannot see.
James leads the rest of the service with prayers for our Mission of the Month (Asia Link) and Nick leads our sung worship.
A few weeks ago we revealed our year text for 2023: let your light shine (Matt. 5:16). This week Chris looks at the verse in it’s original context, towards the beginning of the Sermon on the Mount. We find the verse nestled between the Beatitudes and Jesus’ teaching that whoever obeys the commands of God will find themselves called great in the kingdom of Heaven. What does that therefore mean for our year text?
Karen leads the rest of the service with our sung worship led by Pete and Nick.
This week we were joined by those from other churches in Burwell and the surrounding villages and towns for our annual Unity service. This year the theme focussed on racial justice. Chris speaks on the parable of the Good Samaritan, how that helped to break down racial barriers in the time of Jesus and how it can help us in the 21st century too.
The rest of the service contains prayers and reflections led by each of the four denominations in the village whilst our sung worship is led by Mike and Nick.
In the light (pun intended) of our year text for 2023, “let your light shine”, Chris looks at Paul’s teaching to the church in Phillipi to do everything without grumbling or arguing so that our light might shine. Grumbling leads to discontent, which in turn leads to the bowl being placed over our light, both personally and as a church. How can we keep ourselves from grumbling?
Susan leads the rest of the service as Pete brings us an update from our Mission of the Month, CSW, and leads our sung worship alongside Nick.
This week we held our Vision Service for 2023. The vision service is a chance for us as a church to reflect on what God has done in the previous year and look forward to His provision in the year to come. It also gives us the opportunity to revel our year text for 2023, taken from Matthew 5:16. Let your light shine!
Andy leads the service, with the message given by Chris and sung worship led by Mike.
