Pentecost 2026: When the Spirit Began to Flow

Throughout this year we’ve been thinking about the river of God flowing from the temple in Ezekiel’s vision. Well, Pentecost was day 1 of that prophecy coming true. The Spirit came in power on the disciples in the upper room and flowed out through them into the people of Jerusalem. Chris reminds us that we are called to be continually filled with the God’s Holy Spirit and let the Spirit flow through us and into our communities today, just as he did all those centuries ago.

Susan leads the rest of the service whilst Pete and Nick lead our sung worship.

Be Filled with The Spirit – Part 1

Holiness, love and forgiveness are characteristics of the people the Spirit gathers. These are not arbitary religious practices but reflect the relationship within the Trinity and from God towards each of us. We are called to imitate God in expressing these atributes. In this passage Paul highlights the role of sung worship in helping us to speak the truth to each other and express our love for God. The environment of mutual submission which grows in regularly worshipping together is the next step in building a dwelling place for God.

Unity in the Spirit

Chris Johnson
Holy Spirit
Ephesians

In the light of God’s amazing plan to build a dwelling place amongst His people, the Apostle Paul exhorts us to live a life worthy of our calling. Chris unpacks what that looks like in practice. How do we go about using the gifts we have been given by Christ to build a dwelling place for God? How do we avoid grieving the Holy Spirt?

Measureless Might Unchangeable Love

Being strengthened by the Spirit so: Christ my dwell in our hearts through faith and we may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God. Sounds great to me! Let’s pray for that!

Revealer of Mysteries

Thanks to the Apostle Paul, Chris reveals the mystery of God’s eternal purpose. This is what it is all about and what has all been about and what we are called to be part of now. So if you want to do the works God has prepared you for – listen in….

The Temple of the Living God

The Lord is building a dwelling place for Himself. In Jesus Christ He has laid the foundation stone – all the fullness of God in bodily form. By the Spirit He dwells in each believer and now through the exercise of the gifts of the Spirit He sets about the work of build a temple of living stones. Will we join the building by eagerly desiring the Spirit’s gifts and using them to build up the body?

Sealed by The Spirit

Today we being our new series looking at the Life of the Spirit from Paul’s letter to the Christians in Ephesus. Chris opens the series by exploring what it means to be sealed by the Spirit. Our life in the Spirit is first of all a life where we are chosen and marked out to be God’s people, His possession, His letter and under his protection. We are adopted into His family, given an inheritance of redemption and forgiveness. We have the deposit now and the promise of full inheritance when Jesus is revealed and He returns to redeem those in His possession.
