Sermons from May 2023

Pentecost: The Church in Unity

For our Pentecost service this year Simon Bailey reminds us that although churches around the world may have different traditions or ways to worship we are all called as Christians to profess Jesus’ name through the Holy Spirit. There is more that unites us than separates us.

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

Jesus: And You Will be Children of the Most High

Roger Standing continues his monthly mini-series looking at Jesus. This week he looks at Jesus’ teaching about how generous God is with us and his undeserving kindness to us: the ungrateful and wicked. How can we reflect that generosity to others?

Andy leads the rest of the service as we share communion together and Pete and Nick lead our sung worship.

The Prayer of the New Testament

Our Mission of the Month for May is Africa Inland Mission (AIM), a cause that is close to our hearts as a church (and a number of our members in particular). Phil Gibson, a representative of AIM joins us this week to speak about his connection to the ministry of AIM. Phil also speaks on Paul’s prayer of thanksgiving to the Ephesian church and looks at how the power of Christ lifts us from our normal lives and gives us a throne in heaven. All we need to do is believe. Strap yourselves in because this talk is a good one!

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

King of Kings

This week we hold our All-Age service for May. Ant leads us through the service, based around the coronation of King Charles III. We are reminded that whilst Charles may now be our earthly king, we also serve and worship a King greater than any power on Earth.

Mike leads our sung worship this week.
