Sermons from September 2024

Harvest 2024

This week we held our Harvest service for 2024. Andrew Dalwood speaks about Jesus meeting the Samaritan woman at the well and how God uses the most unlikely people to bring in his harvest.

Ant leads the rest of the service showing off his suprisingly in-depth knowledge of UK crop yields over the last year and Pete leads our sung worship.

Hope

As Chris and Lynne are away Peter Wells brings us the message this morning, speaking on Hope. What does the Bible say about our present hope and how can we have hope in the things yet to come? Andy leads the rest of the service whilst Nick and Pete lead our sung worship.

God’s Power Made Perfect

As we begin to draw to the end of our 2 Corinthians series we see Paul get more and more passionate that God’s power works in him through (and despite) his weaknesses. What do we define as ‘weakness’ and do we need to reassess our attitudes towards them?

Karen leads the rest of the service whilst Mike and Lynne lead our sung worship.

Boasting in Weakness

This week, after our breif summer detour, we return to our study in 2 Corinthians. Chris focusses on chapter 11 where Paul is laying out the key differences between his ministry and that of the “super-apostles” and false prophets whose main aim seemed to be to elevate themselves instead of Christ. He does this by speaking of his boasts – not of his own achievements but of his trials and weaknesses.

Susan leads the rest of the service as Lynne gives an update from the Mission of the Month, our very own Cooking Together at Home initiative, and Pete leads our sung worship.

Old Testament Heroines – Rahab

As it is the first Sunday of the month we hold our regular All Age Service for September. We continue a mini-series looking at the heroines of the Old Testament, those women whose impact resonates down the ages in their service to God. This month Shona looks at Rahab, a Canaanite who God not only saved but wove into the family line of the Messiah. We see how her act of faith save her family and ultimately all who put their faith in Jesus.
