Sermons from 2025

Epiphany: A Journey of Faith

For our final service of 2025 Chris speaks on the visit of the Magi, commonly celebrated at the traditional festival of Epiphany. The wise men were the first recorded people who seemingly understood and worshipped Jesus as God, not just as a new messenger or prophet. It wasn’t the Jewish teachers, or people who knew the Law really, really well, but (an unknown number of!) non-Jews who God chose to reveal the birth of His son to and guide so they could worship. How can we seek God’s guidance so He can reveal the path to us as well?

Andy leads the rest of the service, revealing his nerdy love of maps and navigation, whilst Pete leads our sung worship.

Love: The Invitation to Trust – Advent 2025, Week Four

In the final of our Advent series we look at the invitation that God gives us to trust in Him and the Son he sent to save us. Chris speaks on the love that God has for us, despite all our failings, that he sent Jesus to be one of us, live amongst us, and ultimately to die for us.

Karen leads the rest of the service as we share Communion together for the final time this year and Mike leads our sung worship.

Joy: The Echo of Good News – Advent 2025, Week Three

Shona leads our All Age service for December, continuing our advent themes. This week we were thinking about Joy. There is a difference between joy with a little “j” and joy with a capital “J”, this Christmastime we need to remember that true Joy (with a capital “J”) can only be achieved by finding Jesus.

Pete and Nick lead our sung worship this week.

To Seek and Save the Lost

This week we were visited by Jim Gourlay from Asia Link. Jim speaks about some of the gospel-spreading work he witnessed when travelling to Nepal earlier in the year and how the church in that country is one of the fastest-growing in the world. As part of that Jim speaks on the story of Zaccheus,…

Acts 20, Part One

Continuing our series in the book of Acts, Chris this week speaks on Paul’s travels after the dramatic events in Ephesus. We have seen over the course of his missionary journeys that Paul has partnered with many others, here he prepares to (temporarily!) leave the mission field and return to Jerusalem with a group composed of fellow mission workers from many of the churches he has visited and helped to establish. We see that from the very beginnings of its history the church draws together those from many different backgrounds, social classes, ethnicities, and giftings, all to work as one for the common goal of making Jesus known.

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

Remembrance Service 2025

This month our all age service coincides with Remembrance Sunday, when we come together as a nation to remember and pray for those who have served and given their lives in conflict. Chris reminds us that only through the cross of Jesus can true peace be obtained.

Mike and Lynne lead our sung worship.

Acts 19, Part Two

Our series in Acts continues. Last week we saw the Holy Spirit descend powerfully during Paul’s stay in Ephesus, this week we see the response of those in Ephesus unwilling to open up to Paul’s message and renounce their idols. Chris speaks on how as Christians we are called to reject that which society at large holds in high regard, whether that is money, power, position, or anything else that holds us back from embracing the good news of Christ whole-heartedly.

Karen leads the rest of the service as we continue to respond to the Spirit’s powerful presence amongst us. Pete and Nick lead our sung worship.

Acts 19, Part One

Today we carried on in our study of the book of Acts, hearing about Paul’s second visit to Ephesus and the extraordinarily powerful way the Spirit fell on the believers in that city. Those that heard the good news were convicted by the Holy Spirit and abandoned the false teachings and practices of their earlier lives. Chris speaks on what a powerfully transforming influence being filled with – and continuing to be filled with – the Holy Spirit can be as we pray for one another in an unusual (but Biblically sound!) way.

Andy leads the rest of the service as we have our final YWAM update and Mike leads our sung worship.
