Sermons from July 2025

Themes in Hebrews: A Call to Persevere

We come to the conclusion of our series in the book of Hebrews as Peter Wells looks at the final theme: a call to persevere. We see in chapter 10 that the writer implores his readers to persevere in faith in many different ways through the phrase “let us”. An encouragement for us to run with perseverance the race marked out before us (sound familiar?) despite whatever potential traps the enemy lays in our way.

Themes in Hebrews: Entering God’s Rest

This week we carry on with our series in Hebrews with Chris focussing on us resting in God’s presence. We see how this develops from God resting on the seventh day of creation through the years of Jubilee given to the Israelites to us today being invited – through Jesus – into God’s eternal presence. All we need to do is believe and not fall away.

Parables of Jesus: The Sower

Shona leads our all age service for July, continuing our mini-series looking at Jesus’ many parables. This time it is the parable of the sower. We are reminded that when we recieve the good news of Jesus we are to pass it on to others so that God can reap a crop multiple times that which was sown.

Mike leads our sung worship this week.

Themes in Hebrews: Maturity

Chris continues with our series looking at the themes throughout the book of Hebrews by this time highlighting maturity. We are told throughout scripture to have a strong foundation to our faith. This is undoubtedly important! But if we stay at that level and do not mature we are not living up to our true potential in God. Chris looks at how we can become more mature as Christians.
