Sermons from May 2025

Themes in Hebrews: Jesus is Better

This week we begin a new series looking at the themes that run through the book of Hebrews. Chris starts off by focussing on the first four verses of the book where the author is beginning to explain who Jesus is. Through these few short verses we see that Jesus is better than anything we could possibly imagine!

Andy leads the rest of the service as we respond to our previous series on prayer, whilst Pete and Nick lead our sung worship.

Jesus’ Teaching on Prayer: Luke 11

This week we conclude our short series looking at Jesus’ teaching on prayer. We started the series looking at Matthew’s account of Jesus’ teaching about the Lord’s Prayer and we conclude with Luke writing about the same event. As Chris is away at the Baptist Assembly, Peter Wells speaks on how we can be bold in our prayer life and how our whole lives can become lives of prayer.

Ant leads the rest of the service with some thoughts about our latest new friend, Jim (you had to be there…), whilst Ricky and Dave lead our sung worship.

Parables of Jesus: The Banquet

James leads our All Age Service for May, continuing our look at the parables of Jesus. This time it’s the parable Jesus told about the Banquet. We learn to be humble, not taking the most important place at the table but instead sitting in the least position and awaiting our invitation.

Lynne and Dave lead our sung worship this week.

Jesus’ Teaching on Prayer: Ask, Seek, Knock

We continue our new series looking at what Jesus taught us about prayer by looking a bit further on in the Sermon on the Mount to where Jesus is speaking about persistence in prayer. Chris speaks about how our answers from God don’t always come immediately or all in one piece and we need to keep on praying in perseverence (but not too much!) until what God is saying to us is fully revealed.

Karen leads the rest of the service as we have an update from our new mission of the month, AIM, from Kath and Mike and Dave lead our sung worship.
