Sermons from 2026

Isaiah 43:19

Sometimes we feel like our lives are in a dry spell. Maybe we assume that God has stopped using us and that our most fruitful days are behind us. This is not true, and Isaiah’s prophecy has the counter to that: “See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland.” Chris speaks on this passage and reminds us that God is always seeking to do something new and fresh in our lives.

Ant leads the rest of our service as we hold 2 minutes of silence for Remembrance Sunday and Pete and Nick lead our sung worship.

Starting With God: Who is the LORD?

This week Chris continues our Starting With God series by asking the question: who is the LORD? During the 40 years the Israelites spent wandering in the desert God reveals his true self in power to Moses on Mount Sinai. Any preconceptions Moses had were wiped away. Today we see God revealed through the person of Jesus yet we still hang on to our own (sometimes inaccurate) preconceptions of who God really is. How can we, like Moses, have those wiped away?

Lorraine leads the rest of the service as we have a visit from YFC to give us an update on their work with young people in the local area. Mike and Lynne lead our sung worship.

Starting With God: Whatever Next!

A couple of weeks ago in our Starting With God series we were looking at what God’s plans for now are. This week Chris takes it one step further and speaks on what God’s ultimate future plan is for us. Thanks to Jesus death is not the end, we can look forward to an eternity in His presence in a new (and improved) creation.

175 Years: Celebrating Our Past, Building For Our Future

This week we have the culmination of our year-long celebrations of our 175th Anniversary, a service where we celebrate our past yet also look forward to building our future. Chris looks at the generations of people whose witness allowed God’s message to flow from a small fenland chapel out into the wider village and beyond and also challenges us as to what we can do to ensure that future generations can also be blessed just as countless people have been before.

Pete leads our sung worship in this special service – stepping out from behind the piano as we experience the styles of worship from decades past, right up to the present day.

Starting With God: What’s He Doing Now?

Last week in our Starting With God series we were reminded that God is not dead (no!), this time Chris takes it one step further to examine that – as He is alive – how is He working out his plans? The answer comes in an unexpected and slightly daunting form: his plans are being worked out through the Church. Through us!

Peter leads the rest of the service as we share communion together and Lynne and Mike lead our sung worship.

Starting With God: God’s Not Dead!

A potential criticism of Christianity could be that we all follow the teachings of a dead leader, interpreted and changed by human minds for 2000 years. But that’s not true, and for one very big reason: God is not dead! In a return to our Starting with God series Chris looks at how that transforms our understanding of scripture and how we should be open to God’s living Spirit in us.

Lynne leads the rest of the service as we begin to think about YWAM for our Mission of the Month and both Lynne and Mike lead our sung worship.

The Lord is my Shepherd

Susan brings us the message this week from Psalm 23, leading us through a reflection on each of the different sections of David’s most famous psalm. We are reminded that turning our hearts toward God in every situation that we find ourselves in is essential in keeping us on the right paths laid out before us.

Andy leads the rest of the service with a bit of a blast from the past whilst Pete leads our sung worship this week.

Tearfund 2026

This week Liz Kinsella visited us from Tearfund to speak both about their work, particularly in South Sudan, and also remind us that God can multiply whatever little we think we have and use it to create lasting transformation. Ant leads the rest of the service with a timely reminder that none of us are…

175th Anniversary Harvest Service

After a break of a few months we resume our 175th Anniversary celebrations with our annual celebration of the Harvest festival. Lorraine and Chris lead our service as we not only reflect on God’s provision of food for the year but also remember the witness that our church has been to the wider village over the last 175 years.

I tell you, open your eyes and look at the fields! They are ripe for harvest. Even now the one who reaps draws a wage and harvests a crop for eternal life, so that the sower and the reaper may be glad together. (John 4:35-36, NIV)

Pete and Nick lead our sung worship this week.

Starting With God: You Are My God

This Sunday we celebrated the baptisms of Abs and Luke, two people who have decided to make the outward declaration of their faith and follow Jesus through the waters. We hear from both of them as they share their testimonies with us, of how God has led them both in their lives and helped them make the decision to publically profess their faith.

Elsewhere in the service Chris (who has been relegated to the second paragraph this week – I’m sure he won’t mind!) continues in our Starting With God series by looking at David’s declarations that God is his God. We see that what we choose to worship reflects our deep-rooted priorities and how we too can join David in his declarations.
