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.

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.

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!

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.
