Starting With God: Back to Creation

Everyone has a favourite painting, whether you’re interested in art or not, a picture that you can admire and try to understand the artist’s intention. Something that reveals part of their nature. How amazing would it be if you could actually meet with the artist and understand their true character and intention? Paul says in his letter to the Romans that by admiring God’s handiwork in nature His eternal power and divine nature are revealed to us, but only when we converse and meet with God do we begin to understand His true nature. Chris speaks on how we should move from simply admiring the world that God has created to being in true relationship with Him, only then will He be fully revealed to us.

Karen leads the rest of the service whilst Pete leads our sung worship this week.

Pentecost 2026: When the Spirit Began to Flow

Throughout this year we’ve been thinking about the river of God flowing from the temple in Ezekiel’s vision. Well, Pentecost was day 1 of that prophecy coming true. The Spirit came in power on the disciples in the upper room and flowed out through them into the people of Jerusalem. Chris reminds us that we are called to be continually filled with the God’s Holy Spirit and let the Spirit flow through us and into our communities today, just as he did all those centuries ago.

Growing in the Dark

As Chris is away this week we have Kevin Burdett bringing God’s word to us and he speaks on the Kingdom of God growing in the dark. Just like the seeds that a farmer plants in the ground sometimes it may appear that nothing is happening, however what we fail to see is what is…

Living Water

Following on from our amazing Anniversary Community Day yesterday Ant leads our all age service for May by taking us back to the Sunday Schools of his youth. There’s even a sword drill or two! But there is also a serious point: by looking back into our own church history we can see God’s stream of living water giving nourishment and we can have no doubt that he will continue to do so through us for many years to come.

Pete and Nick lead our sung worship this week.

Starting With God: The Cross

In first century Judea a cross was not generally something talked about in polite conversation, let alone boasted about. Yet through Jesus’ victory Paul says that he (and by extension we) can boast in the achievement of the cross. As we continue our starting with God series Chris examines Jesus’ victory, the turning of a symbol of terror and oppression into a symbol of hope and how we can still see God’s glory through the cross.

Karen leads the rest of the service as we have our first update from May’s mission of the month, AIM, and Pete and Nick lead our sung worship.
