The next in our series looks at the short parables of the treasure in the
field, and the pearl from Matthew 13:44-46. We discover that the Kingdom of
God is of incomparable worth, that people discover it in different ways and
that the response once it is found is that of joyful commitment. The
service included a baptism.
Caught in a storm the disciples panicked and when Jesus is woken, he asks
'Where is your faith?' (Luke 8:25). This message calls us to be those who
exercise our faith in the season ahead.
The great Banquet (or better titled 'The Great Invitation') from Luke 14:
14-25 describes the wide and generous invitation of God to all people into
his kingdom. We are to be like the servants in the story, going out
inviting people in to this great celebration.
This message continues our series looking at Jesus' kingdom parables, with
the story of the mustard seed and the yeast from Matthew 13: 31-35. The
encouragement from this story is that God's kingdom is often seen in quiet,
unseen ways that lead to life and growth. We can trust in His process of
growth and have confidence in his final outcome.
This message explores the parable of the Sower and how the hearers of Jesus
day, our community and us personally receive the message of the kingdom. It
also provides an encouragement to play our part in scattering the seed of
the kingdom.
In advance of a new series, "Glimpses of the Kingdom", in which we will be
looking at five of Jesus’ kingdom parables, we take a look at parables in
general. What is a parable? Why did Jesus teach in parables? How do we
interpret them?
The Christmas message is one of wonderful news set against the backdrop of
difficult circumstances. But why isn't more made of it in the Christmas
narratives? Perhaps it's because there is cost to this priceless good news
...
The Small Wonder of Jesus coming has always been part of God's wonderful
plan. Isaiah 2 hints at this future hope, acknowledges the present reality
we live in and invites us to walk in the light now.
With racism and xenophobia on the rise and a world that seems more
fractured than ever, we learn from Ezekiel 22:29-30 what it means to stand
in the gap the oppressed poor and needy and ill-treated foreigner; and from
2 Corinthians 5:16-20 our personal responsibility to be ministers of
reconciliation.
In this message Dave Gregory, Baptists Together Missioner for Science and
the Environment, shared from Isaiah 42 about being attentive to creation
and to the small things. Caring for God's world is a part of our
discipleship as Christians and a part of our worship.
Bekah shares a presentation about her work with 'Restored': a Christian
charity helping women who are survivors of domestic abuse.
Bekah Legg shares a message about modelling our lives on Jesus as we seek
to bring those on the margins into the centre - to find God's love, healing
and community.
The first in a new series called 'Jesus and Justice' this message is an
introduction providing a framework from which to understand why we as
Christians are to be committed to justice. Jesus' mission was to bring
justice and restoration to a broken world and we are to model our lives on
him.
James and John come to Jesus seeking their own place of glory….
This message is the final one in our series looking at the life of Moses,
from Deut 34: 1- Joshua 1-7. This message is about the transition from
Moses to Joshua and our call as disciples of Jesus to be in the business of
passing on the baton of the gospel to future generations.
The story of the 12 spies reporting back from their recce to the promised
land has something to teach us about how we approach obstacles, problems
and fears in the mission God has called us to.
In this battle with the Amalekites it's not just Moses that is involved and
Moses has an interesting and surprising tactic.
Looking at Exodus 4: 1-17 this message thinks about the challenge to 'sign
up for duty' in God's mission. Learning from Moses' fears and God's signs,
we learn that we are to trust God in spite of our doubts and to see what
God has put into our hands.
This is the first message in a series looking at pivotal moments in the
life of Moses, and what we can learn about his faith and obedience.
