On Sunday, Steve spoke from 1 Corinthians 12 – 14 about the gift of Tongues. Here are some questions that you may wish to use to aid discussion in your small group meetings this week: Who is speaking to whom with tongues? What are tongues used for? What is the gift of interpretation? What...
On Sunday Andrew spoke briefly about our response to the coronavirus pandemic, how God is our shelter and our strength (Psalm 46:1-5), He is in control and He will never leave us (Heb 12:26 – 13:6). We need to pray for God to have His way, for God to give wisdom to political and other leaders, for...
On Sunday Andrew talked about how the Church is Christ’s bride. The Church is betrothed to Him and marked by the Holy Spirit in the same way that an engagement ring shows anyone who sees it that the wearer is “spoken for” (Ephesians 1:13-14). For discussion: How does knowing that Christ is returning for His...
This follows on from and builds on Mike’s talk on 9th February, “Advance the gospel by the way you live“. Although it is important to live the life of a witness, it is also important to advance the gospel by the way you speak. When Jesus spoke, He spoke with authority and impact, people were...
On Sunday we welcomed Mike Sprenger back for the second time. His theme was “Advance the gospel by the way you live”. He spoke about how we are called to be witnesses as opposed to witness. The Spirit-filled life will open up conversations and we need to be alert to opportunities as a consequence. Our...
On Sunday we looked at part two of the role of the Holy Spirit in the church – the impact of the Holy Spirit in our personal lives. Jesus promised that we would be baptised in the Holy Spirit (Acts 1:5) and Paul’s instructions to us to then be filled and go on being filled...
We were privileged to have evangelist Mike Sprenger with us yesterday for the first of four sessions this term. In this first session he spoke on ‘Revival’ using Acts 2, the first recorded revival, as the template. Revival always starts with believers (only something already alive can be revived), but moves to touch unbelievers and leads...
On Sunday we introduced our new series ‘A Spirit-Filled People On Mission’. Over the next few months we will be focusing on God’s mission and what it is to be a people full of the Holy Spirit. As part of this we have invited an evangelist, Mike Sprenger, who will be with us on four...

This week we looked at “The Problem with Christianity is there is no evidence for God”. I responded to a couple of the specific responses we received: firstly to say that I believe the “God” question is one worth everyone forming their own position on, rather than simply going along with what the loudest/most obvious...
Andrew Davies is based in Pontypridd, South Wales where he has been church planting. He has a strong prophetic ministry and has worked with us over the few years particularly, during. Missionfest Dresden. Andrew visited us on Sunday and spoke on bringing encouragement to those in...
On Sunday we were thinking about some of the things that had arisen from our use of Psalm 40 during the week of prayer last week. Looking at the first ten verses I made a number of points including: Waiting patiently – this is one of the hardest parts of the Christian life – waiting...
On Sunday we continued our summer series on the Names of God, focusing on Immanuel, “God with us”. We looked how God with us has made life worth living in accordance to Philippians 1:21-22. We then looked at how the word ‘Immanuel’ appears only three times in the Bible, besides the reference in Isaiah 7:14,...
On Sunday we continued our Names of God series by looking at the Lord is Peace. We looked at the call of Gideon in the book of Judges where that name is revealed. We found that: True peace comes through being right with God. God’s peace doesn’t just mean an end to the war between...
Last Sunday we continued our series looking at different names of God, this week learning what it means to call on God as the Lord who heals us. In my talk, my aim was to help us to widen our scope – to help us see how God is interested in our whole being. We...
On Sunday we continued our summer series on the Names of God, focusing on The Lord our Provider. We introduced this name of God through Genesis 22:1-14, where Abraham undergoes a huge test in that God asks him to sacrifice his son, Isaac. God had already promised to make Abraham into a great nation, that...
The questions for this week’s small group are designed to accompany the talk rather than delve further into it. As the topic was the Lord of Hosts, I’d like to look at two passages that encourage us to look God’s use of armies in the eye: Passage 1: Numbers 31. Note: this is about as hard...
We’ve been calling on God’s name and asking that he would send revival to our city and our nation. In this context I introduced our summer series on the Names of God, and God’s name “I Am who I Am”. Names have at least three purposes: Identification – to distinguish from each another (e.g. name...
‘Therefore as we received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in him, rooted and built up in him, established in the faith, just as you were taught, abounding in thanksgiving.’ As we received Salvation in Christ with no effort of our own, but just by simple faith, in the same way we move on and...
On Sunday we continued our Joy series by looking at the joy of our salvation. We looked at how having an external, unending source of joy means our default position through life can be one of joy, even through the ups and downs of life. I used the illustration of the difference between being battery...
Unfortunately due to a technical issue the first couple of minutes weren’t recorded. This Sunday we looked at Joy in work. We started by defining how by work we meant what we you do with your non-leisure time whether that is paid work, voluntary work or caring for children. We looked at some of...
This Sunday we looked at Joy in Trials, set in the context of the recent prophecies for Jubilee Church Coventry about a new season He is bringing us into. When God moves his people it always involves a degree of stretch and challenge. In this new season, like all the seasons past, there will be...
On Sunday we looked at the tricky question of finding joy in persecution. Jesus told us we would be able to rejoice during such times in Matthew 5:10-12. I told the story from Acts 16 when Paul and Silas were thrown into prison for preaching the gospel at Philippi. We saw how they were able to rejoice...
Jubilee Missionaries of Joy! This week we looked at the topic of joy and mission. I started by arguing that God is a missionary of Joy, from beginning to end! From the beginning, he is joyful in himself. His end goal is to be known in all the world, which means great joy in all...
On Sunday we looked at how the certain knowledge of our future in heaven can be a source of Joy in whatever circumstances we face in this world. We started by recognising that heaven is difficult to describe as we have never seen anything like it (1 Cor 2:9), we considered 2 similar passages that...
On Sunday morning we continued our series on joy by considering what it means for us to find joy in Jesus’ bride, the church. We used the apostle Paul’s beautiful words to the Philippian church in Philippians 4v1 to help us with this – “my brothers, whom I love and long for, my joy and...
On Sunday we were looking forward to our week of prayer. We considered briefly the question “Why pray?” and also “What will we pray for?” We looked at two passages from the gospels to try and answer these questions. The first from Matthew and the second from Mark. In the Matthew passage we saw that...
Last Sunday we resumed our series on Joy, and we looked at Jesus’s vision for Joy in Every Nation. I shared how certain powerful, biblical truths can change the way we see the world, like looking through the lens of 3D glasses. The lens which we explored is the vision of Jesus, as described in...
Sunday was Palm Sunday and we spent our morning looking at this story through the Bible; how Jesus was promised as the New Solomon and the New Moses for over 1,000 years. However, what no one expected was that Jesus was also the New Passover Lamb. This meant that the crowds expected Jesus to be...
Last Sunday was our latest “Serving Sunday” – thanks so much to everyone who took the chance to volunteer to serve in different teams on Sunday mornings over the next six months. Faith kindly recorded what each of the team leaders said, so if you would like to hear these, follow the links in the...
On Sunday we continued our Joy series by looking together at how much God loves us! We made a decision together to “let God be true though everyone were a liar” (Romans 3:4) and looked at God’s word and engaged with the Holy Spirit, asking him to make the love of God real in our...
This week’s preach was entitled, “Is Christ Enough?” What has Jesus done? Using Matthew 11:27-28 we saw how Jesus extends the love that he and the Father share to us. Father and Son have eternally delighted in one another and now Jesus has come to share that delight with us. What do we have...
Our God is uncreated. God has always been one God (Isaiah 45) and has always been Father, Son and Holy Spirit. God is and always has been a loving and joyful God. Here are some questions for discussion in your Small Groups this week. God was not lonely before creation and does not need us now. How is...
This week we continued our series on James and looked at James 5:16b – 18. The focus of the passage is that prayer is very powerful. Drawing on the story of Elijah I made a few suggestions as to how to pray powerful prayers: Pray using your whole body and emotions Pray with the Holy...
On Sunday we continued our series preaching through James. This week we looked at James 5:13-16a and talked about the community James describes as a community of authenticity. We looked at how our society places a high value on authenticity, but cannot seem to achieve it due to several barriers; shame, insecurity, fear of rejection,...
On Sunday we looked at James 5:7-12. We saw how James’ advice to people who were suffering was Patience. His encouragement was to look at the Farmer and to consider Job to see how he, and others, were eventually considered blessed through their extreme suffering. In your small groups you may like to consider: Why...
On Sunday we studied James 5:1-7. These challenging verses delivered two key messages: To the Rich Oppressor, justice is coming. Your wealth will do you no good, it is moth-eaten and rusty and is evidence against you. To the Poor Oppressed, justice is coming. The Lord has heard your cries. In the UK we find...
On Sunday we began preaching through James again by looking at James 4:13-17. We asked the question; whose will do you want to live for this year? I talked about the broad brush strokes of God’s will for our lives and how we already know these; that we are to love God and love others and...
On Sunday we looked at James 4:1-12. This completes a long section of the letter from 3:1 – 4:12. In the section as a whole James is dealing with dissention amongst the church, much of which was being caused by what they were saying to each other. The whole piece can be divided into three...
On Sunday we continued our series on James by looking at James 3 v 13-18 and the difference between wisdom from above and selfish ambition. We looked at how this passage sums up the battle mankind has faced from the Garden of Eden through to today. This is what makes a seemingly fairly straightforward choice so challenging,...
We continued our series on James on Sunday by looking at the subject of how we use our tongues and words (including on social media, blogs etc) from James 3v1-12. The passage contains several really helpful and challenging illustrations so do make sure that you read the passage together rather than just discussing what I...
On Sunday we looked at James 2: 14-26. Do read it again. Some Christians can be very confused by the apparent contradiction between what Paul teaches about grace and faith and what James teaches about faith and works. There is no contradiction at all, instead what get when we study Paul and James together is...
Hi everyone, On Sunday we continued our series preaching through the book of James by looking at James 2:1-13. I said that I believe our response to this passage will prove to be important if we are to fulfil God’s commission on us to be an Isaiah 61 people who preach good news to the...
The passage we thought about was James ch 1:26-7. We spent time thinking about what James meant by the term “religious”, and that it means those who have a relationship with God rooted in their hearts and shaping their lives. James then goes on to outline 3 ways in which our relationship with God affects...
On Sunday we continued our series preaching through the letter of James by looking at James 1:19-25. We asked the question, ‘What does it mean to be a doer of the word?’. We looked back at what Jesus says about this in Matthew 7 and saw that Jesus said it is those who ‘do the...
On Sunday we looked at James 1:12-18 – temptation! We considered that temptation itself is not sin and it never comes from God, only good things that lead to light come from God. How we deal with temptation can be a trial and can either lead to us pleasing God and gaining the “crown of...
This week we looked at James 1:9-11, where James encourages the lowly Christian to boast or take pride in their high position (their exaltation) and the rich in their low position (their humiliation). We talked about the fact that all humans are born into the sin of Adam and Eve – we do what they...
This Sunday was our first ever Serving Sunday. As well as some small group questions this email also has some important information about when the new system starts and how to sign up if you were away or serving on Kids work. Videos of the team leaders talking about their teams will be available from tomorrow,...
On Sunday we looked at James 1:5-8. Ask for wisdom! We considered three areas of life where you might need to ask for wisdom: When facing difficult circumstances, When loving others, When making important decisions. I gave two examples from the life of Jesus (The death of Lazarus, Jesus’ arrest) together with a quick look...
(Apologies for the lower than usual quality of this recording. We had some technical difficulties this Sunday.) “Count it all joy, brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds.” Following Jesus does not offer an escape from trials, difficulties and suffering. The original receivers of this book were a persecuted refugee community and knew this only...
On Sunday we began our new series, preaching through the letter of James. This Sunday was an introduction to the series and the letter. James is a challenging and practical letter, written to his now refugee community who were facing poverty and persecution, James seeks to write his practical wisdom on the impact the gospel...
Sunday was the penultimate preach in the Elijah series (which has been amazing). We looked at the story in 1 Kings 19:1-16 where Elijah gets burned out, runs away and then after a process of restoration and healing is recommissioned by God and sent back out into Israel. The key points which I picked out...
Elijah said to Ahab, ‘Go up, eat and drink, for there is the SOUND of abundance of rain.’ Elijah knew prophetically that God had promised it would rain. The season of drought is over! It is time for life to spring forth in every area of our lives. What exactly has God spoken about us?...
This Sunday we heard about the epic stand-off on Mount Carmel between Elijah and the prophets off Baal (1 Kings 18: 20-40). We explored how this is a story about death coming to life. Israel was a nation undecided, a nation divided, and a nation desperately in need of reviving. While many had turned their...
On Sunday we read through 1 Kings 18:17-21: the beginning of an epic face-off between the evil King Ahab and God’s prophet – Elijah. We saw how, despite an abundance of hardships, God presented Israel with a choice: “If the LORD is God, follow him; If Baal is God then follow him.” We went on to see how God is asking the...
On Sunday, we looked at the story of the Elijah and the son of the widow of Zarephath in 1 Kings 17: 17 to 24. In this famous story the Lord has sent Elijah to stay with the widow and her son and provided for them miraculously with a continued supply of food. But then...
This week, we kicked off our summer series looking at the Life & Times of Elijah. Before we get into the meat of what God has to teach us, I set the scene in two ways: Firstly, I shared how this series is timely for the season that we’re in as a church as we...
On Sunday we finished our Foundations series by talking about Church being family. We discussed the following: There is a challenge to us to build a church that models family in the way God intended. This means saying no to individualism and yes to a community based on love – this is an act of surrender....
On Sunday, we looked at giving in the context of trusting God. We saw how when Jesus sent out the 12 and the 72 from Luke 9 and 10 he told them to take no money as he was teaching them how to trust God totally. We then saw from Matthew 6:24-34 How Jesus encourages...
This Sunday I delivered the second of two sermons on serving. In the first sermon, Richard Thomas described a great church as being one that serves. My opening observation is that by that measure Jubilee is a great church. If you are regularly serving at Jubilee, well done! You are part of what makes us...
