Citizenship in Christ
Series: In Christ
Preacher: Mike Hill
Sunday Morning
*Date:* 4th June 2023
*Passage:* Philippians 3:12-4:1
-------------------
This message seeks to explain why a Christian's primary identity is in Christ and why excessive current theories of identity complicate the whole identity terrain. The net result of all this is that certain groups weaponise identity to make claims on society that create suspicion and perplexity, even discrimination. The call to "press on" in a secular world is as important now as it was when Paul wrote to the Colossians. Hiding our identity in Christ should no longer be an option. Stand Up! Speak Up! Pray up!

Preacher: Suzy Kirkham
Date: 2nd October 2021
Passage: Luke 12:13-21
On this Harvest Sunday, Suzy looks at the well-known Parable in Luke 12 of the rich fool. For us in the West this is a challenging one, as it addresses the trend in many of our society's obsession with materialism, getting more stuff and having the best of everything. We can all get drawn into this. So today as we thank God for our Harvest, it is good to be reminded as Christians should be to not only material wealth but life.

The Great Wedding
Series: Songs for the Journey, Summer in the Psalms
Preacher: Clive Jennings
Date: 8th August 2021
Passage: Psalm 45:1-17
This week we attend a wedding.
Has anyone ever written a song for you or a poem specifically for you? There are quite a few songs around that have been written for people, some complimentary, some less so!
This morning we explore this Psalm, written for a King and his wife on their wedding day and reflect on ourselves, the Church, often referred to as the Bride of Christ. What’s people’s enduring picture of His Church, what do they say of us and do they write well of us?
Are we His Church beautiful and fit for the King of Kings?
A Prayer for Help

Preacher: Adam Wingrove
Date: 1st August 2021
Passage: Psalm 44:1-26
When we face storms, when we face troubles or problems, and we have no other solution, when we are tired, we are hurt. We are low, when we see no solution, and God is silent with no intervention. He calls us to be still, and this stillness is full of peace. He calls us to submit to him in everything we do and wait patiently on him. And he will intervene. We just need to be still and wait upon him with faith and trust because, in the waiting, he is turning our mess into a message. Wait and trust in him.
Prayer Is Our Sat Nav

Covenant Commitment
Series: Nehemiah: Principles for Life
Preacher: Mike Hill
Date: 18th July 2021
Passages:
- Nehemiah 10:28-29
- Nehemiah 9:38
After the rebuilding of the wall, God’s people had once again started to drift from the agreed covenant commitment. Nehemiah rebukes them and encourages them to return to God.
God’s promise to us isn’t vague or empty but a solemn and binding undertaking to love, guide, protect and provide for us. What commitment are we prepared to make?
A Good Confession
Series: Nehemiah: Principles for Life
Preacher: Clive Jennings
Date: 11th July 2021
Passage: Nehemiah 9:1-28
In our reading today, the wall has been completed yet the people realise that they could so easily slip back into their old ways as so they confess not only their own sins but acknowledge the rebellion of those who came before them and through their act of confession they found a whole new freedom to worship and praise God afresh.
Today we explore what a good confession can bring to our lives and discipleship and like Nehemiah’s people, how a good confession can bring new life and freedom.

Date: 20th June 2021

Principles of Leadership and Work
Series: Nehemiah: Principles for Life
Preacher: Clive Jennings
Date: 13th June 2021
Passages:
- Nehemiah 3:1-12
- Nehemiah 2:11-18
The third in our series looking at Nehemiah. This week we explore how Nehemiah led by God, motivated a diverse range of people with little or no skills in construction, to rebuild the walls of Jerusalem.
We think today of area’s in our Church life, society and community that need rebuilding after the devastation of the last 15 months and we ask the Holy Spirit to come and gather us as one to enable that rebuilding and gathering to take place for those we are called to serve.
If God has laid on your heart to rebuild your life and discipleship in order to serve others, then Nehemiah’s message may give you the encouragement you need.
Principles of Prayer
Series: Nehemiah: Principles for Life
Preacher: Mike Hill
Date: 6th June 2021
Passage: Nehemiah 1:4-2:10
Nehemiah was clearly a man of passion. He had a clear purpose and he had a plan. He understood however that all these things, good as they are, will go nowhere unless they are earthed in prayer. Nehemiah was one layman whose effort laid the foundations of Judaism today. What can one person achieve?

Series: Nehemiah: Principles for Life
Preacher: Clive Jennings
Date: 30th May 2021
Passage: Nehemiah 1:1-11
We enter our new series on Nehemiah.
In our introduction today we see the mammoth task that God called him into, to not only rebuild the walls of Jerusalem but also turn back to God the demoralised and Spiritual lives of the residents.
As we commence our series I pray that you will make the connections of a city in 445BC and our present situation after 15 months of restrictions. I pray that we meet the challenges of today as Nehemiah and his community did all those years ago.
