Visiting speaker Jonny Herring continues our series in Colossians with Paul’s call to continue in our daily relationship with Jesus, rooted, built up and established in him.

View Details

Visiting speaker Greg Cruse reminds us from Matthew 14 that not only is Jesus all that we need in life’s great storms, but it’s also in the crucible of those storms that our Saviour most fully reveals himself to us.

View Details

Is it possible for a Christian to truly miss out in life? Is Jesus really all we need for a full and authentic Christian walk? With the help of the Apostle Paul, we explore the wondrous mystery of ‘Christ in you, the hope of glory’ and why it means we have not, are not, and will not ever miss out again.

Pete Greasley from Christchurch Newport speaks on the subject of shame, the ways it invades our lives, and the ultimate solution to our shame: Jesus!

View Details

The gospel promises not only to reconcile us to God the moment we believe, but also to take us all the way home to be with him. But what does it look like to continue in the faith, trusting in the gospel day by day on the way?

In this next message in our series in Paul’s letter to the Colossians, we find the answer lies in three simple phrases: stable, steadfast, and not shifting.

View Details

What is reconciliation? Is it anything to write home about and how significant is it that the Christian has been personally reconciled to God?

In this next sermon in our series in Colossians, we explore Paul’s own description of the astonishing greatness of our reconciliation in Christ.

View Details

Life can feel like a rollercoaster ride: up and down. One minute we can be on top of the world, and the next we can be in the valleys of despair. This is especially true when we struggle with our mental health.

Every one of us battles with our mental health. Some of us more than others, to be sure, but we all battle. Struggling with mental health doesn't mean you are abnormal. It doesn't mean that you are a sub-standard Christian. It should not be a source of shame or be kept hidden. The Church should be a place of safety and community, where those who are struggling can be honest, ask people to rally around them in prayer, and be assisted in seeking help.

In this Saturday morning seminar for ladies, Helen Thorne (Director of Training and Resources for Biblical Counselling UK), will seek to bring the truth and wisdom of Scripture to bear on this topic; giving insight on how we should view and respond to those who are battling with their own minds. She will unpack how the gospel gives us hope by being honest about who we are: sinners with fallen hearts, and sufferers in a fallen world; and how Christ has come to renew our hearts and redeem our suffering.

In the fifth part of our series in Colossians, we look at Christ’s supreme sufficiency in his church and the wisdom and beauty of seeking all we need as a church in him.

View Details

In the busyness and complexity of life, it’s easy to think we might need something more than Christ alone to get us through. But as this next message in our series on Colossians explains, what we need is not something in addition to Christ but a clearer picture of the real Christ and his absolute supreme sufficiency for every aspect of our lives in this present world.

View Details

What reason do we have for thanksgiving in the Christian life? According to Paul’s prayer for the Colossians, much in every way! Here Paul lays out three rich reasons for thanksgiving, whatever situation or circumstance we find ourselves in.

View Details

What should our expectations be for the Christian life? According to the Apostle Paul, it should be characterised by righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit - it should be characterised by gladness. This sermon explores the journey from guilt to gladness that is ours when we fix our eyes on Christ and the cross.

This is the final message in our ‘One Verse Wonders’ series.

View Details

We all wrestle with a multitude of fears in life. But no fear is perhaps more universal, more unshakeable, and more paralysing than the fear of death. So how can we fight it? Is there any hope of ever overcoming it? There is through Jesus!

And the words of Jesus in John 10:28 powerfully address this chief of all fears with the sure and certain promises of eternal life and eternal security for all who believe and follow him.

View Details

To be a follower of Christ is to follow in the ways of Christ, both in terms of our character and our service. But how do we do Christ’s work, in Christ’s power, in Christ’s way?

This sermon seeks to answer this most important question by exploring Jesus’ final words to his disciples before his ascension in Acts 1:8.

View Details

As people who follow a compassionate and tenderhearted Saviour, what kind of people ought we to be, and what sort of culture should we be cultivating in the church?

This sermon explores three vitally important character traits from Paul’s exhortation to the church in Ephesians 4:32.

View Details

Jesus invites sinners to come to him, but with what kind of heart for them does he invite them to come? How does he feel about bruised, weary and faint-hearted people? This sermon explores the tender kindness with which Christ treats all who turn to him for mercy, grace and help.

View Details

Following Jesus is difficult. The Bible teaches it and our experience in life confirms it. When the going gets tough, Jesus gives us some great and precious promises to cling to. This sermon, from John 16:33, explores the some of last words of Jesus to his disciples before his death - words of comfort, encourgament and hope. Part of our "One Verse Wonders" series.

Does God love me? Really?? How can I know for sure? This sermon from Romans 5:8 explores the proof of God's love to us in Jesus Christ. Part of our "One Verse Wonders" series.
