A Better Way – When you don’t like who you’re becoming

Do you ever feel like Christianity isn’t working? Maybe you’re burned out by the busyness of life, or you’re discouraged that prayers don’t seem to work. You’re doing the right things but everything keeps going wrong? Jesus offers us a better way. In this sermon we look at John 14: 1-6 and Matthew 11.28-30.

Everything is Possible

Jon kicks off our new year with a new motto verse from Matthew 19.26 – Everything is possible with God. Nowhere is this more apparent than in 2 Samuel 23.20 where Benaiah chases a lion into a pit on a snowy day.

God is here

Jon looks at the beginning of John’s Gospel, exploring what the Christmas message means for us all

God is here- Hope in the wilderness

There was no video recorded for our nativity, but David has put together notes and questions based on his talk- just download the pdf

God is here – Hope in the valley

Zachariah’s valley was a life of disappointment not being able to have a child and then God shows up. Cathy talks through Psalm 84 which speaks of the Valley of Baka – a place of sadness and desolation – representative of the valleys in our lives. But God is here with us, and we can have hope.

Don’t Worry – There is Good News!

In the final part of this Don’t Worry mini-series, Jon looks at Psalm 46. In the context of a terrifying attack from the Assyrian army, God tells His people that He is their refuge and ever present help (v1) and to be still (v10). Our God is exactly what you need, when you need Him. He is big enough to oversee the whole world, and he’s loving enough to care about you.

Don’t Worry – Out of the Cave

Part 2 of our Don’t Worry series. This week, Jon explores the battle against depression, anxiety and worry using Elijah in 1 Kings 19 as an example to us.
It’s okay to not be okay. But don’t settle for a lifetime of ‘not okay’. God is calling you out of your cave.

Don’t Worry – Can You Trust God?

In this brand new Message Series we look at how not to worry when there’s so much to worry about. In this first of 3 messages, Jon explores Luke 5.1-11 and asks the question Can we trust God?

God loves CREATION

We finish our series on “God Loves” looking at creation and how we look after it with a talk from Pete Grieg

God loves REST

God loves Rest! He rested after creation (Genesis 2.1-3), He commands us to rest (Exodus 20.8-11) and He made rest for us (Mark 2.23-28). When we feel the burden of life we can still find rest (Matthew 11:28-29), when we feel overwhelmed, Jehovah Jireh, God is enough.
