Theme: Knowing you, knowing me!

Welcome

Welcome to our weekend service where I will be tackling a challenging passage that involves the end times as revealed by Matthew in chapters 24 and 25 of his Gospel.. Although we didn’t plan this together, my talk today follows closely on from Derek’s talk in midweek where he asked, “How can you be sure of your salvation?” Perhaps God is trying to tell us something very specific at this difficult time. I also feel that God has given me a prophetic word directly related to the passage which I will be sharing with you. Although we still can’t worship together in person, I feel that God is talking very clearly to His church in these times about what is to come. We need to be prepared. Simon

Welcome

Welcome to our midweek service in the 25th week of COVID19 restrictions. When this started back in March, I don’t think any of us thought these restrictions would go on for so long. It is frustrating for all of us but we urge you to remain vigilant as the number of reported cases is beginning to rise again – even in our area. Of course, these restrictions have given us all an opportunity to show Christian love to our neighbours as we are now allowed to meet as two households. Please don’t waste this God given opportunity to draw closer to your neighbours and show the beauty of Christian love in action – perhaps over a cup of tea and a biscuit. Derek.

Worship time – Open the eyes of my heart Lord

Worship song: The heart of worship

Reading – 1 John 2:3-14

Finally, brothers and sisters, rejoice. Aim for restoration, comfort one another, agree with one another, live in peace; and the God of love and peace will be with you. Amen

Welcome

Welcome to our Sunday worship service as we reach the 4th and final episode in our mini-series “Hidden Heroes from the BIble”. Today we will be looking at Enoch, one of only two people who lived before the flood of whom it is said the he “Walked with God.” The other being his great grandson, Noah. We can learn much about our own walk with God through Enoch’s life especially as we continue in this period of semi-isolation from each other but never from God.
