The First Sunday – Devotional Communion

Leviticus 16:20-22

Leader: Simon Downing

This evening we will be holding our monthly Devotional Communion around the Communion table. Our text for this service is Leviticus 16:20-22 which describes how the sins of the people were placed on the head of the scapegoat. This was an annual event that took place on the Day of Atonement. This evening as we come around the Communion Table, we remember that Jesus gave His own life and shed His own blood as an all-time sacrifice for our sins. Please join us if you are able.

The First Sunday – Family service

The wise man and the foolish man

Matthew 7:24-29

Speaker: Simon Downing

Today is our monthly family service where we hope to see lots of young people and families joining us. In today’s talk Simon will be reminding us that “wise” people build their life on the rock of Jesus. There is no firmer foundation. To build on the rock means to be a hearing, responding disciple, not a superficial one who talks the talk but doesn’t walk the walk. The story of the wise man and the foolish man is a Sunday school favourite but it also contains an important message for all of us. Most people do not intentionally build on a false foundation, instead they just don’t think about their life’s purpose. Part of our responsibility as believers is to help others stop and think about where their lives are heading and to highlight the consequences of ignoring Jesus’ words.

“You are mine”

Isaiah 43:1-7

Speaker: Derek Robinson

This morning Simon will be taking a well-earned from preaching and so Derek will be sharing God’s word with us. Over the past two weeks, Simon has reminded us of our need to reawaken our awe of God and be more aware of His presence in our lives. This more will be listening to our truly awesome God as He speaks to us through the prophet Isaiah. In today’s passage, God reminds us of His purpose in creating mankind. We were made by God and for God. We were made to bring glory to Him. God’s reminds us that, “He formed us, He created us, He redeemed us and He called us by name”. His words resonate in our hearts as He says to us, “You are mine!” Please don’t miss this message.

The third Sunday series – Prayer and Presence

His presence among the people

Exodus 33:7-23

Speaker: Clive Bennett

“This Sunday Evening is a Prayer & Presence evening where we can focus on our relationship with the Lord Jesus. The passage we are considering is Exodus 33:7-23 and we will be considering what lessons we can learn from how Moses prayed in the presence of Almighty God and taking time ourselves to follow his example.” Clive.

 

Rediscovering the awe of God Part 2

Revelation 4

Speaker: Simon Downing

Today Simon will be bringing us the second message on this short series, entitled, “Rediscovering the awe of God Part 2.” In today’s reading from Revelation Chapter 4, we are given a glimpse in Christ’s glory. We are taken through john’s vision into the very throne of heaven. God is on the throne and is orchestrating all of the events that John will record. Contrary to what you may sometimes feel, the world is not spinning out of control: The God of creation will carry out his plans as Christ initiates the final battle with the forces of evil. John shows us heaven before showing us earth so that we can focus on God’s greatness. As we read John’s words, we are compelled to bow down in awe of Him. He gives us the strength to stay strong and not be frightened of future events.

The second Sunday series – Inspirational words

You are mine

Isaiah 43:1-7

Speaker: Derek Robinson

This Sunday evening is our monthly slot for an Inspirational Word from the Scriptures. Tonight, we will be listening to God speak to us through the prophet Isaiah as God reminds us of His purpose in creating mankind. We were made by God and for God. We were made to bring glory to Him. God’s reminds us that, “He formed us, He created us, He redeemed us and He called us by name”. His words resonate in our hearts as He says to us, “You are mine!” Please don’t miss this message.

Rediscovering the awe of God

Ezekiel 1

Speaker: Simon Downing

Today Simon will be bringing us a message based on Ezekiel’s vision that revealed God’s absolute moral perfection to the Israelites who were then captives in Babylon. God made it clear that He was spiritually and morally superior to their corrupt and compromising society. Consequently, because God is morally perfect, He can help us to stand firm and live our lives in a way that honours Him rather than compromising with the world’s values. When we focus on His greatness, when we stand in awe of Him, He gives us the strength to overcome sin and to reflect His holiness.
