30 August 2026 - Starting With God: Something Solid
We all know that there is a difference between learning about something in an abstract manner and experiencing it first hand. Having a stuffed animal doesn't prepare you fully for meeting one of those animals in real life. Chris takes that metaphor and applies it to God. We can learn all we like about him but until we truly have an experience of Jesus we can't possibly begin to understand what he is really like.
23 August 2026 - Starting With God: Describing the Indescribable
The true wonder of the Kingdom of God is something that is impossible for us to understand. In the next in our Starting with God series Chris looks at how the the Bible uses metaphors and similies, models that we do understand, to give us a glimpse at the indescribable.
16 August 2026 - Starting With God: A Rose by any Other Name
Names are important. They can convey so much more meaning than simply what the word literally means. So what can we learn from God's name revealed to Moses: I Am Who I Am? Chris speaks on how through speaking His name God reveals part of his nature to us.
26 July 2026 - Starting With God: Reliable Data
We've spent the last weeks in our Starting With God series looking at how having an intimate relationship with God is of ultimate importance in our lives. But in 1 Corinthians Paul says that striving for that relationship is futile if we don't have evidence to back up our convictions. Chris looks at the "reliable data" that Paul provides to show that what we believe is actually true.
19 July 2026 - Starting With God: A Lamp to My Feet
In Psalm 119 the psalmist says that God's word is a lamp to their feet and a light to their path. In the next in our Starting with God series Chris looks at how the word of God is essential to our journey, guiding our way through the darkness of life and illuminating the true path to Jesus.
12 July 2026 - Alan & Megan Barker
This week we were privileged to be joined once again by Alan & Megan Barker, our BMS link missionaries who we support in their work in Nepal. They both share with us the latest updates on their work in that country and bring us the message for this week about what our calling is with God. Lorraine makes her debut leading the rest of our service whilst Nick leads our sung worship.
05 July 2026 - Starting With God: Through the Looking Glass
We continue our series on Starting With God with Chris this week expanding on one of the topics from last week: that at the moment we can only see the glory of God like a reflection in a mirror. There is a danger that the mirror becomes so dirty and clouded that we only see our own reflection, that we take the atheist philosophy that God is simply a reflection of our own desires. Jesus turns that thought on its head, the God beyond knowing chose to make himself known and dwells among us. We only have to choose to accept him.
28 June 2026 - Starting With God: Born Again
Throughout the New Testament it is stated that we should be born again in Christ. Continuing our Starting with God series, Chris speaks on how this is not a literal re-birth but a spiritual one. Putting to death our old sinful selves and instead living our lives moulded and guided by Jesus.
21 June 2026 - Starting With God: Heaven
The book of Revelation can be an incredibly difficult book to understand, however in the concluding chapters of John's vision it gives us a picture of God's ultimate plan: a new heaven and a new earth, free from death and suffering. Until then we will endure trials, grief and harship on this current earth. In an incredibly poignant sermon reflecting the season we are currently walking through as a church family Chris reminds us that we do this knowing that God does not abandon us to live life alone, he stands with us and experiences our all of our pain and sadness alongside us.
07 June 2026 - Starting With God: Holiness
Chris continues his series in Starting With God by this week looking at God's holiness. There are some passages in the Bible that can be very difficult to understand, some that we may even choose to ignore or turn a blind eye to. But we should not be turning away from the things that we "don't like". God defines holiness, even if we don't understand why things happen, we need to trust that his plan is perfect and put our hope in Jesus who intimately reveal's God's character to us.
