Stronger Together – Our new sermon series

Our sermon series during March and April will explore the ways that women and men can be stronger together, rather than suspicious of one another, or sidelined in power plays. It will have implications for our life together in church, the type of marriages we have and the way we act in the workplace.

Don’t Lose Heart

is happening internationally, and vital when a local church comes face to face with a tragic death. It’s a permanent challenge.

But the apostle Paul went ahead of us on days like these. He helps us keep our eyes fixed on the only true things – the things that are unseen.

And when we cannot tune in

There are times when we just can’t hear, and it may be that we are sure God is silent.

What do we do in these situations?

Tune in to Circumstances

Paul and his companions were stuck because of circumstances and they changed their plans because of that and a vision.

How do we know how to make sense of the circumstances we find ourselves in?

When should we press on regardless of roadblocks and when should we take stock?

Neil’s Reflections: You Are What You Say

We lose integrity when we make decisions thinking no one is looking and that no one will find out. We think we will get away with things that if others knew, they would be shocked.

Tune in to the Unexpected

Angels, visions, unexpected meetings, dramatic turns. If angels only turned up once in the Bible it would be easy to overlook them. But they are everywhere!

How do we make sense of that today in a society that sees itself as far too sophisticated to believe this?

Tune in to the Skies

The psalmist believed that observing nature was a way of hearing the Lord who is speaking every day to any who have eyes to see. How do we see clearly so that we can hear well?

Tune in to God

The promise of Jesus was that God would speak to his people because we are his friends. We would increasingly grow to recognise his voice.

Of course, the challenge is: do we want to hear? Are we prepared to listen? Are we ready to respond if we do hear his voice?
