We have reached chapter 8 in the whirlwind story of Acts and, accelerated by the death of the first Christian martyr, Stephen, the message of Jesus as the risen Lord of all has started to break new ground.
Often life can be like that can’t it? Unexpected and painful situations can often be our greatest means of growth.…
This episode of our podcast series led by the young people in our church features Lauren, Jay and Emily sharing their hopes, struggles and prayers, along with their favourite worship songs.
This week we have reflections from Neil, our latest news, some useful links/resources and an interview with Fallon.
Listen to her explain why she is known by two names, what life was like when she arrived in the UK from the Congo at the age of 7 and why she’s marched as part of the Black Lives Matter protests.
The religious folks resisted what was happening, and charge Stephen with going against the temple and the law. Stephen re-tells their own history to them, showing that God has always operated outside of the temple, Jerusalem and Israel. God was with his people, and at work, in all the difficult places.
God is in the business of doing new things. We are on a journey with him. In difficult times, times of change, times of uncertainty, we follow Jesus.
Sometimes in order to pick up new things, we have to lay other things down.
Here are the songs I’ve picked to reflect some of the themes of this week’s sermon looking at the death of Stephen in Acts. I hope you find them helpful.

If the early church hadn’t solved this problem, they would never have been able to deal with the questions that would be raised when Gentiles accepted the gospel.
Here are the songs I’ve picked to reflect some of the themes of this week’s scripture from Acts chapter 6 and some of the ways this scripture speaks in to our current context. I hope you find them helpful.
