Down To Earth – The Unlikely Place

Some signs warn you about what is round the corner. Others tell you that you have arrived at your destination. Others tell you where you need to go next.

Signs are there to be paid attention to. Today we will look at one of the signs that got everyone’s attention.

Down To Earth – The Unchanging Christmas

You know the song: I wish it could be Christmas everyday. What would it look like if it was? How do we live the Christmas message for the 11 other months of the year?

Down To Earth – The Unlikely Invitation

Have you ever been to a party and been surprised at who else has been invited? Maybe you were surprised that it was you that was invited!

The first Christmas stories are full of people that were the last people that you would have expected, but that gives hope to all of us!

Down To Earth – The Unexpected Rescue

The headline was ‘Jesus scores’. It still takes me by surprise when I see news about the Arsenal player named Jesus.

But it reminds us that there was a time when Jesus was an everyday name, that had an out of the world meaning. His mission was in plain sight – every time he introduced himself to others.

Down To Earth – The Unusual King

Amongst all the tinsel and turkey, Christmas is about celebrating a down-to-earth God who came with a down-to-earth purpose that he wraps us up in. It might not feel very exciting sometimes, but it is absolutely life-transforming.

Peering Confidently – 4th of January 2026

The start of a new year reminds us that we can’t control what will happen this year. But we can trust the promises that God makes. And that allows us to enter 2026 confidently.

The World Needs Us

There’s no place for competition or comparison. We need one another so that we can all be built up to become the beautiful churches that the world needs.

Cleansed, Changed, Connected – The Meaning Of Baptism

Four people recently made public commitments to their faith in Jesus as their Lord and Saviour! Watch and listen back as we explored the meaning of baptism, and as we celebrated the commitments made by those who were baptised.

We Need Everyone: Teachers

Teachers help us see how everything connects. They open our eyes to see things differently. They point out what has always been there – but which we had never noticed.

We Need Everyone: Pastors

‘Pastor’ has become a title rather than the function, a shepherd, that it was originally. The church needs shepherds as much as it has ever done. People who will make sure that everyone is cared for.
