Teaching.
We believe that the Bible is our authoritative guide in all matters of faith and practice. We therefore place great importance on regular teaching from the scriptures.
Next series: 2 Corinthians.
April - August 2021
This summer we’re preaching through (almost) the first four chapter of 2 Corinthians. A bit like Philippians did, 2 Corinthians will help us to see (and imitate!) the kind of mindsets Paul and Timothy had in the midst of considerable challenges. We won’t face identical challenges to them, but there’s much we can learn from them! And the letter gives us rich stuff about God and His ways for us to get our teeth into.
Each week we’ll be thinking about the same verses in the online service as in the in-person service, but don’t worry if you’re attending both: you will hear different sermons at the two services.
There are various ways for us to engage with this part of Scripture together in addition to the sermons: use the booklet (in your devotional time? Or while the kettle boils? Or ...?); and/or join a City Group discussing it; and/or simply ask each other over a walk, meal, or text message: “What has God been saying to you through 2 Corinthians?”

Previous series: Stories from the Storm.
January - March 2021
This series worked through a series of biblical "Stories from the Storm": Hagar, Joseph, Rahab and many more. All these people experienced stormy circumstances and yet they all experienced God's amazing grace and kindness. They are not the heroes of their beautiful stories: God is.
Available resources:

Sermons (10-15 minutes),

InConvo – a weekly podcast episode, in which the preacher joined with a couple of other people to chat further about the week's focus.

Below are:
-
sermons for this series (recordings of the live sermon from the online service on Sunday mornings)

InConvo: a series of podcast episodes where the preachers take a longer, chatty look at the week's theme
