ABRAHAM: A Detour of Fear | Tim Dobson

September 14, 2026

Over September and October we’re looking at the story of Abraham. One person, chosen by God, who He asks to put faith in Him and be obedient to Him. We will journey with Abraham in his faith and his fear, his obedience and his failure. But what we’ll see most clearly is a God who is faithful through it all.

Abram left his home after being called by God. The excitement and anticipation of God’s promised blessing must have created a spiritual high for Abram. But then reality set in as famine hit the land. How did Abram respond when faced with the challenges of life? (Spoiler alert - not so well!) But how does God respond to Abram’s lack of faith and fear-filled actions? What can we learn about how God sees our fears and failures?

THE JESUS YOU NEED TO KNOW | The Light of the World

February 18, 2024

Between January and March this year, we’re spending our Sunday services spending time looking at the book of John.

As John himself says:

Using John chapter 8, Tim Dobson looks at what it means to call Jesus the Light of the World.

Made Well: Healing

May 30, 2021

Do I need church and does church need me?

October 4, 2020

The COVID-19 pandemic has led to huge changes in the way most of us live our lives. Many previously secure jobs now look uncertain, and even a regular food shop can bring its own challenges. Entire industries have been altered and millions of people have been furloughed or face being made unemployed.

In such an uncertain time, where does faith fit in?
How relevant is church in a socially distancing world?

Tim Dobson joins us to help us to discover what the Bible says about God's heart for His church, and our place in it.

Life Interrupted: Forgiveness

August 30, 2020

The closing chapters of Genesis contain moving stories of forgiveness.
