Significance in life and hope for the future

Second Nature: Prayer

Many of us acknowledge the importance of prayer to Christian faith, but how much of a priority do we give it in our day to day lives? This talk was given at the beginning of Prayer Week 2019 at Highgrove Church, and is intended to both encourage and to challenge us to make prayer a priority.

Thanksgiving Service

Thanksgiving Service

How do you reconcile belief in a good God with serious disease or illness?

Diagnosed with leukaemia (ALL) when he was 6 years old, John Clarke finished his three and a half years of chemotherapy treatment in November 2018. We were delighted to hold a special Thanksgiving Service to celebrate the end of his treatment. This video features some words from John and his sister, the talk given at the service by Ed Marsh and an interview with John's parents, Mike and Naomi.

If you are struggling to reconcile your Christian faith with illness, disease or a challenging time, this video will encourage you. Filled with the sort of practical advice that only comes from "going through the storm", this video reminds us that God is kind and that He can be trusted through even the very hardest of times.
