FIND-LOVE-FOLLOW-SERVE: Follow

Jesus called his disciples to ‘Follow me.’ At Highgrove Church, we want people to FOLLOW Jesus more closely. What role does the church family have in helping us draw closer to God?

FIND-LOVE-FOLLOW-SERVE: Love

FIND-LOVE-FOLLOW-SERVE: Love

We aim to help people to LOVE one another more. The second greatest commandment is to love our neighbour.

What opportunities do we have to practice this as a church community? How do we do it in our daily lives?

The last few months have been unprecedented and it can seem like everything has changed. However, our purpose as the people of God remains the same.

In our new series, Find-Love-Follow-Serve, we’ll be looking at what the vision of Highgrove is and how it impacts our every day lives.

We long to help people to FIND Jesus - through mission and evangelism. In this first talk of the series, Sam Marsh asks how we can do that, both as a church and as individuals?

Do I need church and does church need me?

Do I need church and does church need me?

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

Life Interrupted: Forgiveness

Joseph - life interrupted (1).png

The closing chapters of Genesis contain moving stories of forgiveness.

We all struggle with forgiveness at some point in our lives, but holding on to anger, resentment and thoughts of revenge only cause suffering. When we do this, we become both the prisoner and the jailer.

How can we forgive, just as God has forgiven us?

Life Interrupted: God’s Purpose

Life Interrupted: God’s Purpose

What is our purpose and how do we live lives of purpose for God even when things don’t go the way we think they should?

Joseph experienced the powerful truth of Romans 8v28. In 45:5 Joseph recognises "because it was to save lives that God sent me ahead of you” and then in verses 8 ‘So then, it was not you who sent me here, but God’.

Life Interrupted:  Living with Integrity

Life Interrupted: Living with Integrity

It has been said that the true test of our character is what we do when no-one is watching. Jospeh learned to trust God when his treatment was unjust, and had opportunities to serve God in low positions as well as high ones. What does it look like for us to live lives on integrity and trust both in private and in public?

Life Interrupted:  Dealing with Disappointment

Life Interrupted: Dealing with Disappointment

Joseph - life interrupted (1).png

We all suffer disappointments in our life.

Some are small and unimportant. Some are huge. People let us down. Stuff disappoints and fails us.

Even God doesn’t do what we think he’s supposed to do, in the way we think he should do it.

So how should we deal with disappointment?

Life Interrupted: Derailed Dreams

Life Interrupted: Derailed Dreams

The story of Joseph and his brothers is one of jealousy, bitterness and betrayal.

When our dreams are derailed, how do we continue to trust God and keep emotionally and spiritually healthy?

Life Interrupted: Happy Families

Life Interrupted: Happy Families

Joseph’s story is the longest in Genesis. Joseph’s family relationships can at best be described as… complicated.

How can we see family as God’s gift to us, just as we are to them?

Sam Marsh kicks off our new series.
