The Greatest Gift?
We all love giving and receiving gifts at Christmas. The Magi brought baby Jesus treasures, bowed down and worshipped him.
What will you bring to Jesus this Christmas?
Peter Hatton looks at the visit from the Magi, and what their unexpected appearance in the Christmas story means to us today.
Matthew 1:18-25
Continuing our series, Robyn Coleman looks at how Joseph reacted to, and trusted God with, being told that his soon-to-be-wife would become pregnant.
It must have taken real courage for Joseph to have looked beyond the logical conclusion that his fiancee had been unfaithful,and to trust that God was at work in a very deep way.
How can we have courage to trust that God is at work in situations that seem less than ideal?
Matthew 1:1 - 1:17
At first glance, Matthew’s genealogy just looks like a bunch of names. Look more closely and you’ll see a long line of men and women who waited to see the faithful God fulfil his promises.
So how do we wait faithfully for God? Tim Dobson investigates!
Sam Marsh continues our look at racial justice.
Continuing our Pressing Issues mini-series, Tom Carter looks at why racial justice matters to God.
PRESSING ISSUES - Climate Change
In our ‘First Sunday’ service this month, Deborah Marsh (with a bit of help from Annie and Jimmy!) looks at climate change and what it means to us as Christians.
Ed Marsh concludes our ‘Who Are We?’ series by looking at 1 Corinthians 3, v1 - 23.
Dave Mitchell continues our ‘Who Are We?’ series by looking at difference between the wisdom of God and the wisdom of the world.

We are saved (1 Cor 1:17-2:5)
Paul talks of the cross being seen by some as foolishness and a stumbling block.
How do we see this in our society today?
In our ‘First Sunday’ service this month, Jo Sinton-Hewitt looks at the parable of the farmer and his seeds.
2 Samuel 12 (& Psalm 51)
David certainly had stuff to repent of. For someone described as a man after God’s own heart, it is alarming to read about his adultery and subsequent murder to cover his tracks.
His psalm of repentance in Psalm 51 however is one of the great milestones of the Bible in helping us return to God.
What can we learn from David’s attitude and actions?
How can we ‘guard our hearts’?
During her talk, Deborah mentions the Alpha course. You can find out more about this free course HERE.
2 Samuel 6:12-23 (& Psalm 63, Psalm 145)
Is worship something we do only when we’re feeling happy, or when life if good?
Is it possible to worship when things are challenging?
Ed Marsh looks at what worship meant to David at different times of his life, and asks how we can apply this to our lives today.
1 Samuel 20 (& Psalm 55)
Rob Scott-Cook looks at what the Bible says about true friendship, and what it means to us today.
David & Goliath
Rachel Noyce explores the story of David and Goliath, and asks how it’s relevant to us today.
God’s masterpiece
In the final talk of our Together series, Sam Marsh looks at Ephesians chapter 2 and asks what it means to be God’s masterpiece.
The Bible refers to the church as The Bride of Christ. In this talk, Dave Mitchell asks:
How can we prepare ourselves for the wedding?
Are we living in ways which are holy and pure?
How can we support and encourage one other in this aim?
Paul makes it clear that we all have a part to play in the body of Christ, and that without everyone doing their bit we all miss out!
Lara Morris continues our series by asking what part of the body are we being called to be in this new season?
Jamie Davies continues our ‘Together’ series, using Ephesians chapter 2 to look at the importance of worshipping God together.
