Preacher: Ian Hardcastle [Texts: Luke 1:26-38; 2 Samuel 7:1-11,16] The Annunciation. There are lessons to be learnt to encourage us in our faith and trust in God. Will join us as we explore this wonderful account? 
Preacher: Ian Hardcastle [Texts: Psalm 91; Proverbs 3:5-6; Philippians 4:4-7] Psalm 91 is a great psalm which promises the Lord’s care and protection. By these words, we are encouraged and given hope in trouble. It is written to direct our attention back to God in tough times – and we - suddenly, unexpectedly - are experiencing a global tough time.
Preacher: Ian Hardcastle [Texts: Matthew 11:2-11; Isaiah 35:1-10; James 5:7-10] It wasn't easy for John. He'd announced Jesus as the Messiah, but now he was in prison and was Jesus actually the One? Jesus said, "Blessed is the One who is not offended by me." We can be offended at God; we can grow hardened or bitter. How might we respond to difficulties in life so this does not happen?
Preacher: Ian Hardcastle [Isaiah 11:1-10; Romans 15:4-13; Matthew 3:1-12] Have you heard of the Jesse Tree? Based on Isaiah's prophecy of the Messiah we trace today how the Bible points us to the future return and reign of Jesus.
Preacher: Capt Peter Lloyd [Text: Matthew 24:36-44] As we enter Advent our attention is drawn to the Second Coming. What does Jesus teach about it here in Matthew?
Preacher: Helen Hardcastle [Texts: Luke 1:39-45; Hebrews 10:5-10] How do you choose a new house? God chose a simple Hebrew girl to be the mother of his Son. He looks for those in whose heart He can dwell today.
Preacher: Ian Hardcastle [Jeremiah 33:14-16; 1 Thessalonians 3:9-13; Luke 21:25-36] As we come into the Advent season, it is a time of preparation, of hoping, of looking forward - to Christmas, yes but also beyond that to the time when Jesus comes again.
Luke 1:26-38Preacher: Peter Lloyd []
Mary's example of courage in the face of a great calling with a huge cost is a challenge to us in our discipleship. Preacher: Ian Hardcastle [Texts: Mark 1:1-8; Isaiah 40:1-11] Comparing John the Baptist's mission with what was prophesied about it gives us a broader picture of what he did and perhaps also of Jesus.
Preacher: Tony Jee [Texts: Isaiah 7:10-16; Romans 1:1-17; Matthew 1:18-25]
Who will you be like - Ahaz or Joseph? Preacher: Capt. Peter Lloyd [Texts: Isaiah 35; James 5:7-10 ; Matthew 11:2-11]
Twin themes (Joy and Judgement) - how can we hold those together? Peter leads us through this Advent tension. Preacher: Ian Hardcastle [Texts: Romans 15: 4-13; Isaiah 11:1-10; Matthew 3:1-12] The Word for you today is 'Hope.' Christ is our Hope - Ian explores our Advent Hope in Christ.
 Preacher: Ian Hardcastle [Texts: Isaiah 2:1-5; Romans 13:11-14; Matthew 24:36-44] Jesus makes it very clear that no one will know the time when he is to return, but Paul makes the point that while we don't know the time of His coming, Now is the time to wake up and be ready!
