30th Oct 2022 - All Saints Sunday

It is Saints Day on Tuesday - what is that about?  When the New Testament refers to saints it means Christians.  The portion of the Letter to the Ephesians speaks of the HIP we have as God's people: Hope, Inheritance and Power.

In today's service:
  • Peter and Helen are presented with their Lay Licences from the Bishop
  • Peter draws our attention to three followers of Paul and their different responses and the outcomes of those choices.  Demas, Luke and Mark illustrate possible courses for a disciple with the consequences and values write large.  Here is encouragement to be steady or to come back after failure along with a warning of what to avoid.   
  • East Africa is suffering the consequences of drought with limited food supplies - what response might we make to ease the lack for those we are connected with in Kondoa?

Testimony of being Cleansed, Healed and Saved

9/10/2022

In the readings, two men hundreds of years apart are cleansed of leprosy, healed and come into relationship with God.  We see the importance of testimony, of giving thanks and glory to God, of encouraging others to believe that God can heal them and use them to heal others.

Faith and Hearing God

2/10/2022

The Bible tells us that "faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of Christ."  In today's service, Ian looks at the nature of faith and a way which may help us to hear God.
In summary it is: 1. Quieten yourself; 2. Look for vision; 3. Hear God as a spontaneous flow of thoughts; 4. Record this in a journal.
