God’s Faithfulness
In the last talk of our Rooted and Ready series, we look at the unchanging faithfulness of God, even in life's hardest moments. Michael Adegbite shares real stories about holding on to faith when facing rejection, hardship, and loss. We see how rooted trust in Jesus shapes our lives and brings comfort, no matter what we face. Michael's words help us to see that God's commitment always remains untouched by our problems or doubts.
Healthy Church Life
Join us as one of our congregation members Ellen Haggan talks about what healthy church life looks like, drawing from 1 Thessalonians 5:12-22. We dig into Paul's advice on supporting church leaders, loving our church family, and keeping a personal posture of prayer, joy, and thankfulness, even when life is tough. Ellen shares honest stories, practical ideas, and real challenges we face together as a community.
Living Ready
Discover what it means to live as children of the light with Tim Browne as he unpacks 1 Thessalonians 5:1-11. We take a close look at Paul’s message about being awake, alert, and ready for the return of Jesus. Tim shares his personal journey through fear and anxiety and shows how the Bible speaks to our real struggles with darkness. We learn that our faith, love, and hope can help us stand firm, even in tough times.
Death
In this sermon Tim considers the reality of death, the certainty of Christ’s return, and the hope of resurrection that transforms how we live today. We see that while death is an enemy we all face, it is not the end for those in Christ. Paul’s words remind us that Jesus died and rose again, and so will all who belong to Him, leading to a joyful reunion and eternal life in His presence. This hope allows us to grieve honestly yet with confidence, encouraging one another until the day He comes again.
Work
This Sunday Pete from City Church Bristol continues our sermon series in 1 Thessalonians 4 where it talks about the importance of our earthly work. Pete unpacks how our jobs and the activities in our wider life are a God given gift and that work is part of the life that He has planned for us, even in eternity!
Living to Please God
Tim speaks from Thessalonians 4 on how God calls us to live our whole lives in a way that is pure and honouring to him, including not just our work and social lives but even our private thoughts and actions.
The Joy of Spiritual Family
Tim reminds us of the joy it is to have each other as brothers and sisters in Christ as we continue in our Rooted and Ready series. More than just being a 'holy huddle' that merely encourages each other on, Tim urges us to be like the church in Thessalonica - being sanctified and prepared for life in heaven together.
Living Lives of Invitation
Dan Jeffery shares four ways we can live our lives in a way that welcomes people to the revelation of Jesus as we continue our Rooted and Ready series in 1 Thessalonians - being prepared to be inconvenienced, ensuring our lives are blameless and holy, championing one another, and giving thanks for every gift from God, no matter how small.
Authentic Living
Tim continues our Rooted and Ready series by asking us whether the way we act and behave points people to Jesus. Tune in as we hear how Paul modelled authentic faith to the church in Thessalonica and see how we too can live as people centred around Jesus.
What is a Christian?
What is a Christian?? Rob answers this question as he continues our series in 1 Thessalonians. More than just a person who goes to church or reads the Bible, we'll see that a Christian is someone who is rooted in the gospel and can stand strong when the storms of life approach.
Faith, Hope and Love
Tim kicks off our new sermon series in 1 Thessalonians where we will look at the glowing example of the church in Thessalonica to learn how we too can stay rooted in God's love.
