In this series finale, Chris looks at Nehemiah chapter 13, perhaps one of the most depressing chapters of the bible. Here Nehemiah, has returned to Jerusalem to see how the people of God are getting on. Incredibly, much that he had established they've given up on. Just like Nehemiah, Jesus will return also, and this chapter is a great reminder for us to keep trusting in God always.

In the book of Nehemiah we find the city of David, Jerusalem, in ruins. In lots of ways it was due to failings over many years, of the people of God, to trust, follow and serve Him. Even after God continually draws them back to him; is patient, slow to anger and abounding in love, they persist in their sin and find themselves and their city in ruins. But God is about a great work of restoration, in their lives and in our lives today.

Simon preached through Nehemiah chapters 11 and 12 looking at the cost of building with God. Simon showed us however that while there is a cost, there is also great encouragement to be found in the story we're apart of, the great future inheritance and in our leader Jesus, the greater Nehemiah.

Simon and Eliz Argent lead Ascot Life Church, a brilliant church in the Commission Family. Simon runs the internship programme for Commission and also co-leads the hub of 8 churches with Chris Kimbangi.

The walls are completed in a record time of 52 days, but thats far from the end of the story. Nehemiah knows that the walls were never an end in themselves. He longed for the day when the city would be full of people praising God. The city needs its citizens, because people matter.

This week Malcolm continues our series on Nehemiah, after a few weeks break. In this chapter, Nehemiah faces many challenges, but continually prays to God for help. Malcom encourages us to do the same thing, and not be distracted away from God or deceived. We can do this by standing firm, knowing our priorities and calling, knowing our identity in Christ, being patient and discerning and praying in faith.

This Easter the children took over the service...Narnia style. The book Narnia by C.S. Lewis, helps to explain the story of Easter and Jesus' sacrifice for us all. Lucy did two short talks to draw together the main ideas that we were talking about in the service (Jesus dying on the cross for us and rising again, so that our sins are forgiven and we can have eternal life with God!).
