This week, Pastor Andrew Gardener preaches on growing as a church and  how we can grow as Christians by serving others as Jesus taught us to.  From looking at Ephesians 4-11, we learn about forgiving those who  wronged us and confronting them in order to forge a loving peace rather  than turning to religious leaders to solve our quarrels.

Pastor John Langford discusses the meaning and significance of the word  Holy. He taps into the importance of the transformation that God can  provide for us whilst expressing the need for us to share the power of  the transformation to others so that they have the opportunity to  experience it as well. He references both the first book of Corinthians  as well as the book of Isaiah during the sermon.

This week Pastor Pete Godfrey preaches on the significance of Psalm 23.  From watching a sequence from Mr Bean’s Holiday and how he loses his  way, we discover that if we will choose to be God’s sheep and allow  Jesus to be our Shepard then we will have a Shepard who will guide us  along the right paths, for His names sake.

Jon Langford talks about grace and how its the gift from God and how he  reaches out for us even if we’re in a state of sin because of his  amazing grace and how grace is always there but you have to be willing  to take it because  grace is an undeserved love that is given so freely  and even we where distant from God, Jesus came and died for us. Paul  says “and God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the  heavenly realm in Jesus Christ”.

On the Baptisms of Evan, Ollie, Sam, Katie and Richard, Mike Cocklin  preaches on the importance of our baptisms and how they bring us into  our new lives in ministry to Jesus. He reminds us of the importance of  Repentance, and how we must leave the old world of evil behind us. He  uses Matthew 3: 13-15, Matthew 28: 18-20, Acts 2: 22-24, 36-38, 40-41,  Romans 6: 3-4, colossians  3: 1-5.

Upon returning from his sabbatical, Pastor Pete Godfrey preaches on our  habit of “filling every moment” with various tasks which may not be the  best for us and leave us feeling like there’s something missing. He  discourages us from this behaviour and encourages us to spend time with  God our shepherd in order to find true rest. He references Psalm 23 in  his sermon.

This week Pastor John Townley preaches on the value of Encouragement by  reading into the story of David and how he was faced with despair, yet  found strength in the Lord his God. We learn that despite the difficult  circumstances that we will inevitably face in life, we will always be  able to receive our courage and strength from the Holy Spirit who is  always alongside us.

Pastor Jon Langford preaches on living in submission to God and how as  Christians we should stand out from the public and be apart from the sin  of the world. He calls us to be not only be examples but be a solution  to the problems around us and references 1 Peter 2:11-25 throughout his  sermon.

Pastor Pat Herron from Northern Ireland preaches on the importance of  the heavenly father and she speaks out against an orphaned spirit. She  reminds us that our mission is not to strive and work for God’s approval  and that it is to live in the freedom God has given us to be his  children. She uses Matthew 3:13 – 4:11 in her sermon along with many  other bible references.

James Greene preaches on the importance of The Church – God’s chosen  people – and how we are the standard for which non-Christians view God.  With reference to the book of Acts and even Wonder Woman, he talks about  how in a world of hatred and evil, as a community in Christ it is our  responsibility to show the world what it can be, by living as the world  should be. Not for any gain of our own, but to offer choice to a world  that needs it.
