The Holy Spirt is given to us so that we might be empowered to witness to Jesus and the new life we have in him. Here’s Ruth to tell us more.

Community Church is part of the Pioneer Network. This Sunday we joined with others from across the network to hear about what God is doing in the UK and across the nations. As part of this we’ll hear from Ness Wilson (Pioneer UK leader) and Billy Kennedy (Pioneer International).

Jesus journey in the wilderness shows us how we can go from being filled with the Holy Spirit to living a life empowered by the Holy Spirit. At the beginning of Lent, Trevor looks at this and how we can hope to discover the Spirit in the extraordinary and the ordinary parts of our lives.

The Holy Spirit wants to produce his fruit in our lives, we are dependent upon him doing so. Here we look at ways that we can hinder or help this process.

This Sunday we were joined by guest speaker Steve Hurd from The Ark Church. Steve encouraged us about the power of an invitation and how one invitation can make a huge difference to people’s lives.

Is it enough to have had a one-off experience of the Holy Spirit we look back to? Alison tells us why we should go on being filled and empowered each day and the difference it will make to our lives and the lives of those around us.

God has adopted us as his sons and daughters but we don’t always live like it. The only way we can is by being filled with the Holy Spirit. Here’s Dan to explain more.

Jesus said that “rivers of living water” will flow from within those who believe in him. He also talked about being born of the Spirit and baptised in the Spirit. From the day of Pentecost onward the Holy Spirit has been transforming the church and individual Christians to move in power for living and witnessing.

Trevor introduces our new theme for this term – Everyday Eternity.

On the final Sunday of advent, Ruth shares how no matter where we find ourselves, our greatest hope, Jesus Christ is with us in the midst. And learn about the perils of a Christingle!
