March 01, 2026‘Meet the Lord God who reveals His true self’ (Exodus 3:1-22)
There is no more important text in the Old Testament than that recorded in Exodus 3:1-22 where God revelaed Himself to Moses through the ‘bush that was buring but not consumed’. God speaks! And what he says is so vital to our understanding of who He is and what His plans are! It’s a great event to think about and one that leads us (again) straight to Jesus…

February 22, 2026‘Meet the Lord God who turns somebodies into nobodies’ (Exodus 2:11-25)
The text of Exodus 2:11-25 helps us see some of the details of what became of Moses the baby rescued in Exodus 2:1-10. This text, along with a section of Stephen’s speech in Acts 7:17-29, tell us that in growing up in the palace, Moses was equipped to be a great leader in Egypt. But not all went according to his plan. God certainly had other ideas for him. After 40 years in the palace being somebody, Moses spent the next 40 years in the desert being a relative ‘nobody’, but God had plans for this too…

February 15, 2026‘Meet the Lord God who has it all under control’ (Exodus 1:1-2:10)
The book of Exodus, continues the story of God’s sovereign control over all things, especially the plan to save His people, Israel. It begins in Exodus 1:1-2:10 with the people of Israel in slavery in Egypt, struggling under the weight of the burdens laid upon them by Pharaoh, whose evil designs were to bring the people of Israel to nothing. But God had a plan (as he always does) and through the faithful witness of the Hebrew midwives and an a young un-named couple, a baby named Moses entered the scene, destined to be the redeemer of God’s people.

February 08, 2026‘Following Jesus Christ’ (Luke 9:18-27)
Guest preacher and theological student, Daniel Hitchcock, spoke from Luke 9:18-27 about following Jesus. He asked his disciples who the people said he was and many were still perplexed. Then Jesus asks the disciples and Peter gets in right, “The Christ of God”. Jesus surprises as he explains what it means to be God’s chosen saviour and what it means to follow him. He knows he is going to the cross to suffer for our sin in our place. Following him through suffering sounds discouraging but the eternal reward is worth more than the whole world.

February 01, 2026‘Jesus brings a new kingdom’ (Luke 9:1-17)
Guest preacher and theological student, Daniel Hitchcock, spoke from Luke 9:1-17 about a very different king. Maybe even more so than in our day, politics in the ancient world were heating up with persecution and rebellions in the shadow of the Roman Empire. Herod was perplexed by the new kingdom Jesus heralded through his twelve disciples. Rather than bringing taxes or an army, Jesus brought love, forgiveness and eternal life. Jesus demonstrates his power and authority here in three ways. Will you serve and depend on King Jesus?

January 24, 2026‘Jesus heals a woman and Jairus’ daughter’ (Luke 8:40-56)
Guest preacher and theological student, Daniel Hitchcock, spoke from Luke 8:40-56 about two very different people. Jairus is a synagogue leader who comes to Jesus openly, while an unnamed woman approached Jesus with the cover of the crowd. Both came in faith with a great need. Jesus heals and even raises from the dead but gives forgiveness to meet their greatest need. No matter our struggle or how hopeless the situation, we can come to Jesus.

January 18, 2026‘See the control over the demonic by the Saviour’ (Luke 8:29-36)
When Jesus arrived on the ‘other side’ of the Sea of Galilee, he was immediately confronted by the presence and power of the evil one in the form of a man possessed by demons. The story recorded for us in Luke 8:29-36, shows that this encounter proved to be no problem for Jesus. He remained in full control of the situation, and not only delivered the man, but also sent him home to be a witness to his own people.

January 11, 2026‘See the control over the sea by the Saviour’ (Luke 8:22-25)
In Luke 8:22-25, we find Jesus stilling the wild storm that threatened the lives of all who were out in that boat on the Sea of Galilee. It was a moment of great fear for even the most seasoned of fishermen-turned-disciples, probably even more so for those who didn’t have that fishing background. But the greater fear was to follow, when the disciuples came face to face with the true identity of the one they called ‘Lord’, who controlled both the winds and the waves.

January 04, 2026‘See the parable about the seed told by the Saviour’ (Luke 8:1-21)
Each of the gospel writers, Matthew, Mark and Luke, record the parable that Jesus told, called either the ‘parable of the seeds’ or the ‘parable of the sower’ or the ‘parable of the soil’. In Luke’s gospel, the parable appears in Luke 8:1-21 and is ‘bookended’ by two references to women. Before the parable, referring to those women who supported Jesus through his ministry and then at the end of the parable, his own family, led by his mother Mary. In the middle of these references stands the parable which teaches us about hearing, doing, obeying and growth – all signs that we belong to the Kingdom that Jesus came to bring in through the scattering of the seed (the word of God).

December 28, 2025‘See the first public appearance of the Saviour’ (Luke 2:21-52)
Luke 2:21-52 are verses that might be all too easily overlooked in the Christmas season, when they ought not be. They give us a glimpse into ‘what went on’ for Jesus and even for his parents after the angels and shepherds had all gone away. They cover ‘ordinary’ matters that any Jewish couple of their time would have to observe – involving circumcision of their baby boy and more than one visit to the Temple in Jerusalem…. and it’s there in the Temple that many things unfolded that lead us to learn much more about our Saviour.
