Rob Fowler, previous curate at St Matts takes us on a journey through the story of Elijah in 1 Kings 17, powerfully drawing out our reliance on God's unforeseen provision, the unexpected partnerships we get to embrace and and the need for instinctive love for the one. He also reminds us of our link with compassion and how each of us can get involved! If you’d like to sponsor a child why not find out more here: www.compassionuk.org/sponsorship

Up next in our Upside Down teaching series is Pentecost Sunday! Mike takes us through the story of Pentecost in Acts 2 when the Spirit fell in power and people immediately began to ask what on earth was going on. He encourages us that because of the Spirit coming at Pentecost all those years ago, today, everyone can be filled to overflowing. Isn't that good news?!

On the day of Pentecost, the Spirit fell in power and people immediately began to ask what on earth was going on. In this Try Church message, Mike takes us through the first ‘Gospel preach’ as Peter began to explain to the gathering crowds who Jesus is, why he came and what we can each do about it. You’ll also hear some top tips on sharing this message with your friends and family!

This week we rewind back to the beginning of Acts as Teressa continues our preaching series ‘Upside Down.’ Teressa takes us through Acts 1:1-8 as Jesus spends time with his followers before the action of Acts really kicks off. We all go through ‘in-between’ times in our lives — the challenge from this passage is to use these times to let go of our own vision and grab hold of God's vision.

Mike kicks off our new series ‘Upside Down’ where we will be tracking through the book of Acts looking to be inspired by the story of the early church and how the Holy Spirit came upon the early followers of Jesus to build the church and to empower them for the mission that God had given to them. However you feel about mission and evangelism — excited, terrified or anywhere in-between — our prayer is that as you listen toda y and as we go through this series we would all learn increasingly to step out where we are, to join in with God in his mission in the world, and to believe that it makes a difference!

Phil spoke on Sunday on being ‘Servants of the King.’ In the parable of the talents servants are given great treasure to use, steward and multiply. What have we been given by God and how can we cooperate with the Spirit to grow in these character traits? Listen back to find out!

On this vision and gift Sunday Mike reminded us of our purpose as a church and a bit about the journey we’ve been on as we looked at the story of the journey to Emmaus - walking with Jesus, walking together and running to share the good news!

This week Graham spoke to us about the resurrection revelled - just as it was to the disciples 2000 years ago. Graham took us through the Proof of the resurrection, the Peace of the resurrection and finally the power of the resurrection.

Listen back to our Easter Sunday message where Sally shared the good news of Jesus's death and resurrection and the hope we find in him. This week remeber these three things: don't be afraid, come and see and go and tell!

Our curate Mike kicks off our Easter services with his message from Palm Sunday. Through the lens of the Palm Sunday story Mike looks at the call of Jesus to obideince, to lay down our lives as an act of worship and to see our communites stirred up by the name of Jesus.
