God calls everyone into a relationship with him and to make a positive difference in the world. Hannah shares ways in which we can discern and live out God’s call for our lives.

Olly shares thoughts on the fifth beatitude, ‘Blessed are the merciful’ - know that God is merciful; be merciful to others; show mercy to yourself.

This Sunday was a Preachtastics Sunday where we got to hear from six members of the St Matts family across the day.

Each of the speakers are continuing our Blessed life series looking at the 4th Beatitude: ‘Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled.’ – Matthew 5:6

It’s always so inspiring to see how God speaks to everyone so individually. We’d recommend listening to all of them as each bought a different perspective and angle to the passage, but if you want to listen to someone specific, use the timestamps below:

Jason Gilbert | 0:00

Paula Reeves | 11:24

Adrian Boughton | 23:07

Kwaku Owusu | 35:07 - Unfortunately part of the recording for Kwaku’s brilliant talk corrupted, but we’ve included the last few minutes!

Georgia Grinham | 37:06

Louis Winstone | 45:32

Phil shares wisdom on what it is to be 'meek' and apply Jesus' third Beatitude: 'Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth.' (Matthew 5:5)

Mourning can deepen our humanity, grow community and cultivate character. Olly shared wisdom from Jesus' second beatitude: 'Blessed are those who mourn for they shall be comforted.'

Our curate Mike begins a new series ‘Blessed Life’ looking at some of the most famous words of scripture - the Beatitudes. What are the Beatitudes? What does it mean to be blessed? And who are the poor in spirit? Have a listen and find out more about these questions… and about piles of rubbish, bears, Brother Andrew and what these beautiful Jesus blessings can teach us about the surprising upside-down kingdom of God!

For our 6th Anniversary, Olly shared some of the story of the church’s beginnings and some of our key values - knowing God; growing friendships and making a difference.

Mike, our curate, takes us through Revelation 21 and reflects on this time of mourning for The Queen, calling us to grieve with hope, to hold on to Jesus the one true constant presence in life, to embrace tension and, inspired by The Queen, to live as servants of God.

Olly encourages us in our spiritual lives to keep travelling home, keep travelling with others and take time to stop and celebrate.

Mike takes us through 6 life rhythms to help us sharpen our spiritual pencils ready for a new term.
