May God grant you a 2024 full of spiritual blessings in Christ! And, to start the year here's our motto text for 2024 - Hebrews 9 verse 24 - "Christ ... entered heaven itself, now to appear for us in God’s presence". What a blessing to have a perfect representative with God! If you'd like a bookmark with the verse on it, please contact us via our website (see below).

Here's the finale to 2023 - not looking at the past but deciding to live for what is ahead. Our prayer is that you have found our on-line morning sermons in 2023 a blessing to you ... almost all are still available on-line, so do take the opportunity to listen to some of them again, or for the first time. And may God bless you as you do.

Almost there! It's Christmas Eve and we've reached the 4th in our Advent series. Today we meet Mary for the first time. Probably a youngish teenager, an angel surprises her, more than a little, with the news that God has decided that she will give birth to his Son - a boy to be named Jesus because he's to be the Saviour. What an astounding thing - and just as astounding is the fact that he's still saving people like you from their sin, and from eternal separation from God. Watch and listen and make sure he's your saviour.

In this third Advent season service, we're minutes later in the story from last week. Zechariah, has his voice back and uses it to praise God for his tremendous intervention - bringing rescue, redemption and the ability to enjoy God. He's got God-given words for his baby son too - that he'll be instrumental in gathering a multitude of people to God as they receive complete forgiveness, mercy and guidance 'into the path of peace'. No wonder he's excited - and so should we be!

In our second Advent season service, we've moved on about a year. Zechariah, who was struck dumb in last week's investigation, has to give a name to his newborn son. When he indicates that the name is what God has chosen beforehand, he finds his voice and lets rip in praise to God. Everyone is amazed and asks themselves "Just who is this baby going to be?". Our service today gives more than a clue to the answer!

Christmas is coming, and SBC is getting ready to celebrate the birth on earth of our Saviour, the lord Jesus Christ - majestic King of the Universe yet also a utterly dependent baby in a cow's feeding trough. And, to get ready, today we're looking at some human relatives of his - Zechariah & Elizabeth - about 1 year before Jesus Christ was born. Zechariah gets a surprise that leaves him speechless!

Today we reach the end of our series of talks based on the Bible book of Hebrews. You can binge-watch them all by tracking back to January 29th this year! But today, at the end, we're urged to pray, to keep going - trusting Jesus Christ in good and bad times because he showers his grace on us. We can rely on him whatever our situation.

Today our topic is fellowship - Christians together living for our Saviour's honour and praise. The morning service is part of our weekend of events. If you're not watching this live then we'll already have eaten lunch together by the time you view. People of very different backgrounds and interests helping each other, caring for each other and worshipping Jesus together is one of the amazing features of Christianity - because we want to become less important and we want Jesus Christ to become more important.

We're nearing the end of our series based on the Bible book of Hebrews. Today we look at a whole series of key advice points that the writer gives to us, the readers. Key pointers to living as Christ wants us. They're all pretty straightforward - so why do we find it so difficult to live like this - and the answer is that we need Christ to be Lord, not just in title but in reality in each of our lives.

In our continuing series of talks based on the Bible book of Hebrews, today we are grabbed by the urgency of living not as ordinary earthlings, but as citizens of God's eternal kingdom. There Jesus reigns perfectly and peaceably over citizens who joyfully accept his rule. There God has made every citizen perfect. We haven't arrived physically yet, but we can arrive spiritually, guaranteeing an eternal citizenship of unimaginable good.
