“The life lived now is the life that matters” Revd. Adrian Roux examines the story of the two sons, Matt 21: 23-32, and Ezekiel 18: 1-4; 25-32. Alan Ewart James introduces today’s Podcast; Jane Burnham reads the readings. We sing “All glory laud and honour” and “I the Lord of sea and sky”, 262 and 663 in Singing the Faith.

Today, with walls of God’s grace protecting us on either side, we cross over the Red Sea, as Gill Songer explores the story in Exodus 13: 19 to 31. Paul Missin reads for us and Hugh Burnham does the introductions. We sing “Amazing Grace” and “Guide Me O Thou Great Jehovah” which, in Singing the Faith, are numbers 440 and 465 respectively.

Today's Podcast is introduced by Alan Ewart-James. Hugh Burnham explores the metaphor of being "yoked with Jesus" as we look at Acts 15:1-18, read by Richard Giles, and Matthew 11:28-30. The hymns are both from Singing the Faith "Will you come and follow me" no. 673, and "Jesus Christ is waiting" no. 251.

“Only people who see take off their shoes”, Ruth Bamford reads Exodus 3: 1 – 15 and Adrian Roux reflects on this story of Moses and the burning bush. The hymns are StF 745 “For all the saints” and 503 “Love divine, all loves excelling”. The podcast is presented by Alan Ewart-James.

Today's podcast is all about becoming more like Jesus, and focuses on John 6: 53-69. Gill Songer gives the reflection and Liz Talbot reads. The worship is led by Hugh as we sing:

StF 432  -  All of You and none of me – Theodore Monod

StF 489  -  Knowing You Jesus, knowing you   -  Graham Kendrick

For this service, the reflection, given by Revd. K Taylor, is upon God’s mercy and how the Canaanite Women persisted with asking Jesus and then, how God’s mercy is shared through him.  This is based on Matthew 15 verses 21 to 28, read by Steward French.  Songs include “At The Name Of Jesus & “Take My Life And Let It Be”.

This week’s podcast is introduced by Lisa. Jane reads to us from Matthew 14:22-33 and Hugh brings us our reflection for the week. Our prayers are taken from the Roots material for this Sunday and our songs are ‘The Lord’s my Shepherd I’ll not want’ (481), ‘Oceans (where feet may fail)’ and ‘Will you come and follow me if I but call your name?’ (673).

Our reflection, by Dwight Harris, looks what it means to be a Christian from within rather than what the world expects to see. Paul Mission reads Acts 26, verses 24 to 32. Alan Ewart-James is the Worship Leader. Songs are "Dear Lord and Father of Mankind" and "Great is our faithfulness".

Rev Kevin reflects on discipleship, how we all contribute to God’s work, no matter small and how our differences do not hinder us. Kevin also reflects on the cost of disciple, the joys and challenges. Richard reads Matthew 13: 31 to 33 and 44 to 52 and songs include “Best Of All, God is With Us” and “Will You Come and Follow Me”
