Matthew 9:14-17 (NIV)

Today we looked at something that you might be surprised to find on a list of spiritual disciplines, namely, Celebration.  It’s a good reminder that none of the spiritual disciplines ought to feel like chores, rather they’re something that we joyfully look forward to as we draw ever closer to Jesus.

By Rev Charlie Lacey Psalm 51: 1-17
Psalm 51: 1-17 (NIV)

We see so much evil in the world around us, and even in our own hearts, but what can be done to counter it?  We must turn away from sin and towards Jesus, and encourage society to do the same.

Of all the spiritual disciplines, fasting is probably the one we struggle with the most. Fasting has fallen out of mode with Christians in the West, but are we in danger of losing something important for our spiritual growth?  When do we fast?  Why do we fast?  Do we have to fast? These are some of the important questions explored in this sermon.

By Rev Charlie Lacey | Matthew 22: 34-40
Matthew 22: 34-40 (NIV)

Jesus teaches that the most important thing we can do in life is to love God with all that we are. That single commitment shapes so much of our lives now and everything about the life to come. And without that love and devotion to God, the spiritual disciplines we’re exploring in this series lose their purpose entirely.

By Rev Charlie Lacey | Matthew 6: 5-15
Matthew 6: 5-15 (NIV)

We started a new series today all about Spiritual Disciplines to help get us in the right mindset for the season of Lent.  We started by looking at prayer, without which we do not have a relationship with God.

By Rev Charlie Lacey | Revelation 21: 1-7
Revelations 21:1-7 (NIV)

So far in our 'Glory' series, we’ve seen that God’s glory is best seen through His character – and God’s character is best seen in the person of Jesus.  But we’ve also seen that God wants us to reflect his glory, in preparation for the day when Jesus returns and God’s people are perfected and fully glorified.

By Rev Carlie Lacey | Psalm 8

Psalm 8 (NIV)

We can’t fail to notice that there’s a huge gulf between the best and worst of human behaviour.  And, if we’re honest, we’d have to admit that there’s a huge gulf between the best and worst of our own behaviour.  In many ways human beings can be glorious – but often we’re quite the opposite – we can be extremely inglorious.  Today we found out why.

By Rev Charlie Lacey | Matthew 17: 1-13

Matthew 17:1-13 (NIV)

We’ve come to week two of our first series of the year, which is called ‘Glory’.  Last week we saw that God’s glory is best expressed through his character – and this week we’re going to see that God’s character has been perfectly expressed in and through the person of Jesus.

By Rev Charlie Lacey | Exodus 33: 12-23

Exodus 33: 12-23 (NIV)

Today was The Epiphany of Our Lord.  Epiphany means ‘appearance,' and God has made himself known to us, not only through creation – but by making an appearance and revealing himself to us personally.  We’re started a new series today called ‘Glory,’ and over the next 4 weeks we’re going to explore all the ways that God’s glory is manifested on earth. 

by Rev Charlie Lacey | Psalm 90
Psalm 90 (NIV)

On the last Sunday of the year, as we headed into 2026, we thought about ‘time’.  What is it? Why does it exist? How do we use it? How should we use it?  And what are we going to do with the 8760 hours that will make up 2026?
