Welcome to Woody!

What does a healthy church really look like? Is it a building, an event, or something much deeper? In this challenging and encouraging message from Acts 2:42–47, we’re reminded that the church is not just something we attend, but a community we belong to.Through Scripture, personal stories, and practical reflection, this message explores what it means to be a rooted, growing church — devoted to truth, fellowship, prayer, generosity, and sharing the good news of Jesus. The early church didn’t thrive because it was perfect, but because it was centred on Christ and deeply committed to one another.

Whether you’ve been part of church for years, feel disconnected, or are simply curious about faith, this message invites you to consider where your roots are planted and how God might be calling you to grow. If you’re longing for deeper joy, stronger community, or a renewed passion for Jesus, this message is for you.

If this message resonates with you, or if you’d like someone to talk to or pray with, we’d love to hear from you.

In this final message from the Book of Daniel, Pastor Josh walks us through Daniel chapter 12 — a chapter written for times like ours.

Daniel 12 doesn’t give us timelines or predictions to obsess over — instead, it anchors us in the assurance that God knows His people, guards His church, and will bring all things to their rightful end in glory.Whether you’re wrestling with doubt, overwhelmed by the state of the world, or simply longing for reassurance that God is still at work, this message invites you to rest in God’s revelation, trust His kingdom above all others, and remain faithful until the end.If this message speaks to you, or if you’d like someone to talk to or pray with, we’d love to hear from you.Speaker: Pastor Joshua ParmarConnect with us:🌐 https://www.woodybap.org.uk/woodybapcardiff📸 https://www.instagram.com/woodybapcardiff📘 https://www.facebook.com/woodybapcardiff

Welcome to Woody! History can feel chaotic — kingdoms rise and fall, leaders betray one another, and the future can seem uncertain and frightening. In this powerful and faith-strengthening message from Daniel chapter 11, Pastor Josh reminds us that God rules history, even when history looks out of control.Through one of the most detailed prophetic chapters in Scripture, we see how God revealed centuries of future events to Daniel with astonishing accuracy. From the Persian and Greek empires to the suffering of God’s people under oppressive rulers, this passage shows us that nothing happens outside of God’s sovereign plan — all unfolds at His appointed time.This message encourages us to face uncertainty not with fear, but with faith. If you’re anxious about the future, overwhelmed by world events, or wrestling with what lies ahead, you’ll be reminded that God knows the future because He controls it — and He invites us to trust Him fully.If this message speaks to you, or if you’d like someone to talk to or pray with, we’d love to hear from you.Speaker: Pastor Joshua ParmarConnect with us:🌐 https://www.woodybap.org.uk/woodybapcardiff📸 https://www.instagram.com/woodybapcardiff📘 https://www.facebook.com/woodybapcardiff

Welcome to Woody! As a new year begins, many of us carry questions, weariness, or a sense that something in our spiritual life feels cold or dry. In this timely and challenging message from Daniel chapter 10, Stu invites us to look beneath the surface of the world we see and recognise the reality of the spiritual battle taking place around us.Through Daniel’s experience of prayer and fasting, we’re reminded that God hears our prayers from the very first day — even when the answer seems delayed. This sermon explores the power of spiritual disciplines, the unseen work of God in response to prayer, and the way God’s presence reassures, strengthens, and lifts us up when we feel weak.As we step into a new year, this message issues a clear call to action: a challenge to commit to a regular rhythm of prayer and fasting as a spiritual discipline. Whether through fasting food or other distractions, we’re encouraged to humble ourselves before God, seek renewal in our “secret place,” and ask Him to warm what has grown cold — in our own lives and in our church.If this message speaks to you, or if you’d like someone to talk to or pray with, we’d love to hear from you.Speaker: Stu (Woody Leadership Team)Connect with us:🌐 https://www.woodybap.org.uk/woodybapcardiff📸 https://www.instagram.com/woodybapcardiff📘 https://www.facebook.com/woodybapcardiff

Welcome to Woody! This week, Pastor Josh brings us the final message in our series on the Lord’s Prayer. Together we explore the closing words: “For yours is the kingdom, the power, and the glory, for ever and ever. Amen.”Through a brilliant mix of storytelling, humour, and heartfelt challenge, Pastor Josh helps us understand what it truly means for God to be our King—every day, not just on Sundays. We’re invited to see God’s kingdom as something that shapes our daily decisions, to rely on His unfailing power when our own strength runs out, and to live in a way that reflects His glory rather than building our own little kingdoms.This message reminds us that God’s reign is eternal, His strength never fades, and His glory is worth pointing to in everything we do. It’s an encouragement for all of us to place God at the centre of our lives and trust Him with each moment.If this message speaks to you, or if you’d like someone to talk to or pray with, we’d love to hear from you.Speaker: Pastor JoshConnect with us:🌐 https://www.woodybap.org.uk/woodybapcardiff📸 https://www.instagram.com/woodybapcardiff📘 https://www.facebook.com/woodybapcardiff

Welcome to Woody! This week we continue our journey through the book of Daniel in the Old Testament. Annabel leads us through Daniel 8 — a striking vision that blends history, prophecy, and a powerful reminder of God’s complete control over world events.

In this chapter, Daniel sees a ram, a goat, and a “little horn” that grows into a fierce and destructive ruler. Annabel unpacks how these images point to real historical empires — from Persia to Greece under Alexander the Great — and to the rise of Antiochus Epiphanes, a ruler who brutally persecuted the Jews and desecrated the temple.But this vision doesn’t just reveal the past. It also gives us a picture of the future, showing how Antiochus foreshadows the final Antichrist and the patterns of evil that will appear before Christ returns.

Through it all, Annabel helps us see the central truth: God is sovereign over history, He reveals what we need to know, and He calls us to remain faithful and to “go about the King’s business” with confidence and hope.

If this message speaks to you, or if you’d like someone to talk to or pray with, we’d love to hear from you.

Welcome to Woody! This week we continue our journey through the book of Daniel in the Old Testament. Pastor Josh leads us through Daniel 7 — one of Scripture’s most profound and powerful visions — where earthly kingdoms rise and fall, but the Ancient of Days reigns forever.In this apocalyptic scene, Daniel is shown four terrifying beasts representing human empires driven by pride, power, and rebellion. Yet above the chaos sits God on His throne — sovereign, holy, and unshaken. Pastor Josh helps us see how this vision pulls back the curtain on spiritual reality, revealing the ultimate hope found in the Son of Man, Jesus Christ, whose eternal kingdom cannot be shaken.This message invites us to lift our eyes above the turmoil of our world and anchor our confidence in the God who rules over history. Even when evil seems loud and kingdoms rage, Jesus has already secured the victory — and His people will share in His triumph.If this message speaks to you, or if you’d like someone to talk to or pray with, we’d love to hear from you.Speaker: Pastor JoshConnect with us:🌐 https://www.woodybap.org.uk/woodybapcardiff📸 https://www.instagram.com/woodybapcardiff📘 https://www.facebook.com/woodybapcardiff
