This week’s notices
I’ve mentioned before about the need for our church to be making disciples. This is the charge that we have been given by the Lord Jesus and it is what everything we do as a church revolves around. We are being discipled (or more properly, disciplined) all of the time in the church. When we […]
How to see change
Yesterday, I spoke of how the life of Jacob speaks of the gospel. He was given God’s promise for the sake of his fathers before him. And alongside receiving that promise, he regularly told people of the God who had been with him all his life. For us, this should be incredibly encouraging. Because the […]
A tremendous gift and challenge
While studying and preparing to preach on the doctrine of salvation by faith alone, I have been slowly reading through Romans in my own devotional time. There is much overlap between what I ultimately preached and what I had spent time meditating on. The reality of faith being a gift which is grown and strengthened […]
Reading Scripture
If you would like to receive these updates via a weekly email, you can sign up for our newsletter at this link. One of the things that I think is helpful for everyone is to spend time simply reading and listening to Scripture together. When we do this, we find solidarity with our brothers and […]
No accidents
To follow the Lord is the recognise that there is no such thing as a coincidence. At any given moment, in ways unknown to us, God is at work. It is not that he is constantly having to create, for the work of creation finished on the sixth day, but he is sustaining and upholding […]
A look back at Titus 2
Last Tuesday, we spent some time looking at Titus 2:11-14 and it was a really fruitful and encouraging time. As Paul writes to Titus, he instructs him to “teach what accords with sound doctrine.” Meaning, teach the truth to the church in Crete, true belief and true behaviour. We learned that it’s really easy to […]

Light and dark in John’s Gospel
At worship yesterday, we finished off our advent series looking at the first five verses of John’s Gospel. It’s been a great few weeks as we considered the One who came into the world to rescue it. If you missed any of the sermons, you can find them on our sermon page or as videos […]
Beyond our comprehension
At worship yesterday, we continued our series looking at the opening verses of John’s gospel. This time, as Douglas took us through John 1:4, he made one particular point that is so helpful when we consider who God is. At Advent, it might feel like we are constantly reaching for words like wonder, awe, or […]
