Being Called To Be Church – Unexpected People

As the early church scattered, so did the good news of Jesus. But the first missionaries weren’t necessarily those that you would have expected…

Being Called To Be Church – Conflict In Church

A sermon about church rotas! A growing church needs organising if it is to stay true to its DNA; a people who look after the poor.

Being Called To Be Church – A Church That Dares

How can we better sense the prompting of the Holy Spirit and be ready to give the unexpected answer?

A Growing Church of Friends (Colossians 4:2-18)

Paul was surrounded with people who had a clear aim together & lived sacrificially. What does it take to be that sort of friend for one another?

A Growing Church Living Consistently (Colossians 3:18-4:1)

Paul’s teachings were radical in their day. We are called to live equally radically today. What does the gospel look like Monday-Saturday?

A Growing Church that Changes (Colossians 3:12-17)

There are things Paul wants people to stop doing, but there are far more new ways of life to live in.

A Growing Church Living on Jesus’ Coat-Tails (Colossians 2:9-3:11)

Paul wants the Colossians to know that their lives are intrinsically linked to Jesus. What happened to him happens to us. It changes how we see everything.

A Church of Good News (Colossians 1:24-2:8)

How do we deal with guilt? In a performance-based culture, we find that the cross is scandalously good news.

A Church Shaped by Jesus (Colossians 1:15-23)

In a culture of competing worldviews & religious ideas, we’re reminded to keep Jesus at the centre of our lives.

A Church of Fruitfulness (Colossians 1:9-14)

Paul prays for us to bear fruit as the Spirit does his work in us. What does fruitfulness look like where you live and work?

A Church Shaped By Faith Hope Love (Colossians 1:1-8)

What does it mean to be a community built on faith, hope and love? We explore these three principles which became the foundation of the early church.

Worshipping in a Hostile Environment (Mark 14:1-11)

A woman does something extravagant for Jesus & the disciples are outraged. But Jesus says she’s done a beautiful thing that will be remembered for all time.
