Sermons and Teaching

Want to catch up on sermons you may have missed from St Paul's?

We are recording lots of talks from our Sunday services, as well as other teaching we offer, to help go back over what God might have to say over the weeks. 

17th August 2025: 
Silent Stories - The Paralysed Man

 


Luke 5: 17-26

 

When his friends destroyed a roof to lower the paralysed man down to Jesus, we hear how his heart-health was the priority over his physical health. Revd Mary explores how we can stay expectant for healing from Jesus with forgiveness of sins as well as physical symptoms.

 

 

31st August 2025: 
Silent Stories - Anna 

 


Luke 2: 36-40

 

Anna's story can feel like a footnote at the end of Luke's account of Jesus's birth but her example shows us how to faithfully live as a disciple. Revd Abby asks how we can live faithfully, prayerfully and ready to tell the story of God's rescue plan in our lives and the world around us. 

 

 

10th August 2025: 
Silent Stories - Priscilla and Aquila

 


Acts 18: 23-28

 

Even if we don't hear the voices of Prisca - or Priscilla - and Aquila in the New Testament, we know that they had a huge impact on the early church and how it made disciples and sent them out. Revd Abby asks what their story can tell us about our calling to mission where we are.

 

 

3rd August 2025: 
Silent Stories - Bleeding Woman/ Jairus's daughter

 


 

Mark 5: 22-43
 

We never hear the voices of the bleeding woman who interrupts Jesus and is healed by touching the hem of his cloak or the little girl he went on to raise from the dead. Rosie Lee asks what their silent acts of faith tell us about following Jesus.

 

 

27th July 2025: 
Silent Stories - Barnabus

 


Acts 4: 32-37
 

As we begin a new sermon series, Revd Stacy looks at Barnabus. He was active and busy - referenced over and over again in the New Testament - but his voice is never heard. Stacy asks if we could say our actions speak louder than words, just like Barnabus.

Living Generously - Welcome

 



Matthew 25: 34-40

 

It's Revd Mary's first Sunday as our new Curate and she shares some of her story with us to help us think about how we can offer a generous welcome to others - especially those who need our help. How are we welcoming generously?

Living Generously - Treasures

 


2 Corinthians 9: 6-15
Matthew 6: 19-24

 

Revd Abby looks at the way Jesus taught us to think about money and how Paul encourages the church in Corinth to be cheerful givers, in order to help others and grow God's kingdom. How can we live generously when it comes to money?

Living Generously - Talents

 


Romans 12: 3-8
Matthew 25: 14-30

 

God gives us all gifts and talents to use to build up his church and serve our community.We can't let our unique gifts go to waste, even if it means taking a bit of a risk! Ron Ruddock asks how we are going to use our gifts generously.

Living Generously - Our generous God

 


1 John 4: 7-16

Stories of the Spirit - Pentecost

 


Acts 2: 1-21

 

As we celebrate the Holy Spirit coming down on the followers of Jesus on the day of Pentecost, Lou Peet asks how the Spirit can continue to renew us. With a baptism and a renewal of marriage vows in the same service, how can we all welcome the Spirit's renewing?
