Or just want to go back over something? 

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. 

26th Oct 2025: 
Community Living - Sunday Communion

 


 

Acts 2: 42-47
Luke 22:14-20
 

Revd Abby sees how our Sunday services connect with the early church in Acts. Why does it matter that we gather each week and what can we gain from our Sunday services that we can't get alone? 

 

 

2nd Nov 2025: 
Community Living - Prayer

 

 

Acts 4: 23-31

 

Rosie Lee looks at how prayer can transform us. What does praying boldly mean for us? How can that help shape us as a community? What did the early church in Acts see happen as a result of their bold prayers? 

 

 

19th Oct 2025: 
Community Living - Shared Stories & Black History Month

 


 

Acts 9: 20-31
Luke 4:16-21
 

Neil Masih starts our series on Community Living, thinking about the stories we share and linking it to racial justice as part of Black History Month. How does God use the outsider and the outcast? 

 

 

12th Oct 2025: 
Restoration Nation -Recommitting to the Lord

 


 

Nehemiah 9: 1-3, 6-7, 32-38
Luke 3: 7-18
 

Revd Mary ends our series on Nehemiah, looking at how God's people cried out to him in an act of repentance and recommitment. What might God be saying to us about repentance and recommitting?

 

 

5th Oct 2025: 
Restoration Nation -Receiving the Word

 


 

Nehemiah 8: 1-12
 

God's word was first given to help shape community and sustain his people. Revd Abby thinks about how it was reintroduced to the people in Nehemiah's time and how we should be receiving scripture in the same way. 

 

 

28th Sept 2025: 
Restoration Nation -Reorganising the Team

 


 

Nehemiah 7:1-7a, 70-73
Matthew 4: 18-25

 

Jo Cleary thinks about Nehemiah's response to God's call to take a census of the community arriving back in Jerusalem. What does this story tell us about our own responses to the call God has for us?

 

 

21st Sept 2025: 
Restoration Nation -Responding to Trouble

 


 

Nehemiah 4: 7-23

Matthew 11: 25-30

 

Revd John looks at the discouragement that Nehemiah and his team faced as they built and their response to it. How are we facing discouragement in our own lives? What can we learn from Nehemiah?

 

 

14th Sept 2025: 
Restoration Nation -Rebuilding the Walls

 


Nehemiah 2:11-3:5

Matthew 7: 24-29

Nehemiah's task became clear when he saw walls God had told him to rebuild. Revd Abby looks at what the next steps he took might say to us today, as we seek to respond to what God is saying to each of us about the rebuilding and rebirth that is needed in our lives.

 

 

7th Sept 2025: 
Restoration Nation -Restoring the Vision

 


Nehemiah 1 and 2: 1-8

 

As we begin our series on the book of Nehemiah, Revd Mary looks at how his story started as a man who had never been to his family's land but whose heart broke at the stories of its ruin. What can we learn from how he cried out to God and sought to be part of the solution? 

 

 

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. 

 

 

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.

 

 

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.
