7th September 2026
In Matthew 14:22-33, Jesus walks on the water to reach his disciples in their time of need. It has been a trial of one thing or another for me lately, but now we have a wildfire nearby that is warning...
6th September 2026
Exodus 12 marks a decisive moment in Israel’s story. After centuries of slavery, God was about to deliver his people from Egypt. At the heart of that deliverance was the Passover lamb. Each...

The Passover of grace
This week's sermon by Barry Robinson (6 September)
4th September 2026
As the apostle Paul writes in 2 Corinthians there are factions in the Corinthian church, including an element that has both maligned his person and undermined his apostleship. And yet his love for all...

Bible study – Revelation (part 14)
with Gavin Henderson (2 September)

I used to wonder how Jesus could understand groups like women and the elderly since he experienced life as a man, and a young one at that. But now I believe he does understand. He was very close to...
1st September 2026
Joanna is one of those remarkable women in Scripture whose story can easily be overlooked. We know very little about her, yet what Luke tells us is extraordinary. Joanna was the wife of Chuza, a...
31st August 2026

Nothing sweeps God’s love away
Thought for the week by Gavin Henderson
28th August 2026
I must admit that there have been times when I felt God had abandoned me. You’ve probably felt the same. Sometimes, in the severity of our trials, we may think that God has forgotten about us....
27th August 2026
In chapter 13 of Matthew’s gospel, Jesus clearly states that these parables are about what the kingdom of God is like. We see that it is the reign of God in the lives of ordinary men and women: all...
26th August 2026
Because we’re human, we often forget God isn’t like us and assume he looks at people in the same way. We think those who’ve committed atrocities can’t or shouldn’t be forgiven and must...
25th August 2026
Martha is often remembered as the busy sister who was distracted by many tasks while Mary sat at Jesus’s feet (Luke 10:38–42). Because of this familiar story, Martha is sometimes portrayed as...
24th August 2026

23rd August 2026

Rain at last
Thought for the week by Gavin Henderson
22nd August 2026
Sometimes the most important moments in life feel like standing at a doorway. Behind you is the life you have always known. Ahead lies a future you cannot yet see. The book of Exodus tells the story...
From Exodus to Christ
This week's sermon by Barry Robinson (23 August 2026)
21st August 2026
I own up to being a member of the Forgetful Club sometimes. I won’t give you more than a couple of examples: I have left the house and forgotten my mobile and I have come home to find that I left...
20th August 2026
I am a not-so-good amateur gardener. I do my best to keep the lawns mowed and the bushes pruned and the weeds at bay. But all too often time is squeezed by other commitments, and before I know it the...
Bible study – Revelation (part 13)
with Gavin Henderson (19 August 2026)
19th August 2026
This clue about God is fairly obvious. He is so generous and gracious he filled Paul with faith and love even though he had been hunting down and killing followers of Christ. God’s generosity is so...
18th August 2026
Mary of Bethany stands out as an extraordinary woman of the Bible, not because she held a position of influence or performed spectacular miracles, but because she recognised who Jesus truly is, and...
17th August 2026
