EcoChurch: a sermon from 10th February 2019

God gave us dominion over the world we live upon; however, not to use as we will, but to work responsibly as Stewards of what is, ultimately, God's creation. Gordon Randall joined us early in February to talk about our responsibly in a world damaged severely through our misuse and abuse - and how we must work as one to turn around this small blue-green globe to the perfect image God originally created. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KN7rYqYPSdg

Posted on February 3, 2019February 4, 2019 by Paul Young

Last week, we talked about waiting - and the same occurs again as we read of Simeon, waiting for the child that would be the saviour of all mankind. Do you know when there's something special in front of you - and do you have the patience to wait for something perfect to come your way? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x3v3JUklMJQ

Waiting: a sermon from 27th January 2019

Posted on January 27, 2019January 29, 2019 by Paul Young

How good are you at waiting? The Christmas countdown through December can be torturous for an excited child (or adult!) and the wait for your next birthday can be just as bad. However, the people of Israel waited over 800 years: can you wait that long? God delivers on his promises; however, we must be patient that God knows what is best for us and will deliver in time. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HhX3T641FRU
