Sunday 22nd February 2026 - West and North SitesSpeaker - David PikeDavid continues our Keeping the Faith series from Paul's second letter to Timothy, taking a look at the importance of the scriptures, and encouraging us to follow in Paul and Timothy's footsteps in engaging regularly with God's Word.David refers to a message 'Shaped by the Word', given by Dave Kemp in January 2022 - you can listen by following either of the following links:Spotify: https://tinyurl.com/bdevczteYouTube: https://tinyurl.com/mvy7cu7c_______________2 Timothy 3 v 10-17 10) You, however, know all about my teaching, my way of life, my purpose, faith, patience, love, endurance, 11) persecutions, sufferings—what kinds of things happened to me in Antioch, Iconium and Lystra, the persecutions I endured. Yet the Lord rescued me from all of them. 12) In fact, everyone who wants to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted, 13) while evildoers and impostors will go from bad to worse, deceiving and being deceived. 14) But as for you, continue in what you have learned and have become convinced of, because you know those from whom you learned it, 15) and how from infancy you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. 16) All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, 17) so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work._______________Recorded at the North Site - 22Feb2026

Sunday 15th February 2026 - West and North SitesSunday 15th February 2026 - Central AM & PMSpeaker - James RankineJames resumes our Keeping the Faith series from Paul's second letter to Timothy, and shares Paul's advice to Timothy to exercise discernment._______________2 Timothy 2 v 14 - 26 & 3 v 1-914)  Keep reminding God's people of these things. Warn them before God against quarreling about words; it is of no value, and only ruins those who listen. 15)  Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth. 16)  Avoid godless chatter, because those who indulge in it will become more and more ungodly. 17)  Their teaching will spread like gangrene. Among them are Hymenaeus and Philetus, 18)  who have departed from the truth. They say that the resurrection has already taken place, and they destroy the faith of some. 19)  Nevertheless, God's solid foundation stands firm, sealed with this inscription: “The Lord knows those who are his,” and, “Everyone who confesses the name of the Lord must turn away from wickedness.”20)  In a large house there are articles not only of gold and silver, but also of wood and clay; some are for special purposes and some for common use. 21)  Those who cleanse themselves from the latter will be instruments for special purposes, made holy, useful to the Master and prepared to do any good work.22)  Flee the evil desires of youth and pursue righteousness, faith, love and peace, along with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart. 23)  Don't have anything to do with foolish and stupid arguments, because you know they produce quarrels. 24)  And the Lord's servant must not be quarrelsome but must be kind to everyone, able to teach, not resentful. 25)  Opponents must be gently instructed, in the hope that God will grant them repentance leading them to a knowledge of the truth, 26)  and that they will come to their senses and escape from the trap of the devil, who has taken them captive to do his will.Chapter 31) But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days. 2)  People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, 3)  without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, 4)  treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God— 5)  having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with such people.6)  They are the kind who worm their way into homes and gain control over gullible women, who are loaded down with sins and are swayed by all kinds of evil desires, 7)  always learning but never able to come to a knowledge of the truth. 8)  Just as Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, so also these teachers oppose the truth. They are men of depraved minds, who, as far as the faith is concerned, are rejected. 9)  But they will not get very far because, as in the case of those men, their folly will be clear to everyone._______________Recorded at North site - 15Feb2026

Sunday 1st February 2026 - Central AM & PMSunday 8th February 2026 - West and North SitesSpeaker - Alice MeadsAlice reflects on the journey we as a church have followed over the last year since launching our vision to Renew the Nation. She calls on us to remember - where we were when we started, and key stages of our journey - sharing stories of those buckets drawn from the well of salvation._______________Isaiah 12 v 3-63)  With joy you will draw water    from the wells of salvation.4)  In that day you will say:‘Give praise to the Lord, proclaim his name;    make known among the nations what he has done,    and proclaim that his name is exalted.5)  Sing to the Lord, for he has done glorious things;    let this be known to all the world.6)  Shout aloud and sing for joy, people of Zion,    for great is the Holy One of Israel among you.'_______________Recorded at the North Site - 08Feb2026

Sunday 1st February 2026 - West and North sitesSunday 8th February 2026 - Central AM & PMSpeaker - James RankineJames provides us with a review of the Renew the Nation vision which was shared with us over several weeks during 2025. He reminds us that the vision was to emulate the early church at Antioch, and tells us where we are now and outlines the plans which we expect to unfold over the coming months._______________Acts 10 v 23-4623) The next day Peter started out with them, and some of the believers from Joppa went along. 24)  The following day he arrived in Caesarea. Cornelius was expecting them and had called together his relatives and close friends. 25)  As Peter entered the house, Cornelius met him and fell at his feet in reverence. 26)  But Peter made him get up. ‘Stand up,' he said, ‘I am only a man myself.'27)  While talking with him, Peter went inside and found a large gathering of people. 28)  He said to them: ‘You are well aware that it is against our law for a Jew to associate with or visit a Gentile. But God has shown me that I should not call anyone impure or unclean. 29)  So when I was sent for, I came without raising any objection. May I ask why you sent for me?'30)  Cornelius answered: ‘Three days ago I was in my house praying at this hour, at three in the afternoon. Suddenly a man in shining clothes stood before me 31)  and said, “Cornelius, God has heard your prayer and remembered your gifts to the poor. 32)  Send to Joppa for Simon who is called Peter. He is a guest in the home of Simon the tanner, who lives by the sea.” 33)  So I sent for you immediately, and it was good of you to come. Now we are all here in the presence of God to listen to everything the Lord has commanded you to tell us.'34)  Then Peter began to speak: ‘I now realise how true it is that God does not show favouritism 35)  but accepts from every nation the one who fears him and does what is right. 36)  You know the message God sent to the people of Israel, announcing the good news of peace through Jesus Christ, who is Lord of all. 37)  You know what has happened throughout the province of Judea, beginning in Galilee after the baptism that John preached – 38)  how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and power, and how he went around doing good and healing all who were under the power of the devil, because God was with him.39)  ‘We are witnesses of everything he did in the country of the Jews and in Jerusalem. They killed him by hanging him on a cross, 40)  but God raised him from the dead on the third day and caused him to be seen. 41)  He was not seen by all the people, but by witnesses whom God had already chosen – by us who ate and drank with him after he rose from the dead. 42)  He commanded us to preach to the people and to testify that he is the one whom God appointed as judge of the living and the dead. 43)  All the prophets testify about him that everyone who believes in him receives forgiveness of sins through his name.'44)  While Peter was still speaking these words, the Holy Spirit came on all who heard the message. 45)  The circumcised believers who had come with Peter were astonished that the gift of the Holy Spirit had been poured out even on Gentiles. 46)  For they heard them speaking in tongues and praising God._______________Recorded at West Site - 01Feb2026

Sunday 11th January 2025 - Central AM & PMSunday 18th January 2025 - West and North SitesSpeaker - Alice MeadsAlice continues with our series looking at Paul's second letter to Timothy. Though Paul's circumstances and prospects were extremely bleak, he reminds Timothy - and us - that we are never short-changed in God's Kingdom._______________2 Timothy 1 v 8-188) So do not be ashamed of the testimony about our Lord or of me, his prisoner. Rather, join with me in suffering for the gospel, by the power of God. 9) He has saved us and called us to a holy life – not because of anything we have done but because of his own purpose and grace. This grace was given us in Christ Jesus before the beginning of time, 10) but it has now been revealed through the appearing of our Saviour, Christ Jesus, who has destroyed death and has brought life and immortality to light through the gospel. 11) And of this gospel I was appointed a herald and an apostle and a teacher. 12) That is why I am suffering as I am. Yet this is no cause for shame, because I know whom I have believed, and am convinced that he is able to guard what I have entrusted to him until that day.13) What you heard from me, keep as the pattern of sound teaching, with faith and love in Christ Jesus. 14) Guard the good deposit that was entrusted to you – guard it with the help of the Holy Spirit who lives in us.15) You know that everyone in the province of Asia has deserted me, including Phygelus and Hermogenes.16) May the Lord show mercy to the household of Onesiphorus, because he often refreshed me and was not ashamed of my chains. 17) On the contrary, when he was in Rome, he searched hard for me until he found me. 18) May the Lord grant that he will find mercy from the Lord on that day! You know very well in how many ways he helped me in Ephesus._______________Recorded at the North Site - 18Jan2026

They made her stand before the group 4)  and said to Jesus, ‘Teacher, this woman was caught in the act of adultery. 5)  In the Law Moses commanded us to stone such women. Now what do You say?' 6)  They were using this question as a trap, in order to have a basis for accusing Him.But Jesus bent down and started to write on the ground with His finger. 7) When they kept on questioning Him, He straightened up and said to them, ‘Let any one of you who is without sin be the first to throw a stone at her.' 8)  Again He stooped down and wrote on the ground.9)  At this, those who heard began to go away one at a time, the older ones first, until only Jesus was left, with the woman still standing there. 10)  Jesus straightened up and asked her, ‘Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you?'11)  ‘No one, sir,' she said.‘Then neither do I condemn you,' Jesus declared. ‘Go now and leave your life of sin.'_______________Recorded at the North Site - 04Jan2026

Sunday 7th December 2025 - West and North SitesSunday 14th December 2025 - Central AM & PMSpeaker - Alice MeadsAlice explores the real miracle of Christmas - that God, the Creator of all things, chose to become human, and live among us, His creation. This miracle of God with us is what ultimately will bring the light which will conquer the darkness.____________John 1 v 1-18 (NLT)1) In the beginning the Word already existed.    The Word was with God,    and the Word was God.2) He existed in the beginning with God.3) God created everything through him,    and nothing was created except through him.4) The Word gave life to everything that was created,    and his life brought light to everyone.5) The light shines in the darkness,    and the darkness can never extinguish it.6) God sent a man, John the Baptist, 7) to tell about the light so that everyone might believe because of his testimony. 8) John himself was not the light; he was simply a witness to tell about the light. 9) The One who is the true light, who gives light to everyone, was coming into the world.10) He came into the very world He created, but the world didn't recognise him. 11) He came to his own people, and even they rejected him. 12) But to all who believed Him and accepted Him, He gave the right to become children of God. 13) They are reborn—not with a physical birth resulting from human passion or plan, but a birth that comes from God.14) So the Word became human and made his home among us. He was full of unfailing love and faithfulness. And we have seen His glory, the glory of the Father's one and only Son.15) John testified about him when he shouted to the crowds, “This is the One I was talking about when I said, ‘Someone is coming after me who is far greater than I am, for He existed long before me.'”16 From His abundance we have all received one gracious blessing after another.[ 17 For the law was given through Moses, but God's unfailing love and faithfulness came through Jesus Christ. 18 No one has ever seen God. But the unique One, who is Himself God, is near to the Father's heart. He has revealed God to us.____________Recorded at North site - 07Dec2025

A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. 15) Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. 16) In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven._______________Recorded at the North site - 30Nov2025

Christ is all that matters, and he lives in all of us. 12) Since God chose you to be the holy people he loves, you must clothe yourselves with tenderhearted mercy, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience. 13) Make allowance for each other's faults, and forgive anyone who offends you. Remember, the Lord forgave you, so you must forgive others. 14) Above all, clothe yourselves with love, which binds us all together in perfect harmony. ____________Recorded at the West Site - 09Nov2025

Sunday 2nd November 2025 - West SiteSpeaker - Mark CrosbyMark introduces a special event in the life of our church - the baptism of those who have chosen to follow Jesus. ____________2 Corinthians 5 v 14 & 1714) ... Since we believe that Christ died for all, we also believe that we have all died to our old life.17) This means that anyone who belongs to Christ has become a new person. The old life is gone; a new life has begun!____________Recorded at the West Site 02Nov2025

Sunday 26th October 2025 - West and North SitesSpeaker - Gary SmithGary continues with our Life Together series, looking at the way we are all called to be unique parts of the Lord's body.____________1 Corinthians 12 v 12-2712)  Just as a body, though one, has many parts, but all its many parts form one body, so it is with Christ. 13)  For we were all baptised by one Spirit so as to form one body – whether Jews or Gentiles, slave or free – and we were all given the one Spirit to drink. 14)  And so the body is not made up of one part but of many.15)  Now if the foot should say, ‘Because I am not a hand, I do not belong to the body,' it would not for that reason stop being part of the body. 16)  And if the ear should say, ‘Because I am not an eye, I do not belong to the body,' it would not for that reason stop being part of the body. 17)  If the whole body were an eye, where would the sense of hearing be? If the whole body were an ear, where would the sense of smell be? 18)  But in fact God has placed the parts in the body, every one of them, just as he wanted them to be. 19)  If they were all one part, where would the body be? 20)  As it is, there are many parts, but one body.21)  The eye cannot say to the hand, ‘I don't need you!' And the head cannot say to the feet, ‘I don't need you!' 22)  On the contrary, those parts of the body that seem to be weaker are indispensable, 23)  and the parts that we think are less honourable we treat with special honour. And the parts that are unpresentable are treated with special modesty, 24)  while our presentable parts need no special treatment. But God has put the body together, giving greater honour to the parts that lacked it, 25)  so that there should be no division in the body, but that its parts should have equal concern for each other. 26)  If one part suffers, every part suffers with it; if one part is honoured, every part rejoices with it.27)  Now you are the body of Christ, and each one of you is a part of it.____________Recorded at North Site - 26Oct2025

Jesus asked this question of His followers in the Sermon on the Mount.____________Matthew 7 v 1-51) ‘Do not judge, or you too will be judged. 2)  For in the same way as you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.3)  ‘Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother's eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? 4)  How can you say to your brother, “Let me take the speck out of your eye,” when all the time there is a plank in your own eye? 5)  You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother's eye.____________Recorded at North Site - 12Oct2025

Sunday 5th October 2025 - North Site and Central PMSpeaker - James RankineJames kicks off our new series entitled "Life Together", explaining how participating in community is part of the Lord's plan for His Church.____________Ephesians 2 v 18-22 (NIV)18) For through him we both have access to the Father by one Spirit. 19) Consequently, you are no longer foreigners and strangers, but fellow citizens with God's people and also members of his household, 20) built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus himself as the chief cornerstone. 21) In him the whole building is joined together and rises to become a holy temple in the Lord. 22) And in him you too are being built together to become a dwelling in which God lives by his Spirit.Ephesians 2 v 18-22 (The Message)Christ brought us together through his death on the cross. The Cross got us to embrace, and that was the end of the hostility. Christ came and preached peace to you outsiders and peace to us insiders. He treated us as equals, and so made us equals. Through him we both share the same Spirit and have equal access to the Father. That's plain enough, isn't it? You're no longer wandering exiles. This kingdom of faith is now your home country. You're no longer strangers or outsiders. You belong here, with as much right to the name Christian as anyone. God is building a home. He's using us all—irrespective of how we got here—in what he is building. He used the apostles and prophets for the foundation. Now he's using you, fitting you in brick by brick, stone by stone, with Christ Jesus as the cornerstone that holds all the parts together. We see it taking shape day after day—a holy temple built by God, all of us built into it, a temple in which God is quite at home.____________Recorded at North Site - 05Oct2025

Sunday 28th September 2025 - West and North SitesSpeaker - Alice MeadsFor our special Try Church Sunday service, Alice recounts the story that Jesus told that we know as "The Prodigal Son", which reveals the heart of God the Father towards us.____________Luke 15: 11- 3211) Jesus continued: “There was a man who had two sons. 12) The younger one said to his father, ‘Father, give me my share of the estate.' So he divided his property between them.13) “Not long after that, the younger son got together all he had, set off for a distant country and there squandered his wealth in wild living. 14) After he had spent everything, there was a severe famine in that whole country, and he began to be in need. 15) So he went and hired himself out to a citizen of that country, who sent him to his fields to feed pigs. 16) He longed to fill his stomach with the pods that the pigs were eating, but no one gave him anything.17) “When he came to his senses, he said, ‘How many of my father's hired servants have food to spare, and here I am starving to death! 18) I will set out and go back to my father and say to him: Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you. 19) I am no longer worthy to be called your son; make me like one of your hired servants.' 20) So he got up and went to his father.“But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and was filled with compassion for him; he ran to his son, threw his arms around him and kissed him.21) “The son said to him, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you. I am no longer worthy to be called your son.'22) “But the father said to his servants, ‘Quick! Bring the best robe and put it on him. Put a ring on his finger and sandals on his feet. 23) Bring the fattened calf and kill it. Let's have a feast and celebrate. 24) For this son of mine was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.' So they began to celebrate.25) “Meanwhile, the older son was in the field. When he came near the house, he heard music and dancing. 26) So he called one of the servants and asked him what was going on. 27) ‘Your brother has come,' he replied, ‘and your father has killed the fattened calf because he has him back safe and sound.'28) “The older brother became angry and refused to go in. So his father went out and pleaded with him. 29) But he answered his father, ‘Look! All these years I've been slaving for you and never disobeyed your orders. Yet you never gave me even a young goat so I could celebrate with my friends. 30) But when this son of yours who has squandered your property with prostitutes comes home, you kill the fattened calf for him!'31) “‘My son,' the father said, ‘you are always with me, and everything I have is yours. 32) But we had to celebrate and be glad, because this brother of yours was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.'”____________Recorded at North Site - 28Sep2025

On the way He asked them, ‘Who do people say I am?'28)  They replied, ‘Some say John the Baptist; others say Elijah; and still others, one of the prophets.'29)  ‘But what about you?' He asked. ‘Who do you say I am?'Peter answered, ‘You are the Messiah.'30)  Jesus warned them not to tell anyone about Him.31)  He then began to teach them that the Son of Man must suffer many things and be rejected by the elders, the chief priests and the teachers of the law, and that He must be killed and after three days rise again. 32)  He spoke plainly about this, and Peter took Him aside and began to rebuke Him.33)  But when Jesus turned and looked at His disciples, He rebuked Peter. ‘Get behind Me, Satan!' He said. ‘You do not have in mind the concerns of God, but merely human concerns.'34)  Then He called the crowd to him along with His disciples and said: ‘Whoever wants to be My disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow Me. 35)  For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for Me and for the gospel will save it. 36)  What good is it for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul? 37)  Or what can anyone give in exchange for their soul? 38)  If anyone is ashamed of Me and My words in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man will be ashamed of them when He comes in His Father's glory with the holy angels.'____________Recorded at North Site - 17Aug2025

And what is more, it is the third day since all this took place. 22) In addition, some of our women amazed us. They went to the tomb early this morning 23) but didn't find his body. They came and told us that they had seen a vision of angels, who said he was alive. 24) Then some of our companions went to the tomb and found it just as the women had said, but they did not see Jesus.”25) He said to them, “How foolish you are, and how slow to believe all that the prophets have spoken! 26) Did not the Messiah have to suffer these things and then enter his glory?” 27) And beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, he explained to them what was said in all the Scriptures concerning himself.28) As they approached the village to which they were going, Jesus continued on as if he were going farther. 29) But they urged him strongly, “Stay with us, for it is nearly evening; the day is almost over.” So he went in to stay with them.30) When he was at the table with them, he took bread, gave thanks, broke it and began to give it to them. 31) Then their eyes were opened and they recognized him, and he disappeared from their sight. 32) They asked each other, “Were not our hearts burning within us while he talked with us on the road and opened the Scriptures to us?”33) They got up and returned at once to Jerusalem. There they found the Eleven and those with them, assembled together 34) and saying, “It is true! The Lord has risen and has appeared to Simon.” 35) Then the two told what had happened on the way, and how Jesus was recognized by them when he broke the bread.Recorded at North Site - 10Aug2025

It grew and became a tree, and the birds perched in its branches.”20)  Again he asked, “What shall I compare the kingdom of God to? 21) It is like yeast that a woman took and mixed into about sixty pounds of flour until it worked all through the dough.”____________Recorded at Central Site - 03Aug2025

Sunday 3rd August 2025 - West and North SitesSpeaker - Gary SmithGary continues with our Summer series "Questions Jesus Asked", looking at the story of Peter's encounter with Jesus on the beach after His resurrection, as recorded in John 21 v 1-19____________1)  Afterward Jesus appeared again to his disciples, by the Sea of Galilee. It happened this way: 2)  Simon Peter, Thomas (also known as Didymus), Nathanael from Cana in Galilee, the sons of Zebedee, and two other disciples were together. 3)  “I'm going out to fish,” Simon Peter told them, and they said, “We'll go with you.” So they went out and got into the boat, but that night they caught nothing.4)  Early in the morning, Jesus stood on the shore, but the disciples did not realize that it was Jesus.5)  He called out to them, “Friends, haven't you any fish?”“No,” they answered.6)  He said, “Throw your net on the right side of the boat and you will find some.” When they did, they were unable to haul the net in because of the large number of fish.7)  Then the disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter, “It is the Lord!” As soon as Simon Peter heard him say, “It is the Lord,” he wrapped his outer garment around him (for he had taken it off) and jumped into the water. 8)  The other disciples followed in the boat, towing the net full of fish, for they were not far from shore, about a hundred yards. 9)  When they landed, they saw a fire of burning coals there with fish on it, and some bread.10)  Jesus said to them, “Bring some of the fish you have just caught.” 11)  So Simon Peter climbed back into the boat and dragged the net ashore. It was full of large fish, 153, but even with so many the net was not torn. 12)  Jesus said to them, “Come and have breakfast.” None of the disciples dared ask him, “Who are you?” They knew it was the Lord. 13)  Jesus came, took the bread and gave it to them, and did the same with the fish. 14)  This was now the third time Jesus appeared to his disciples after he was raised from the dead.15) When they had finished eating, Jesus said to Simon Peter, “Simon son of John, do you love me more than these?”“Yes, Lord,” he said, “you know that I love you.”Jesus said, “Feed my lambs.”16)  Again Jesus said, “Simon son of John, do you love me?”He answered, “Yes, Lord, you know that I love you.”Jesus said, “Take care of my sheep.”17)  The third time he said to him, “Simon son of John, do you love me?”Peter was hurt because Jesus asked him the third time, “Do you love me?” He said, “Lord, you know all things; you know that I love you.”Jesus said, “Feed my sheep. 18)  Very truly I tell you, when you were younger you dressed yourself and went where you wanted; but when you are old you will stretch out your hands, and someone else will dress you and lead you where you do not want to go.” 19)  Jesus said this to indicate the kind of death by which Peter would glorify God. Then he said to him, “Follow me!”____________Recorded at North Site - 03Aug2025

There were also other boats with Him. 37) A furious squall came up, and the waves broke over the boat, so that it was nearly swamped. 38) Jesus was in the stern, sleeping on a cushion. The disciples woke Him and said to Him, “Teacher, don't you care if we drown?”39) He got up, rebuked the wind and said to the waves, “Quiet! Be still!” Then the wind died down and it was completely calm.40) He said to His disciples, “Why are you so afraid? Do you still have no faith?”41) They were terrified and asked each other, “Who is this? Even the wind and the waves obey Him!”

Sunday 6th July 2025 - Central AM & PMSpeaker - Alice MeadsAlice takes us through the story that Jesus told of the Prodigal Son, and explains that our faith is very much about homecoming.____________Luke 15 v 11- 3211) Jesus continued: “There was a man who had two sons. 12) The younger one said to his father, ‘Father, give me my share of the estate.' So he divided his property between them.13) Not long after that, the younger son got together all he had, set off for a distant country and there squandered his wealth in wild living. 14) After he had spent everything, there was a severe famine in that whole country, and he began to be in need. 15) So he went and hired himself out to a citizen of that country, who sent him to his fields to feed pigs. 16) He longed to fill his stomach with the pods that the pigs were eating, but no one gave him anything.17) When he came to his senses, he said, ‘How many of my father's hired servants have food to spare, and here I am starving to death! 18) I will set out and go back to my father and say to him: Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you. 19) I am no longer worthy to be called your son; make me like one of your hired servants.' 20) So he got up and went to his father. But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and was filled with compassion for him; he ran to his son, threw his arms around him and kissed him.21) The son said to him, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you. I am no longer worthy to be called your son.'22) But the father said to his servants, ‘Quick! Bring the best robe and put it on him. Put a ring on his finger and sandals on his feet. 23) Bring the fattened calf and kill it. Let's have a feast and celebrate. 24) For this son of mine was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.' So they began to celebrate.25) Meanwhile, the older son was in the field. When he came near the house, he heard music and dancing. 26) So he called one of the servants and asked him what was going on. 27) ‘Your brother hascome,' he replied, ‘and your father has killed the fattened calfbecause he has him back safe and sound.'28 The older brother became angry and refused to go in. So his father went out and pleaded with him. 29) But he answered his father, ‘Look! All these years I've been slaving for you and never disobeyed your orders. Yet you never gave me even a young goat so I could celebrate with my friends. 30) But when this son of yours who has squandered your property with prostitutes comes home, you kill the fattened calf for him!'31) ‘My son,' the father said, ‘you are always with me, andeverything I have is yours. 32) But we had to celebrate and be glad, because this brother of yours was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.'_____________Recorded at Central AM 06Jul2025

When I came to you, I did not come with eloquence or human wisdom as I proclaimed to you the testimony about God.  2) For I resolved to know nothing while I was with you except Jesus Christ and Him crucified. 3) I came to you in weakness with great fear and trembling. 4) My message and my preaching were not with wise and persuasive words, but with a demonstration of the Spirit's power, 5) so that your faith might not rest on human wisdom, but on God's power.Recorded at the Central site - 15Jun2025

He takes the example of Jesus' encounter at the well with the Samaritan woman.Mark calls on us to follow the Holy Spirit's guidance, stepping outside our comfort zone, and taking risks to share our life-changing message with the lost.____________John 4 v 3-7, 9, 16-19, 39-413) So He left Judea and went back once more to Galilee.4) Now He had to go through Samaria. 5) So He came to a town in Samaria called Sychar, near the plot of ground Jacob had given to his son Joseph. 6) Jacob's well was there, and Jesus, tired as He was from the journey, sat down by the well. It was about noon.7) When a Samaritan woman came to draw water, Jesus said to her, “Will you give Me a drink?” 8) (His disciples had gone into the town to buy food.)...9) The Samaritan woman said to him, “You are a Jew and I am a Samaritan woman. How can You ask me for a drink?” (For Jews do not associate with Samaritans.)...16) He told her, “Go, call your husband and come back.”17) “I have no husband,” she replied. Jesus said to her, “You are right when you say you have no husband. 18 ) The fact is, you have had five husbands, and the man you now have is not your husband. What you have just said is quite true.”19) “Sir,” the woman said, “I can see that You are a prophet....39) Many of the Samaritans from that town believed in Him because of the woman's testimony, “He told me everything I ever did.” 40) So when the Samaritans came to him, they urged Him to stay with them, and He stayed two days. 41) And because of His words many more became believers._____________Recorded at North Site - 15Jun2025

Now, we are called to follow His example, overcoming fear and doubt, and bringing God's power into everyday situations—at work, home, or in the community.Steph describes some practical steps that we can follow for connecting with those around us--praying for healing, for example--emphasizing simplicity and reliance on the Holy Spirit. She encourages us to follow those steps, and share the Gospel with boldness, empowered by the Holy Spirit.___________________Luke 10 v 1-2 1) After this the Lord appointed seventy-two others and sent them two by two ahead of Him to every town and place where He was about to go. 2) He told them, ‘The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few.

Sunday 25th May 2025 - Central AM & PMSunday 1st June 2026 - West and North SitesSpeaker: Alice MeadsAlice helps us to develop an important tool for us to share the Gospel - the ability to share the story of our own journey into faith in Jesus. Reminding us of Peter's instruction that we must "Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have", she encourages us to prepare a short version of our story - just one or two minutes - which we can be ready to share whenever we get the opportunity.To help in this, Alice suggests that we record the answers the following questions: 1. How did you come to follow Jesus? 2. What difference has this made in your life? - Where were you before? - Where are you now? - Where do you want to be? Key words that may help you answer this: purpose, meaning, forgiveness, freedom, love, family, wholeness, acceptance, identity (taken from Phill Knox: Story Bearer, p57) 3. What is the invitation to the person listening?_________________1 Peter 3 v 8-168) Finally, all of you, be like-minded, be sympathetic, love one another, be compassionate and humble. 9) Do not repay evil with evil or insult with insult. On the contrary, repay evil with blessing, because to this you were called so that you may inherit a blessing. 10) For,“Whoever would love life    and see good daysmust keep their tongue from evil    and their lips from deceitful speech.11) They must turn from evil and do good;    they must seek peace and pursue it.12) For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous    and his ears are attentive to their prayer,but the face of the Lord is against those who do evil.”13) Who is going to harm you if you are eager to do good? 14) But even if you should suffer for what is right, you are blessed. “Do not fear their threats; do not be frightened.”15) But in your hearts revere Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect, 16) keeping a clear conscience, so that those who speak maliciously against your good behavior in Christ may be ashamed of their slander. _________________________Recorded at North Site - 01Jun2025

He highlights the growing openness to faith in society, and encourages us to engage in evangelism through prayer, compassion, and courage._________________Acts 8 v 26-4026)  Now an angel of the Lord said to Philip, ‘Go south to the road – the desert road – that goes down from Jerusalem to Gaza.' 27)  So he started out, and on his way he met an Ethiopian eunuch, an important official in charge of all the treasury of the Kandake (which means ‘queen of the Ethiopians'). This man had gone to Jerusalem to worship, 28)  and on his way home was sitting in his chariot reading the Book of Isaiah the prophet. 29)  The Spirit told Philip, ‘Go to that chariot and stay near it.'30) Then Philip ran up to the chariot and heard the man reading Isaiah the prophet. ‘Do you understand what you are reading?' Philip asked.31)  ‘How can I,' he said, ‘unless someone explains it to me?' So he invited Philip to come up and sit with him.32)  This is the passage of Scripture the eunuch was reading:‘He was led like a sheep to the slaughter,    and as a lamb before its shearer is silent,    so he did not open his mouth.33)  In his humiliation he was deprived of justice.    Who can speak of his descendants?    For his life was taken from the earth.'[b]34)  The eunuch asked Philip, ‘Tell me, please, who is the prophet talking about, himself or someone else?' 35)  Then Philip began with that very passage of Scripture and told him the good news about Jesus.36 ) As they travelled along the road, they came to some water and the eunuch said, ‘Look, here is water. What can stand in the way of my being baptised?'  38)  And he gave orders to stop the chariot. Then both Philip and the eunuch went down into the water and Philip baptised him. 39)  When they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord suddenly took Philip away, and the eunuch did not see him again, but went on his way rejoicing. 40)  Philip, however, appeared at Azotus and travelled about, preaching the gospel in all the towns until he reached Caesarea.Recorded at West Site - 11May2025

Sunday 4th May 2025 - West and North SitesSunday 11th May 2025 - Central AM & PMSpeaker - James RankineJames begins a new series by reminding us that, through the opening chapters of the Gospels, the invitation that Jesus extends to His disciples, and to us, is to "Come". Then Jesus' call shifts from “Come” to “Go”—sending first his disciples, and now, every believer into the world to share the gospel. In a season of openness, all Christians are called to go together, pray, recognize spiritual battle, seek God's favour, and stand in Christ's authority to make disciples._________________________Luke 10 v 1-211) After this the Lord appointed seventy-two others and sent them two by two ahead of him to every town and place where he was about to go. 2) He told them, “The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field. 3) Go! I am sending you out like lambs among wolves. 4) Do not take a purse or bag or sandals; and do not greet anyone on the road.5) “When you enter a house, first say, ‘Peace to this house.' 6 If someone who promotes peace is there, your peace will rest on them; if not, it will return to you. 7) Stay there, eating and drinking whatever they give you, for the worker deserves his wages. Do not move around from house to house.8) “When you enter a town and are welcomed, eat what is offered to you. 9) Heal the sick who are there and tell them, ‘The kingdom of God has come near to you.' 10) But when you enter a town and are not welcomed, go into its streets and say, 11) ‘Even the dust of your town we wipe from our feet as a warning to you. Yet be sure of this: The kingdom of God has come near.' 12) I tell you, it will be more bearable on that day for Sodom than for that town.13) “Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the miracles that were performed in you had been performed in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago, sitting in sackcloth and ashes. 14 But it will be more bearable for Tyre and Sidon at the judgment than for you. 15) And you, Capernaum, will you be lifted to the heavens? No, you will go down to Hades.16) “Whoever listens to you listens to me; whoever rejects you rejects me; but whoever rejects me rejects him who sent me.”17) The seventy-two returned with joy and said, “Lord, even the demons submit to us in your name.”18) He replied, “I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven. 19) I have given you authority to trample on snakes and scorpions and to overcome all the power of the enemy; nothing will harm you. 20) However, do not rejoice that the spirits submit to you, but rejoice that your names are written in heaven.”21) At that time Jesus, full of joy through the Holy Spirit, said, “I praise you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and learned, and revealed them to little children. Yes, Father, for this is what you were pleased to do.Recorded at West Site - 04May2025

Sunday 27th April 2025 - West and North SitesSunday 4th May 2025 - Central AM & PMSpeaker - Alice MeadsIn an extension to the series called The Last Week, Alice speaks about two events that took place in the week following the Lord's resurrection - when the risen Jesus appeared twice to His disciples. _______________________John 20 v 24-31:24) Now Thomas (also known as Didymus [twin]), one of the Twelve, was not with the disciples when Jesus came. 25 ) So the other disciples told him, “We have seen the Lord!”But he said to them, “Unless I see the nail marks in his hands and put my finger where the nails were, and put my hand into his side, I will not believe.”26) A week later his disciples were in the house again, and Thomas was with them. Though the doors were locked, Jesus came and stood among them and said, “Peace be with you!” 27) Then he said to Thomas, “Put your finger here; see my hands. Reach out your hand and put it into my side. Stop doubting and believe.”28) Thomas said to him, “My Lord and my God!”29) Then Jesus told him, “Because you have seen me, you have believed; blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.”30) Jesus performed many other signs in the presence of his disciples, which are not recorded in this book. 31 But these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name.___________________________Recorded at North Site - 27Apr2025

Sunday 20th April 2025 - North SiteSpeaker - Steph LeadbetterSteph shares the wonder, victory and power of the Easter story, and two of our Vineyard North family share what resurrection means to them.______________________Luke 24 v 1-121) On the first day of the week, very early in the morning, the women took the spices they had prepared and went to the tomb. 2)  They found the stone rolled away from the tomb, 3)  but when they entered, they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus. 4)  While they were wondering about this, suddenly two men in clothes that gleamed like lightning stood beside them. 5)  In their fright the women bowed down with their faces to the ground, but the men said to them, ‘Why do you look for the living among the dead? 6)  He is not here; he has risen! Remember how he told you, while he was still with you in Galilee: 7)  “The Son of Man must be delivered over to the hands of sinners, be crucified and on the third day be raised again.”' 8)  Then they remembered his words.9)  When they came back from the tomb, they told all these things to the Eleven and to all the others. 10)  It was Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Mary the mother of James, and the others with them who told this to the apostles. 11)  But they did not believe the women, because their words seemed to them like nonsense. 12)  Peter, however, got up and ran to the tomb. Bending over, he saw the strips of linen lying by themselves, and he went away, wondering to himself what had happened._________________________Recorded at North Site - 20Apr2025

Untie them and bring them to Me. 3)  If anyone says anything to you, say that the Lord needs them, and he will send them right away.'4)  This took place to fulfill what was spoken through the prophet:5)  ‘Say to Daughter Zion,    “See, your King comes to you,gentle and riding on a donkey,    and on a colt, the foal of a donkey.”'6)  The disciples went and did as Jesus had instructed them. 7)  They brought the donkey and the colt and placed their cloaks on them for Jesus to sit on. 8)  A very large crowd spread their cloaks on the road, while others cut branches from the trees and spread them on the road. 9)  The crowds that went ahead of Him and those that followed shouted,‘Hosanna to the Son of David!'‘Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!'‘Hosanna in the highest heaven!'10 When Jesus entered Jerusalem, the whole city was stirred and asked, ‘Who is this?'11 The crowds answered, ‘This is Jesus, the prophet from Nazareth in Galilee.'____________________________Recorded at the West site - 13Apr2025

Stay here and keep watch with Me.'39 Going a little farther, He fell with His face to the ground and prayed, ‘My Father, if it is possible, may this cup be taken from Me. Yet not as I will, but as You will.'40) Then He returned to His disciples and found them sleeping. ‘Couldn't you men keep watch with Me for one hour?' he asked Peter. 41)  ‘Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.'42)  He went away a second time and prayed, ‘My Father, if it is not possible for this cup to be taken away unless I drink it, may Your will be done.'43)  When He came back, He again found them sleeping, because their eyes were heavy. 44)  So He left them and went away once more and prayed the third time, saying the same thing.45)  Then He returned to the disciples and said to them, ‘Are you still sleeping and resting? Look, the hour has come, and the Son of Man is delivered into the hands of sinners. 46)  Rise! Let us go! Here comes My betrayer!'Recorded at North Site - 06Apr2025

She has done a beautiful thing to me. 11)  The poor you will always have with you, but you will not always have me. 12) When she poured this perfume on my body, she did it to prepare me for burial. 13)  Truly I tell you, wherever this gospel is preached throughout the world, what she has done will also be told, in memory of her.”Recorded at Central Site - 30Mar2025

Sunday 30th March 2025 - West and North SitesSpeaker - Matthew MeadsMatt continues our Easter 2025 series looking at one of the key events of the week leading to the crucifixion of the Lord, focusing on his final meal, shared with his disciples._________________Matthew 28 v 17-3017) On the first day of the Festival of Unleavened Bread, the disciples came to Jesus and asked, “Where do you want us to make preparations for you to eat the Passover?”18) He replied, “Go into the city to a certain man and tell him, ‘The Teacher says: My appointed time is near. I am going to celebrate the Passover with My disciples at your house.'” 19) So the disciples did as Jesus had directed them and prepared the Passover. 20) When evening came, Jesus was reclining at the table with the Twelve. 21) And while they were eating, He said, “Truly I tell you, one of you will betray me.”22) They were very sad and began to say to him one after the other, “Surely you don't mean me, Lord?”23) Jesus replied, “The one who has dipped his hand into the bowl with Me will betray me. 24) The Son of Man will go just as it is written about Him. But woe to that man who betrays the Son of Man! It would be better for him if he had not been born.”25) Then Judas, the one who would betray him, said, “Surely You don't mean me, Rabbi?”Jesus answered, “You have said so.”26) While they were eating, Jesus took bread, and when He had given thanks, He broke it and gave it to his disciples, saying, “Take and eat; this is My body.”27) Then He took a cup, and when He had given thanks, he gave it to them, saying, “Drink from it, all of you. 28) This is My blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins.29) I tell you, I will not drink from this fruit of the vine from now on until that day when I drink it new with you in My Father's kingdom.”30) When they had sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.___________________Recorded at West Site - 30Mar2025

Please come and put your hands on her so that she will be healed and live.' 24)  So Jesus went with him.A large crowd followed and pressed round him. 25)  And a woman was there who had been subject to bleeding for twelve years. 26)  She had suffered a great deal under the care of many doctors and had spent all she had, yet instead of getting better she grew worse. 27)  When she heard about Jesus, she came up behind him in the crowd and touched his cloak, 28)  because she thought, ‘If I just touch his clothes, I will be healed.' 29)  Immediately her bleeding stopped and she felt in her body that she was freed from her suffering.30)  At once Jesus realised that power had gone out from him. He turned round in the crowd and asked, ‘Who touched my clothes?'31)  ‘You see the people crowding against you,' his disciples answered, ‘and yet you can ask, “Who touched me?”'32)  But Jesus kept looking around to see who had done it. 33)  Then the woman, knowing what had happened to her, came and fell at his feet and, trembling with fear, told him the whole truth. 34)  He said to her, ‘Daughter, your faith has healed you. Go in peace and be freed from your suffering.'35)  While Jesus was still speaking, some people came from the house of Jairus, the synagogue leader. ‘Your daughter is dead,' they said. ‘Why bother the teacher anymore?'36)  Overhearing what they said, Jesus told him, ‘Don't be afraid; just believe.'37)  He did not let anyone follow him except Peter, James and John the brother of James. 38)  When they came to the home of the synagogue leader, Jesus saw a commotion, with people crying and wailing loudly. 39)  He went in and said to them, ‘Why all this commotion and wailing? The child is not dead but asleep.' 40)  But they laughed at him.After he put them all out, he took the child's father and mother and the disciples who were with him, and went in where the child was. 41)  He took her by the hand and said to her, ‘Talitha koum!' (which means ‘Little girl, I say to you, get up!'). 42)  Immediately the girl stood up and began to walk around (she was twelve years old). At this they were completely astonished. 43)  He gave strict orders not to let anyone know about this, and told them to give her something to eat.___________________Recorded at West Site - 23Mar2025

Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field. 3)  Go! I am sending you out like lambs among wolves. 4)  Do not take a purse or bag or sandals; and do not greet anyone on the road.5 ) ‘When you enter a house, first say, “Peace to this house.” 6) If someone who promotes peace is there, your peace will rest on them; if not, it will return to you. 7)  Stay there, eating and drinking whatever they give you, for the worker deserves his wages. Do not move around from house to house.8)  ‘When you enter a town and are welcomed, eat what is offered to you. 9)  Heal those there who are ill and tell them, “The kingdom of God has come near to you.”Recorded at Central AM - 02Mar2025
