This March and April, our series looking at John's gospel examines key encounters people had with Jesus in the last phase of his ministry as we lead up to Easter. We'll be looking at everything from healing and miracles, to worship and discipleship, how he dealt with deception and despair, then ultimately hope and new beginnings.Come on the journey with us either in person or on the weekly livestream.

This February, we want you to come on a journey of well-being and wholeness as we dive into a new series about understanding our identity in God. We will be looking at three aspects of the rich identity that God gives to all his people and look at how it helps us to deepen our relationship with God, work out our personal sense of identity and find wholeness, peace and purpose in the world. Come on the journey with us either in person or on the weekly livestream.

As we go into the New Year this January, our focus is on seeking to grow in our own personal prayer life. We'll be celebrating our annual Prayer Week as Woodlands Church Family and our Sunday series will provide guidance on what the Bible says about how to pray, fast and connect with God.Come on the journey with us either in person or on the weekly livestream.

This October, we're looking at the book of Acts which begins with Jesus ascending to heaven and a promise from angels that this same Jesus will return. The rest of the book depicts the Church carrying on the ministry of 'this same Jesus' in the same way that He had demonstrated the nature of God's Kingdom in his incarnate life. We are in that great tradition of following and demonstrating that same Jesus, and our series in Acts is something of a blueprint for His Church to follow in our own time as we point to the one who is the same 'yesterday, today and forever.'Come on the journey with us either in person or on the weekly livestream.

When Brittany and Matt Dobson set out to find suitable, well fitting outdoor camouflage gear for their two boys, they hit a giant wall.  They found that there was very little to no options for camo clothes for small kids. The challenges of that search sparked the idea and passion to create Tiny Goose Apparel to ensure that all other parents who wish to raise their children in the outdoors didn't have to face the same challenges they had when it came to outfitting their kids in warm, comfortable camo clothes. They set out to make their company unique from the ground up with their own camo design, the highest quality kids camo on the market and unrivaled customer service/accessibility to Canada & USA.  Their roots run deep into waterfowl, but they feel their products are suitable for any outdoor adventure that your little ones can get into.This is their story - enjoy!!#GoHuntBirds | #evolve | #ShareBirdHuntingwww.GoHuntBirds.com

Before Easter we take a short break to talk about Baptism at our 7pm Service. April 3rdIf you're interested in getting Baptised, get in touch with your small group or pastorate leader.

In First Corinthians, we see how Paul is calling for the believers to mature in their faith. They made a big deal of small insignificant issues the church faced. When we look at some of what they were struggling with, we actually can see struggles the church today struggles with. To sum up some of what Paul was saying, we need to get over ourselves and realize that our own wisdom is nothing compared to Christ.

November 5/6 in Glasgow saw some of the largest political mobilisations since the onslaught of the Covid pandemic. The catalyst was the bosses' summit, COP26, a forum to find ‘solutions' to limit global warming, but more importantly, to save the capitalist system. The first protest on the Friday saw a march of up to 20,000 strong – which was an overwhelmingly youthful demonstration organised by Fridays for Future, with a huge openness to the ideas that a systemic change to the profit-driven rottenness of capitalism is necessary. The Saturday demo, organised by the COP Coalition, was a larger demonstration of around 70,000 and not so youthful, but nevertheless the widespread lack of faith in COP to deliver a workable solution for the vast majority of humanity was clear to see. This episode is a recording of the post demo meeting organised by the Socialist Party's sister organisation - Socialist Party Scotland and the CWI. We hear from Matt Dobson from Socialist Party Scotland and Mark Best from the Socialist Party. After tens of thousands marched and walked out in Glasgow and across the world in response to the failure of the UN COP26 summit, many are discussing what next for the climate strike movement. The situation is critical. Major capitalist powers, despite all their rhetoric around the Glasgow Climate pact, are stepping up oil production and using reserves to combat an energy price hike. How is mass pressure going to be built to fight for the aspirations of the climate movement when the capitalists meet again in Egypt for COP27? The environmental crisis wrought by unchecked capitalist greed is just one of the clearest examples of how the that system offers no future for the vast majority of humanity. Workers and youth are increasingly drawing that conclusion. We would appeal to them to discuss with us, join us and fight for the socialist transformation of society.

All throughout scripture we see that God's methods and His timing point to His strength not ours. No matter what we face, or how long we wait, we also see that God always fulfills His promises. Believers should then respond in faith when God calls us to be a part in His redemptive plans. As people anticipating the impossible let us live in a posture of faith and submission.

During October at our 7pm services, we're looking at the Gospel of Mark. 3 October 2021 - 7pm ServiceHope Has a Name SeriesDuring October at our 7pm services, we're looking at the book of Mark. The apostle Mark's gospel is fast paced and concise, sharing an overview of key facets about Jesus' ministry and the good news He gives to us. This week, Matt is looking at what Mark says about God's plan to prepare the way for Jesus and ultimately His restoration for the world. You can go deeper with this topic on your own or in your small group using the discussion notes below.DISCUSSION NOTESRead Mark 1Have you ever wondered why John the Baptist needed to come before Jesus? Surely God could have arrived unannounced onto the scene of human history.1. In what way did Jesus need someone to prepare the way for him?If the Incarnation was just about God showing us what he was like (Col 1v19 and Heb 1v3) through Jesus' teaching, healing, miracle and lifestyle then maybe he wouldn't have needed any preparation. But God is interested in forgiving us, rescuing us and restoring a friendship with him once again.2. From reading John's message to people, what was the content and how did he “prepare the way”?John 1v31 but the reason I came baptizing with water was that he might be revealed to Israel.”In the wilderness with all the trimmings of life removed, people became aware of themselves and their hearts were softened to realise that they weren't that good.3. How do you see these four things working out in your life as you seek to follow Jesus and prepare a way for Him to break into your world?RepentanceTo turn round from going my own way and start following God's way. Galatians 5v19 The acts of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery; 20 idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions 21 and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God.Ephesians 5 v3 But among you there must not be even a hint of sexual immorality, or of any kind of impurity, or of greed, because these are improper for God's holy people. 4 Nor should there be obscenity, foolish talk or coarse joking, which are out of place, but rather thanksgiving.ConfessionTo admit and own up to my faults and failings.James 5v16 Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed.ForgivenessShame taken away, restored to God, washed clean, guilt removed.John 1:29 The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him and said, “Look, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!Baptism in the Holy SpiritHow can we live a holy life making way for Jesus? We need the power and work of the Holy Spirit. How do you allow Jesus to fill you with his Spirit?

Our summer series is an open theme… 22 August 2021 - 7pm ServiceLife MessagesOn Sundays in August, a different person will be sharing a LIFE MESSAGE each week, we've asked the team to think of the thing they would most like to say to the Church. Matt is sharing with us about how character is important to him and asks us to think “Who are we becoming?”. We are also very excited to be baptising Andrew in tonight's service, who has a truly moving testimony and we are so glad to have him in our church family.

27 June 2021 - 8.30am ServiceAfter the Fire Series: Community of BelieversOver month of June we've been exploring what the Church looks like after Pentecost and how we can hold onto the power of the Spirit in our everyday lives. We'll be looking to the Bible to see what the early Church was like after this transformed experience of the gift of the Spirit. What should we look like today if the Spirit is at work in our midst as a Church?Also - remember our 11am and 7pm services looked at the same topic and Rachel Dave Mitchell and Matt Dobson shared with us. Check it out!DISCUSSION NOTESINTRODUCTION Read Acts 2:42-47 and Ephesians 4:11-13We believe that Church is a society that exists for the benefit of its non-members! Of course that doesn't mean we don't care for one another, quite the opposite. To be a minister has three dimensions. A minister is a ‘servant' literally. We minister to the Lord, to one another and to the world.We understand some people's ministry is more ‘Church centric', for others it is very much in the market place. We hope that for most people ministry is ‘both and'!The phrase ‘ministry to the Lord' sounds a bit quaint. What does it actually mean?I use the phrase ‘God loves to turn victims into ministers' as I think about people in the Bible and in my experience who have been able to be used by God despite (and sometimes because of) where they have come from. Is there anything that disqualifies us from being ministers?Ministry is for everyone but everyone should be equipped or trained as Ephesians 4 puts it. Where do you feel drawn to minister? What equipping do you need?As we re-open Church post pandemic, there are many needs in our Church programmes for volunteers, or ‘ministers'. What needs are you aware of at Woodlands? What training programmes are you aware of? Where might you be able to serve?Ministry can be both in practical service and more overtly spiritual realms. What does God value most? Do we over promote some aspects of ministry as a community to the detriment of others?Do you know which Woodlands team members most champion volunteering in and out of the Church?

Our Faith family must pursue honesty before God and one another to live out all that God has intended. A redemptive community must recognize their desperate need for God, and has a deep level of honesty & vulnerability. We will find power, comfort, and grace in honesty before God and one another.Our Redemptive Family (3)Honesty and TransparencyJames 5:13-161. Take a look at the research from BARNA https://www.barna.com/.../relationships-build-resilient.../ What surprises you? What challenges you? 2. Why is it hard to be vulnerable/transparent with others? What is stopping you? What do you think you would benefit by having a couple close relationships where you could be fully transparent? 3. What stops us from living out James 5:13-16? 4. What do you think outsiders would think if they walked into our small groups or worship gathering and saw the honesty and vulnerability from James 5:13-16? How would that help the gospel flourishing? 5. Transparency before others starts with being transparent before God. Is there something your need to lay at God’s feet? Is there a sin to confess, a burden you are holding on to, or brokenness you are experiencing? 6. What is one thing you are going to apply to your life from today’s scripture and message?

Jesus showed us that  following God is more important than the rules the the religious people enforced. Looking at His life here on earth, it was defined by compassion, love, grace and mercy. The compassion of Christ defines His heart, and should shape our lives. True compassion doesn't stand still, but moves towards action.Who He Is [Week 2]Matthew 9:35-39If Jesus is known for compassion… what are we known for? What is the church known for? How are we as Christ followers showing compassion? How could we do better? Where would Jesus be today? Where should you be today? Share a ministry opportunity you’ve had the that opened your eyes to the great spiritual needs around you. How might you pursue such opportunities in the near future? Do the massive spiritual needs of the world compel you to action or make you feel helpless? How might Jesus call to pray in vs 9:38 impact your reaction? How would you describe your attitude toward unbelieving coworkers and neighbors? What factors keep you from feeling compassion for them?

DNOW MAKE IT MATTER Acts 7Take a moment to read through Acts 7. What are some things that surprise you? What is something you take away from this scripture? How are you actively apart of His story right now? If you are not engaging in God’s story right now, what needs to change? What is holding you back from living on mission? Has there ever been a moment where you didn’t listen to a prompting of the Holy Spirit? What might be God leading you towards right now? Stephen had no clue how his step of obedience would impact the kingdom of Christ. The gospel scattering to the nations. The conversion of Saul to Paul and the flourishing of the church. What circumstances do you think God could be using now to impact the Kingdom of God? In what ways do you hope God will use your life? If you are doing this with another person would you pray for three things over them.1) That they would engage in God’s story.2) They would be sensitive to the Spirit and God at work in our lives.3) They would have a life of eternal impact.

We can all tend to forget, or move past things quickly and so easily. So as we celebrate the birth of Jesus through the Christmas season, we also should be reminding ourselves of the death and resurrection of Christ. Communion is not something we do only in remembrance as we look back. Communion is something that helps to unify us, focus us, and is a constant reminder of the Gospel we so desperately need.Scripture: 1 Corinthians 11:17-341) Pause and reflect on this past year. What is something that you learned about yourself? What did you learn about God? What did God want you to learn from the events of this past year? As you reflect on this be sure to grab a journal or note pad and write down some of these things2) Why is unity among the body of Christ so important? How does communion bring us together? 3) What about reflection is difficult? But why is important? As you reflect on Christ and your life is there anything significant you would be willing to share?4) When thinking about the Gospel what excites you the most? What are you most thankful for? Take a moment to thank God for this gift! 5) As we enter into a new year consider creating a new family rhythm of doing communion together… this could be at a meal weekly, or once a month. Consider the joy of reflecting on the gospel together as a family.

6 December 2020 - 11am ServiceChristmas at Woodlands Church: Light in the DarknessThis Sunday we started our new Christmas Series with a talk from Matt Dobson on ‘Light in the Darkness.’ Our 11am services will be live-streamed online until January. We hope you enjoy Christmas with us!Remember, our 7pm service is also looking at this topic, and Matt Dobson will be sharing with us. Check it out!STUDY NOTESThe four gospels each give a particular perspective on the life of Jesus. Unlike Matthew and Luke John’s gospel doesn’t give a nativity account. His gospel starts with the perspective of the eternal relationship between God and the Word, or as we understand that, the Father and the Son. The incarnation is introduced in those terms ‘the Word became flesh’ so we have no doubt that the Jesus we worship is also divine.Big idea: The word becoming flesh speaks of a ‘divine humility’ which is staggering! Is your view of God big enough to grasp the immensity of this act?In what way are human beings ‘in darkness’? Is that true for our present age as well as 1st Century Palestine? How is the darkness affected by Jesus becoming human?Why did so many of the highly religious, biblically educated people of Jesus time fail to recognise Him?Jesus ‘incarnate’ reveals to us exactly what God is like, (e.g. that God can self-limit, embrace suffering, allow his will not to be done for the sake of giving us the opportunity to freely turn to him and know him). How does your understanding of Go and relationship with Him resonate with those truths?Jesus once said to his followers ‘You are the light of the World’. How can we be that light today? Jesus commissioned his followers (e.g. Paul in Acts 26) to call people from darkness to light. Ask God to show you how you can point people to Jesus this Christmas.

18 October 2020 - 11am ServiceUnited We Stand: Welcome and InculsionThis Sunday we continue our preaching series United We Stand with a message from Rachel Riddall on ‘Welcome and Inclusion’. As a Church, unity is one of our defining values. Without unity, we are unlikely to see our city transformed. In practice, there can be a ‘drag’ away from unity into parochial mindsets and divisions. As a body of believers, we want to actively seek to be unified, and in doing so, see positive transformation.Remember, our 7pm service is also looking at this topic, and Matt Dobson will be sharing with us. Check it out!You will find discussion notes below to help you go deeper with this topic during the week. DISCUSSION NOTESINTRODUCTION | Read Acts 15Much of the New Testament wrestles with issues around inclusion- of the Gentiles becoming part of the (Jewish heritage) people of God. Acts 15 is a key chapter exploring how the early Church managed to incorporate the Gentiles into the Christian family and how they were willing to modify deeply held and cherished practices in the light of what God was doing and deeper revelation and understanding of their mission and calling. STUDY QUESTIONSWhat is the difference between ‘welcome’ and ‘inclusion’?What inclusion issues are there for the Church today?What principles guided practices towards inclusion in Chapter 15 of Acts? How do we in our small groups make space for and include people? What is our strategy for this? How central to our purpose is growth, welcome and inclusion?What biblical guidelines are there for inclusion while holding on to key non negotiables? What might ‘non-negotiables’ be in your understanding?

19 July 2020 - 11am ServiceFruitfulness Today we are looking at FRUITFULNESS and John 15. Dave and Jo are hosting and we are excited to welcome Pastor Stephen McEwen from E5 to share a message on abiding with us.

Remember, our new 7pm service is being live-streamed from Woodies tonight! So do be sure to tune in later...Matt Dobson will also be preaching on the topic of abiding.STUDY NOTESIntroduction Here are some questions you might want to reflect on about 'fruitfulness' - read John 15:4-12.Spiritual connection is vital to spiritual health, just as relational connection is vital to relational health. Jesus had such a strong understand of abiding in the Father and 'only doing what I see the Father doing'. He calls and invites His followers to have that sort of relationship with Him.How do I remain in Christ, or rather what might cause me to cease abiding in Christ, as a Church community or an individual? ( For the early Church their Christ Centred, Cross Centred 'abiding' focus was key to them not slipping back into fruitless legalism. But modern Churches can become centred on a cause rather than centred on Christ and like the Church in Ephesus in Revelation 2, lose their first love).As an individual how do spiritual disciplines help me live out a moment by moment abiding, connecting with Christ?How does the work of and presence of the Spirit keep me abiding in Christ?Can good things be the enemy of the best, or can temptation and idolatry pull me away? The parable of the sower is a metaphor for abiding; the good soil 'retains' the seed.Abiding sounds peaceful. How can meditation and Christian mindfulness play its part in an abiding life?How can we abide when things are busy, crazy or scary?

October 20th 2019 7pm: Winner: Everyone care for the poor. (Galatians 2:9-10)At Woodlands we believe that the normal Christian life is participation in the cause of Christ. We have this saying for all followers of Jesus, ‘Everyone a witness, everyone a minister, everyone cares for the poor’. So, for us as a Church we ‘win’ when the witness of the Church helps people become followers of Jesus. We win when ordinary Christian men and women step out in ministry in the power of the Spirit. We win when poor and disadvantaged people receive tangible blessing in Jesus name. Download Discussion notes

Please join your host SUSAN KNOWLES as she welcomes MATT DOBSON to STAND FOR TRUTH RADIO. Matt is the Arizona State Director for CONCERNED VETERANS FOR AMERICA. We will be discussing Veterans' issues, the problems with the VA and what CVA and others are doing to help veterans.Matt Dobson enlisted in the United States Army in 2008, after two summers of wildland firefighting with the BLM. Upon graduation from Basic Training and U.S. Army Combat Medic School, he was assigned to the 101st Airborne Division, and deployed to Afghanistan. He later was assigned as training cadre at Fort Sam Houston. While there, he instructed trauma medical training to initial entry and current service members, as well as multiple rotations through a level one trauma center. He left the service a week shy of 5 years, and began working with CVA in February of 2015.WHAT IS CONCERNED VETERANS FOR AMERICA ALL ABOUT?:Simply put, CVA’s mission is to advocate for policies that will preserve the freedom and prosperity that we and our families so proudly fought and sacrificed to defend.The Goal of Concerned Veterans for America is to translate the experience, concerns and hopes unique to veterans and their families into a common vision of freedom.We apply this unique perspective to speak out on issues that threaten to cripple not only our economic and national security, but the spirit of opportunity and liberty that all Americans cherish. 

Matt Dobson ontwikkelde kleine, draagbare apparaten om deelnemers aan bijvoorbeeld een evenement onopvallend te volgen. Ze worden gedragen in of op kleding en deze apparaten vormen spontaan netwerken met omringende apparaten. Ze kunnen worden gebruikt voor het onderzoeken (en zelfs wijzigen van) sociaal gedrag. Gebruikers moeten zich niet bewust zijn van het apparaatje, anders zullen ze niet normaal werken. Als de gebruiker het apparaatje vergeet kunnen onderzoekers gegevens over ‘natuurlijke’ sociale interacties krijgen. Daarom zijn mobiele telefoons bijvoorbeeld niet geschikt, omdat deze regelmatig moeten worden opgeladen. Dobson ontwikkelde met zijn collega’s kleine, energiezuinige apparaten die weken of maanden werken zonder te worden opgeladen. Spreker: M.C. Dobson. Promotor: prof.dr.ir. M.R. van Steen, dr. S. Voulgaris. Faculteit: Faculteit der Exacte Wetenschappen. Datum: 08-10-2013
