We are not Perfect - A Perfect Christmas?
Wednesday Dec 08, 2021
Wednesday Dec 08, 2021
This week we kick off our teaching series for the festive season, 'A Perfect Christmas?' which will be based in the nativity story of Matthew's Gospel. In so much Christmas imagery, advertising, stories, music and movies we are reminded of our culture's desire for a 'magical' and 'perfect' Christmas. Jamie asks whether our yearning for connection and wonder is at best misplaced, and at worse, a source of unnecessary stress. Matthew's Jesus story begins by painting a very different kind of picture: a context of scandal, trouble and strife in which we find very human and relatable people. We discover a God who seems very willing to work with people in all of their mess and 'imperfection'.

”Supper‘s Ready”!
Tuesday Nov 30, 2021
Tuesday Nov 30, 2021
On this first Sunday in Advent, we welcomed a visiting speaker, Rev Philip Amos. Philip was minister at New Life Church Worthing for 10 years, and will soon begin serving at Bushey Baptist Church.
Apparently, surveys suggest that the three most popular phrases to hear are "I love you", "I forgive you" and ... "Supper's Ready"! Philip Explains how these three are actually a perfect summary of the gospel message, and invites us to go on an 'Advent-ure' as we approach the Christmas season.

The Five Ways to Wellbeing
Wednesday Nov 24, 2021
Wednesday Nov 24, 2021
Upon being commissioned into his new role as coordinator of ‘The Haven’ (formerly known as the Wellbeing Project), Nick embarks on making the connection between wellbeing and our faith. We explore how everyone is on the wellbeing ‘spectrum’, and that Jesus has a desire for us to experience a healthy wellbeing. We consider ‘The Five Ways to Wellbeing’ and their connection with the Bible, and how investing in these ways can help develop our own wellbeing and discipleship journeys.

The Parable of the Sower
Monday Nov 08, 2021
Monday Nov 08, 2021
Sally shares from Luke's version of this famous parable. Often we think about the grain landing on and growing (or failing to grow) on different kinds of soil as describing different groups of people. But as Sally explores, we can each of us respond, or fail to respond to God's word in those ways at different times; Scripture helps to highlight the struggles that we face, but also gives us some solid advice to lead us towards 'fruitfulness'.

A Tale of Two Churches - Act Now!
Monday Oct 18, 2021
Monday Oct 18, 2021
The first half of Acts Chapter 11 is based in the church in Jerusalem, where Nick highlights how the 'us and them' mentality permeates humankind and much of the Church today. In contrast, we also consider the church in Antioch in the 2nd half of the chapter - a church that does amazing things by keeping in rhythm with God. What can we learn from these two churches about how we can be a Holy Spirit driven community?

Peter Shares the Gospel - Act Now!
Monday Oct 11, 2021
Monday Oct 11, 2021
Continuing our series in Acts, we look at the second half of Peter’s encounter with Cornelius in Ch10. This gives us an insight into how Peter chooses to ‘share the gospel’: what he does say, and crucially what he doesn’t. Jamie considers how this might inform the way we go about the task of evangelism.

For our Harvest family service we were visited by Paul from Bognor Foodbank. Also, we looked at the teaching about ‘gleaning’ found in the book of Leviticus, and explored the kind of spirituality that it reveals.
