Between January and March this year, we’re spending our Sunday services spending time looking at the book of John.
As John himself says:
'Jesus performed many other signs in the presence of his disciples, which are not recorded in this book. 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.’
Using John chapter 8, Tim Dobson looks at what it means to call Jesus the Light of the World.
Prayer is vital to our relationship with the Lord and, as a church, we want to press into prayer. What can we learn from the prayers of God’s people in the bible to help equip us and spur us on?
In this first talk of our new series, Tim Dobson asks what it means to have prayer at the very centre of our lives.
Tim Dobson introduces our new series, One Another, by looking at how we can show the love of Jesus to one another in our daily lives.
The Bible reference for this talk is John 13 v.33-35.
The psalmist says that the Bible is good for:
Refreshing the soul
Making wise the simple
Giving joy to the heart
Giving light to the eyes.
However, it was written so long ago, many people find it a challenge to read.
In this talk, Tim Dobson looks at how we can read and understand the Bible today, and the importance of doing so.
Continuing our series on Paul’s letters to Timothy, Tim Dobson looks at doctrine and what it means to our daily lives.
Towards the end of Tim’s talk, he mentions two helpful resources:
At first glance, Matthew’s genealogy just looks like a bunch of names. Look more closely and you’ll see a long line of men and women who waited to see the faithful God fulfil his promises.
So how do we wait faithfully for God? Tim Dobson investigates!
The COVID-19 pandemic has led to huge changes in the way most of us live our lives. Many previously secure jobs now look uncertain, and even a regular food shop can bring its own challenges. Entire industries have been altered and millions of people have been furloughed or face being made unemployed.
In such an uncertain time, where does faith fit in?
How relevant is church in a socially distancing world?
Tim Dobson joins us to help us to discover what the Bible says about God's heart for His church, and our place in it.
The closing chapters of Genesis contain moving stories of forgiveness.
We all struggle with forgiveness at some point in our lives, but holding on to anger, resentment and thoughts of revenge only cause suffering. When we do this, we become both the prisoner and the jailer.
How can we forgive, just as God has forgiven us?
In the last talk of our Prayer Power series, Tim Dobson looks at what the Bible says about fasting.
In this talk, Tim Dobson discusses how to listen for God and how to hear from Him.
You will also hear from Laura, who shares some examples from her own life of how she has heard from God.
Lost and Found
In the first of our Easter ‘Journey to the Cross’ series, Tim Dobson talks about God as a loving Father.
Discussing the difference between being lost and being found, we look at three stories Jesus told:
The Lost Sheep
The Lost Coin
The Lost Son
Tim Dobson speaks on Mary's Song: Luke 1:46-56.
In this series we look at some of the values of Church and some of the practices that are more flexible as we consider the challenges of the future.
It’s been said that ‘we are what we read’. What we fill our minds with will inevitably affect the way we write the story of our lives. What’s on your reading list?
Prayer is a defining habit of a follower of Jesus. Disciples say ‘teach us to pray’. John has a confidence in prayer that God hears us. Does this sort of confidence in God inspire more prayer which gives rise to more confidence?
