A community following Jesus, playing our part in the renewal of Southampton.
Sam kicked off the new year helping us look at the Love God and how God is Love, He reveals His love and His love changes us.
In the next part of our journey through Advent, Chris takes us through the story of Simeon, who had been waiting in eager anticipation for the consolation of his people in the Messiah. Through his example, we see how we can move from a platform mentality where our desires are shaped around us, to a pillars mentality, where our lives become about more than just ourselves - even through the hardest of times, as we await the renewal of all things.
Katy reflects on the kind of Joy on offer at Christmas; not a fleeting feeling, but a gift of hope that lasts forever.
In the final part of our Seven Letters series, Jon preaches from Revelation 3:14-22 on the letter to Laodicea. We learn that with Jesus, complete transformation is possible and when he knocks, we just have to answer the door and let him in.
At our baptism celebration, Emily shared what it means to step into the new life that is on offer to each of us when we choose to follow Jesus.
Jon shares a short reflection on how living with a kingdom perspective leads to a life of faith over fear.
Sam preaches on the letters to Thyatira and Sardis, from Revelation 2:18-3:6. Through this passage we see that Jesus desires a church both active in good deeds and wholly devoted to Him in undivided worship and love.
Katy unpacks the letters to the churches in Smyrna and Pergamum. Jesus writes to the churches under the crushing pressure of pain and culture. As we read these letters we encounter His grace; Jesus provides what he commands.
Emily speaks from Revelation 2:1-7 on the letter to Ephesus. The church has forgotten their first love, Jesus himself, and the letter reminds us that the church exists primarily to love Jesus and we should be with Him before we become like Him and do what He did.
Tom introduces us to the book of Revelation as we head into a series on the seven letters to the churches. The opening scene in Revelation; John’s Vision of Jesus, is a vision that should captivate and transform us.
Jon talks from Matthew 25 on three steps to faith-filled generosity as we conclude our vision series.
