Listen regularly to Nuneaton Christian Fellowship's Sunday Morning Talk. A variety of topics are addressed, all firmly based on the Bible. We are situated in the centre of England.
We are encouraged to pray more than ever. We are individuals but part of a community. As we share our lives together, let us make prayer the centre of it. Looking at the PowerPoint slides on our website will help you to understand this Talk more.
We briefly hear what WEC does and are reminded of the place of sacrifice in our Christian Walk. Using a few statistics we are reminded that the task of taking the Good News of Jesus is far from complete. We are all called to be a part of God’s Mission to disciple others. We don’t need to wait for a special call in order to get going. Matthew 28:19, 20 and Luke 14:28, 33 are discussed. Are we willing to give up everything for the sake of the Gospel? In order for us to disciple others in real repe...
We are reminded that God heals through the story of Naaman in 2 Kings 5. We are also encouraged to worship God as we seek Him.
To celebrate Pentecost we held an International Service, considering how the Church might be vary in different countries, but it is basicially the same: the Bride of Christ. Thew Service consisted of many parts: Welcome and intro (00:00), Memoery Verse (00:28), Quiz (02:54), Video on the The Church: its history and diversity (08:41), Prayer time introduction (11:18), Memeory Verse (13:56), How is the Church similar/different in other countries? (15:05), Communion (20:08), Craft (23:14), Talk by ...
In this last of the I Am Talks, we are reminded that nothing is outside of Jesus' control. Our response must be to worship and trust Him. Jesus is coming back. Are we ready? Are we concerned with the empty chair?
Jesus is the Messiah. What kind of Messiah was expected during the Gospel Times? We look at how the differences between the Jews and Samaritans emerged towards Messiahship. God was doing something bigger than the differences that existed though. We have one King and one Messiah, so we are one Family. Jesus can unite the Jews and Samaritans. Jesus can unite us all. We are called to bring unity where we go. We should show that we are one Family. Our task is to continue His work. Jesus urges us to ...
In this Talk, based primarily on John 6:35, we hear about the persecutions that happened to the Church and other background events to the Gospel of John. We are also reminded of the link back to Exodus chapter 3. What is the significance of bread in the Old Testament? Jesus still provides and delivers.Seung Jin’s outline is available on our website.
What did Jesus mean when He said this? In this message we get to hear the context of the imagery from the history of Israel. We are encouraged to bear fruit, abide in Jesus and to love one another. Are we relying more on our talents and experience than we used to? Do we pray less than we used to as we work out our calling? All of Andy's PowerPoint slides are on our website. It will be useful to look at them as you listen to this message.
Jesus is radical. Is He arrogant for making such a significant statement about being The Door/Gate? No. Listen as we discover that Jesus provides security, safety and sustenance. What does this message imply we should be doing ourselves?
1). The Darkness of the World(1 John 5:19. John 3:19)2). The Light in the World.(John 9: 5. John 1: 4)3). The Light in Us.(1 John 1:7)

Is it narrow minded and bigoted to regard Jesus as only Way, the only Truth and the only Life? What does all of this mean anyway?
In this Talk we hear about the how John's Gospel is different to the other three. We learn about the significance of the phrase "I Am" and how we should respond to Jesus being our Good Shepherd.If you're able, follow the printed Outline of this Talk on our website, as you will be able to see all of the slides then.

There are several different ways to baptise. At NCF our tradition is to totally immerse someone.We should baptise and this is clear in the Scripture. How it is done is not so clear in the Bible. Why we do it is more important than how we do it.It is an initiation as well as a celebration. Adults can understand and respond to the Gospel. Baptism symbolises death and newness of life. We should be baptised to show that our sins are buried and we have new life.We examine 1 Corinthians 10:1-4, Acts 2...
“The great tragedy of life is not unanswered prayer but unoffered prayer.” (FB Meyer)We are encouraged in Colossians 4:2-6 to be devoted to prayer and we are reminded that Jesus was passionate in prayer while on earth. It is good to be thankful as we pray too.
What is Baptism all about? Based on Matthew 28:18-20 and Acts 2:38,39 we are reminded of the four steps to Initation Baptism. Part 2 is coming on 19th March.
Our Series is brought to a close by looking at the final King of each Kingdom: King Zedekiah (Judah) and King Hoshea (Israel). Though they reigned around 140 years apart there are many similarities between their characters and the times in which they lived. Their lives are mirrored. We look at some of the history of the period, including inter-state relations. We are reminded how important the Prophets are at this time. There is hope when we submit to God even when judgement is forecast. We need...
Looking in 2 Kings 22, 23 and 2 Chronicles 34, 35 we find a king that makes us smile. Two key words of his reign are Renewal and Revival.Some kings had a good start in life yet ruled Judah in an evil way. Josiah’s brilliant reign is a miracle because of the poor inheritance he gained from his dad and grandad. At the start of his reign the Temple in Jerusalem and worship in general was in a terrible state. Josiah didn’t make a casual or pathetic change – he really went for it as he realised the h...
In this Talk we hear about King Manasseh, his life and legacy, as well as the background to his reign. He set up high places in Judah and can be seen as an evil king for much of his reign. Are there high places in our own lives? We can’t be the best disciple of Jesus if we live dual lives –tolerating our own sins (like a plank) but getting annoyed by others’ sins (their speck). There is a battle going on, but God is with us and for us. Chronicles describes how Manasseh repented, just like Paul o...
Hezekiah was a good King of Judah. He sought God through reading the Scriptures that existed then, listening to Isaiah and praying. However we learn that he was also proud on occasions.
We look further into the background of the Kings and Prophets of the Divided Kingdom. Why are some of the Kings mentioned only in the Books of Kings and some in both Kings and Chronicles? Who wrote these books and why?Jehu’s story is mostly told in 2 Kings 9 and 10. He was certainly appointed by God and was perhaps the best King that the northern Kingdom had. However, he didn’t follow through totally with the things that God had asked him to do. He let idolatrous worship continue. He tolerated e...
Another good King is focussed on. Jehoshaphat's heart was for God. Does anything obscure our view of Christ? Does our life revolve around Him? Let's align ourselves fully with God. "...Christ in you, the hope of glory." (Colossians 1:27)
These Tributes were recorded at TaeDae's Funeral at Nuneaton Christian Fellowship on 19th January 2017.00.00 - Miss HeeJin Yoon (Tribute); 07.19 - Mr HyungJin Yoon (Tribute); 17.55 - Rev Dr Nik Howarth (Tribute); 26:12 - Rev David Rhodes (Prayer); 29:30 - Rev Paul Wood (1 Corinthians 15:50-58); 32:37 - Rev Professor Bob Akroyd (Revelation 21:1-5); 34:40 - Rev Dr Fergus Macdonald (Sermon); 49:20 - Rev Dr Daniel Choi (Final Blessing); 51:13 - Rev Paul Wood (Announcement).The hymns sung in the Serv...
King Jeroboam set the tone for evil leadership in the northern kingdom of Israel. Yahweh’s rule was utterly rejected.It was a dark nation under King Ahab’s rule too. Alliances were made with other neighbouring nations for when things were bad for them. This led Ahab to marry Jezebel. She brought many false prophets with her when she moved to Samaria. The killing of God’s people certainly happened at this time. Elijah is a light shining in the bleak darkness and evil of the time. God cannot be ov...
We look at the background to why Jeroboam became King, which primarily involves King Solomon. Jeroboam could have been a very good King indeed but turned out badly. He is the “What If?” King. He can be compared to King David in many ways. The way they worshipped and encouraged others to worship is what separates them.Do we involve God in the major decisions of our lives? Do we worship God the way He desires to be worshipped within our personalities? Do we allow the circumstances of our lives to ...
In this Talk we learn a little about King Rehoboam’s reign and the three Kings of “unified” Israel that preceded him. How can we apply these incidents to our own lives? Pray for those in authority, be more sensitive to others and be more sensitive to God. Listening to and then obeying God will cost us. We have many empty chairs and a hidden baptistry. By praying, fasting and then obeying God in an earnest manner we will see NCF change as we will be changed individually. Are we willing to choose ...
We are reminded how the shepherds encountered the angels and then went to see Jesus.At the end we pray for the Yoon family, after hearing about the death of our good friend Rev TaeDae Yoon, who died on 21st December.
We hear about how Mary, Joseph, Simeon and Anna were ready for God when He acted in surprising ways in their lives.
This Talk began with a YouTube video which featured Colonel HW Miller talking about what Christmas isn’t about. It can be viewed here:www.youtube.com/watch?v=AP37kQg0w_4Not everybody enjoys Christmas. Perhaps those who are ill, have experienced death in the family recently, those in debt and those in wars.Three well-known Kings from the Christmas story are briefly discussed, as well as one who is much less known. King Herod (Alex), Caesar Augustus (Keith) and King Jesus (Andy) are described with...
