What does Pentecost mean to you? Why is Pentecost so Important? Edited and published by Jonathan Bugg (Manor Court Baptist) this video can be found at: https://www.yout...

Online Together 03 - 5th April 2020

In our first fully recorded Online Meeting we hear from John, Fiona, Malc, Ian and Grace. Jesus suffered greatly in His final physical week in Jerusalem. However, it's not an April Fool that God would take our punishment for sin. It might seem unbelievable, but it is definitely true. We all need to ask who Jesus is to us personally and then let Him stir and shake our lives. It was possible to edit a lot of the background sounds out, but you will still hear quite a few unexpected voices. You can ...

Online Together 01 - 22nd March 2020

Please give feedback to John (email or text) if y...

Three great Responses to have towards God

Prayer Sunday - Open our eyes Lord!

We explore several people in the Bible who didn't just see God, but perceived Him. This changed their lives. Are we ready for the cost that is necessary for us to actively listen to and watch out for God? Are we ready to actvely and aggressively seek God? How important is He to us? The heart of Christianity isn't to bring us comfort, but the power of God to change us. We all need changing! There are plenty of points made to help us to pray at home and not just when we meet together.

Don't stagnate

We know God a little, but He has the power to turn things upside down, doing unexpected things as we pray. God wants to continue to reveal Himself to us, but often we're stuck in a place from several years ago. Don't stagnate in your relationship with God. Allow God to reveal His names and character to you. There is much more to Christ than I know. Move me on in You God! Do you show compassion to others or are you more concerned with yourself?

Ezekiel: there is still hope

In our final Talk in this Series we are reminded that Ezekiel talks a lot about judgement, but God gives glimmers of hope through him too. Our sins are odious and ultimately deadly, but God is gracious and restores and reconciles us to Himself. We had no power whatsoever to do this ourselves. It is easy when we start to follow God to rely mostly on ourselves, but we need God much more in our lives than we think. He enables us to function properly. We desperately need His power in our lives. God ...

Ezekiel: God's Character

God's love is phenomenal. Justice and mercy are in balance with Him. We are encouraged to get to know God better and to postively fear Him.

Ezekiel: His Three Messages

We are reminded again of the context of what Ezekiel spoke about and then we are encouraged to remember that: 1/ We are individually responsible before God; 2/ Bad things happen - but we will never know how much God protcts us; 3/ God is the ultimate ruler and hope will prevail.

Ezekiel: Going Deeper

Ezekiel was shown a River that flowed from God's Temple. He was led through the water and it gradually got deeper, starting ankle deep and ending up so that it could only be swum in. We are reminded in this Talk that God calls us if we are thirsty for more of Him to get close to Him, look to Him and focus on Him. As we do that we discover that He is much much bigger than we think. He is unchanging - He can't be improved upon. Have we made ourselves too big in our own lives and allowed God to be ...

Ezekiel: a Watchman

God called Ezekiel as a Watchman for Judah and the surrounding countries. He had to lean forward and take action in order to fulfill this role. In this Talk we are encouraged to tidy our own lives up and to take an active role in God's Kingdom ourselves. We are reminded that we need to regularly spend time with God and that to thirst for more of God is a really good thing. From 32:43 we hear Rev Paul Wood briefly talking about his time as Minister at NCF as he and Lynne retire from what they hav...

Ezekiel: an Introduction

Ezekiel was a priest and prophet from Judah that went with the first group of exiles to Babylon in around 597BC. He was a street-preacher and an attention-seeker for God. The people of Judah were drab because of their sin, whereas Ezekiel was vibrant and showed a cascade of God's colours to other people. He waited on God and listened for His voice. Where are the Christian attention-seekers today? As we focus on God in our normal every day lives, let His vivid colours flow through us. Let His vib...

Ephesians 3:20

God is great, wonderful and awesome. He loves us and treats us brilliantly! The first 10:27 is of Davit briefly talking about her imminent Discipleship Training School with YWAM in America and then many people praying for her.

Come close, worship and be changed!

We have all done things in our lives that barr us from having a relationship with God. In His mercy, Jesus came and sorted out the problem of sin. Shepherds were invited to personally worship Jesus and they were changed. Some months later the magi came and worshipped Him too after travelling for many miles. In the 21st century we too have an Invitation from God to come close to Him, to worship and to be changed. Let's accept that Invitation today.

They were ready!

Mary and Joseph had never gone that way before, yet they were ready for what God asked them to do. It was momentous and required self-sacrifice, but they were ready for what God asked them to do! Are we ambitious for how God might work through us in 2020? Are we ready? What is our heart like? He has begun a good work in us, so let's be ready for that work to continue and develop in the coming months.

It's a funny old thing!

We start this Episode with a short monologue from Colonel Frank HW Miller, where we are encouraged to take off the unimportant Christmas wrappings. Then we are reminded that God loves us all and that people are changed for the better when they personally meet God. Many surprising things have happened in our lives and through the centuries, but the most surprsing thing of all is that God would come to earth to restore our relationship with Him. Mankind had rebelled against God, but He made a way ...

Speaking Out!

Using a person born in Nuneaton in 1910 (Mary Whitehouse) we are reminded that we, the Church, are to change society and not to leave it to politicians.We should stand up for God and not fear speaking out. As we pray, Lord let Your Kingdom come, let us be ready to adapt our lives to what He wants. Is 2020 a year of opportunity for Christians? Is it a new beginning? Are we ready to pray, to preach and to take action on behalf of others?
