    The message to the church in Sardis and it’s relevance to us today

    Over the last few weeks in the United Reformed Church, we’ve been looking at the stories of some churches, and seeing what they might have to say to us today. These stories are in the book of Revelation, and they take the form of letters that were written to these churches. Like all of the book ...read more

    Examing the vital role of the local church in the believer’s life

    CH__CH; What is missing? UR! I saw this humorous quote on a church sign several years ago, and it has always stuck with me. The church is not complete without "U"! Likewise, a Christian’s life can never be complete apart from a healthy, Bible believing, Spirit filled church. It goes hand in ...read more

    the next sermon in the series on the seven churches of Asia

    And so we come to the church at Thyatira. This is the longest of the seven letters, which, ironically, was written to the smallest and least important city. Unlike the other towns, we don’t know very much about Thyatira, so it’s not so easy to understand and interpret the contents of the letter. ...read more

    This message calls the church, collectively and individually, to be "up to date" in their mission of reaching people.

    “A Church for Today” 1 Corinthians 9:19-24 * Among the church culture in America it has become common to identify local churches with some troubling terms; “Contemporary or Traditional.” Why do I say these terms are troubling? Because the meaning of these words in this context has little to do ...read more

    This sermon aims to explore the importance and benefits of tithing, emphasizing that all we have comes from God and we should honor Him by being cheerful givers.

    Good morning, church family! Today, we are going to dive into a topic that sometimes makes us squirm in our seats a little. But it's one that is very important to our faith and our relationship with God. It's all about giving - our generosity in response to God's generosity. Let's take a moment to ...read more

    There are specific reasons Christ opened the door of opportunity for the church at Philadelphia. Christ also gives promises to churches, though they be of a little strength, who respond in faith by going through the door of opportunity.

    In the Bible “church” is by definition either all of the disciples of Jesus Christ or a specific group of believers. In 1 Timothy chapter 5, The Apostle Paul describes the church as people dedicated to doing whatever it takes to reach out and help others

    We continue in our series Hope Found Here, and this month our focus is on Hope in the Church. Many people associate the word “church” with a building. Often something old, draughty, with uncomfortable wooden pews and a smell of damp. I have spoken to people in Ashingdon and Rayleigh who did not ...read more

    Ephesians 4:1-6 We have begun to look at what theologians and church fathers across the centuries have called the "marks" or the "notes" of the church. Coming without apology from an evangelical and scriptural perspective, still we are seeking to avoid the unproductive tension ...read more

    Are we participants or spectators? That is a question that each believer needs to ask themselves. The church is on mission. Believers need to make a choice.

    Introduction When I was preparing this sermon I felt God ask me two questions. The first question that I felt God ask me: "What is your passion?" Music, Enviroment, Work, Politics, Technology, Cooking, Sports (Basketball, Baseball, Football, Soccer Etc.), Sports in particular provided me with a ...read more
