  • Our Greatest Passion

    Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Apr 13, 2024
     | 584 views

    Are we clear on what our greatest passion must be?

    NOTE: This was a family service. Early in the service I tell the children’s story ‘Wherever you go, I want you to know’ by Melissa Kruger. You can download the images for the story free from the Good Book Company. I made them into a PowerPoint to accompany the story. EARLY IN THE SERVICE: Today ...read more

  • Addressing Sin In The Church

    Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Apr 29, 2024
     | 595 views

    Jesus has just told the Parable of the Good Shepherd. The shepherd goes after the straying sheep. Then Jesus spells out what WE need to do when we see a member of our church falling into sin and straying.

    INTRODUCTION We sometimes hurt people. I can think of times when I’ve hurt people. And people sometimes hurt us. I can think of times when I’ve been hurt. It happens in families, in workplaces and in churches. There was a time when Paul was planning to visit the church in Corinth. But he was ...read more

  • Forgive!

    Contributed by Simon Bartlett on May 5, 2024
     | 822 views

    Jesus tells us that we MUST forgive. We have a fundamental moral obligation to forgive. There is a terrible consequence if we don't forgive. But what does it mean to forgive?

    INTRODUCTION Today we’re looking at a passage about forgiveness. It may be the longest passage about forgiveness in the Bible and it’s extremely important. Forgiveness is a God-quality. It’s at the heart of what God is like. We find it very tough to do. But in this teaching, Jesus demands that ...read more

  • Acknowledging God In The Harvest Festival

    Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Oct 5, 2024
     | 2,806 views

    Why MUST we celebrate harvest? What should we thank God for? When and how should we mark it. And what did David think about it?

    Today is our harvest festival. It’s the time of year when we formally thank God for the harvest. I’d like to tell you a couple of little stories as a lead in to the subject of thanking God. The first story is about Christmas when I was a child. A pile of presents would build up under the ...read more

  • David The King Series

    Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Oct 19, 2024
     | 455 views

    We look at David as king. We see that the foundational qualities he needed were justice and righteousness - and he showed them. And we see in David as king a foreshadowing of what Jesus will be like when he fully takes up his rule.

    INTRODUCTION We’re in a series titled ‘Learning from David.’ Today’s talk is on David the king. I think today’s talk is the most important talk in this series. That might seem surprising to you. We’ve had ‘David: man of prayer.’ We all hopefully pray. We can relate to that. We’ve had David ...read more

  • David The Judge: Justice In A Messy World Series

    Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Oct 28, 2024
     | 319 views

    Many people see David as a failure as a judge. But the world of David's time was a messy place. There were reasons why David couldn't do all that he would have liked to do or, we might think, should have done. The Bible doesn't see David as a failure as a judge.

    We’re coming towards the end of our series, ‘Learning from David’. Last week, we looked at David the king. We saw that in the Bible, the foundation of God’s throne is righteousness and justice. I suggested that if righteousness and justice are the foundation of GOD’S throne – the key ...read more

  • Jesus The Bridegroom

    Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Nov 9, 2024
     | 572 views

    We don't talk enough about Jesus the bridegroom. It's one of Jesus' most wonderful titles. It helps us to understand who he is, the kind of relationship he wants with us, and who we are.

    Some of us have been Christians for a long time and we’ve heard that Jesus is sometimes called the bridegroom. But perhaps some of us have never heard this title of Jesus. I don’t think churches talk about it often enough. It’s one of the most important and wonderful titles of Jesus. When we ...read more

  • Remembrance Sunday - What We Should Remember

    Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Nov 9, 2024
     | 276 views

    On Remembrance Sunday let's remember, first, that there are things to SACRIFICE for. Second, that there are things to FIGHT for. And third, that there are things to HOPE for.

    INTRODUCTION EARLIER IN THE SERVICE Today is Remembrance Sunday. It’s a time for remembering. In Britain, I think we’re good at remembering the people in the armed forces who gave their lives in conflicts over the past century or so. Yesterday, the Royal British Legion held Festivals of ...read more

  • David: Zealot For God's House Series

    Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Nov 16, 2024
     | 642 views

    David and Jesus were both zealots for God's house. What did that look like in practice for David? And are WE willing to be zealots for God's house?

    INTRODUCTION Earlier in today’s service I showed the video, ‘David the worshipper’ [Angel Studios]. I’ve really liked all the videos in this series but I especially liked this one. Young David in the video loves to sing praise to God! He’s joyful, exuberant! His joy and exuberance are ...read more

  • Philemon

    Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Nov 22, 2024
     | 867 views

    Paul's letter to Philemon is short but it has some wonderful lessons for us, especially about how we address something that's wrong.

    I’d like you to imagine a scene. It’s about 60 A.D. We’re in the home of a wealthy man named Philemon. Philemon lives in the city of Colossae, in the south-east of what is now Turkey. Some time back, he met the apostle Paul and became a Christian, and he’s now one of the leaders of a church. ...read more

  • Isaiah's Vision Of Jesus' Coming

    Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Dec 6, 2024
     | 486 views

    At Christmas, Christians often look forward to Jesus' second coming. Isaiah's vision relates both to Jesus' first and second comings. He tells us one thing about Jesus (an example for us); one thing Jesus does (a warning to us); and one result (an encouragement for us).

    INTRODUCTION How optimistic are you about the future? For a number of years, a market research company, IPSOS, has been doing a survey at the start of the year. One of the questions they ask is whether people expect the coming year to be better for them than the previous year. In Britain, about ...read more

  • Cut Out The Light Pollution!

    Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Dec 7, 2024
     | 348 views

    At Christmas, Christians need to cut out the light pollution - the many things which can prevent us from focusing on the Light of the World.

    INTRODUCTION WHILE THE CHILDREN ARE WITH US: ‘HOW THE GRINCH STOLE CHRISTMAS!’ Somewhere around about the beginning of 1957, Dr Seuss started to write the story, ‘How the Grinch Stole Christmas!’ It was published later that year. That was almost 70 years ago! Today, ‘How the Grinch Stole ...read more

  • Why David Is So Important Series

    Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Aug 18, 2024
     | 910 views

    David is a hugely important figure in the Bible. But if we're going to learn from him we need to have an understanding of why he is so important.

    Part 1: Is David important? Over the next few months, we’re going to have eight studies on David, the shepherd who became king. We could easily give David much more time than that – he’s such an important person in the Bible, but we can’t fit in more than eight studies between now and December ...read more

  • The Good Shepherd Series

    Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Aug 18, 2024
     | 957 views

    Jesus said 'I am the Good Shepherd.' This is one of Jesus' most famous descriptions of himself. It gives us a lot of encouragement. But there are some things he calls us to do: follow, listen and flee.

    INTRODUCTION A couple of weeks ago, we started a new series for the afternoon services, looking at WHO JESUS IS. In the Bible, God the Father and Jesus have many titles and descriptions. They tell us something about God the Father or Jesus. When Jesus was crucified, Pilate had a notice prepared ...read more

  • Anointed Fugitive Series

    Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Aug 23, 2024
     | 507 views

    Samuel anointed David. But now, he's a fugitive, holed up in a cave! He isn't happy. But he does exactly the right thing. We can learn from him for the times when we feel everyone has abandoned us, when we're in a dark, damp, smelly metaphorical cave.

    Last week we started a new series looking at David in the Old Testament. I made two very simple points. First, David is a huge figure in the Bible. There is loads about him in the Old Testament. That alone means that David must be really important. But even more significant is the way the New ...read more
