Series: Samuel

Teacher: Joe Sutton

Sunday Morning

Date: 1st February 2026

Passage: 2 Samuel 12:24-13:39

-------------------

In today's study we consider the contrast of God's true love with the false, fake or weak love of Amnon, David and Absalom. The love of God is bound up in His provision of discipline, by which we know we are His sons and daughters.

Matthew 26:57-68

Sunday Morning

Date: 25th January 2026

Passage: Matthew 26:57-68

-------------------

Today we continue our study through Matthew 26, looking at the sham trial of Jesus before Caiaphas the high priest. What did Jesus really say, and what is the Old Testament foundation upon which He speaks? Today's study takes us to Psalm 110 and Daniel 7 to fully appreciate what Jesus says, and why it provokes such a response from the high priest!

Series: Matthew

Teacher: Ray Kelly

Sunday Morning

Date: 18th January 2026

Passage: Matthew 26:47-56

-------------------

Today we start to look at the betrayal of Jesus. We consider several aspects of the events that follow that were totally illegal as far as the Jewish law was concerned, and the fact that they happened in fulfilment of many dozens of specific prophesies in the scriptures.

Early in the sermon, the colourful image on this page is mentioned.

Passages:

• Matthew 26:36-46
• John 17:1-20

-------------------

As we continue to look at Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane, we review the High Priestly Prayer from John 17, looking at what was on our Lord's heart in the garden. We consider what we can learn from His prayer, and what we ourselves can similarly pray.

Sunday Morning

Date: 4th January 2026

Passage: Matthew 26:36-46

-------------------

Today's message looks at the suffering of Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane, which is the first place that Jesus' blood was shed. With reference to the tola worm presented in Psalm 22 and in Isaiah 1, we consider the amazing picture of the Cross that God has placed within nature and used hundreds of years before Christ came to prophesy about what Jesus would come to do.

Christmas 2025 - The Magnificat

Teacher: Joe Sutton

Sunday Morning

Date: 21st December 2025

Passage: Luke 1:46-55

-------------------

In today's seasonal message, we briefly talk through the introduction to Luke's gospel before focusing on The Magnificat. We see how Mary draws from two of the Psalms to frame what is happening to her in terms of God's covenant with Israel. As we do, we ponder the significance of the fact she speaks in the past tense of future things, and are challenged about what a "blessed" or "favoured" life really looks like.

Series: Matthew

Teacher: Ray Kelly

Sunday Morning

Date: 14th December 2025

Passage: Matthew 26:1-35

-------------------

Today we begin Matthew 26, contrasting the sins of Judas and Peter. Both sinned against the Lord in very serious ways, but Peter's heart was repentant. We also consider the anointing of Jesus and the value of blessing Him with what we have.
