The first in our new 3-week series on apologetics, this week looking at what apologetics is and how we are to do it.

The final sermon in our series on John’s gospel - Andrew Evans speaking on John 21, looking at the implications of John’s gospel on the life of believers.

Here’s the sermon from June 22nd, Andrew Evans speaking on John 20 at our guest service at the end of Word in One City.

Due to works on the water mains at Arch Bishop Blanch we will be meeting this Sunday morning at the Contemporary Urban Centre in the building where the church office is located.

Here’s this Sunday’s talk on John 19 by Matt Waldock. Listen and be blessed!

Our other meeting was a prayer and praise meeting so wasn’t recorded. Next week also there will be only one talk, as we finish off Word in One City with an afternoon barbeque and no evening meeting. The Living Room meetings begin again on June 29th.

To keep you bang up-to-date with what’s planned for Word in One City next week, we’re happy to post the latest version of the Word in One City timetable. All the previous blog entry links link to this current timetable too.

Another last in the series - here, Steve Palframan uses all the Bible handling tools from our previous sessions, providing a worked example of a talk from Matthew 6.

The Training Field meetings are over for this year, but we continue to meet over the summer for our Living Room meetings, Prayer and Praise meetings, and for food together.

In the final part of our series on Christians at work, Chris Gregory looks at how we witness to the gospel to our superiors, peers and juniors, looking at, among other passages, Romans 13 and Luke 16.

The batteries in our sermon recorder ran out halfway through, so this comes in two halves!

Who killed Jesus? The Jews? Pilate?

Ken Cowen takes us through Jesus’ trial, asking who killed Jesus, and why this is relevant to us.
