Humans look for fulfillment in their lives to all kinds of things. Psalm 121 reminds us to look to God every day of our lives and not to the strong things we see about us. Abraham was a man of faith and a pilgrim. God calls us to live a similar lifestyle of expectation by being pilgrims in 2025. What we are expecting tomorrow or in the near future will greatly affect us today. May God help us all to look to Him in the ups and downs of life today. May we fully experience God walking with...

Abraham was the patriarch of this family, but lots of women had important roles to play and God was often interacting in their lives. In this Talk we hear about Sarah, Hagar, Keturah and Rebekah. Whilst none of them (like us) always got things correct, God saw them and helped them in their shortcomings. Often we might be the answer to our own prayers - whether we feel we are in the desert or in the land of plenty.

The Christian faith is not just for problem days or times of high excitement - it's for every time in our life. Hebrews 11 tells us that Abraham was a man of faith. His faith would doubtlessly have been explored on every day of his life. May we have an expectation of God that involves receptive hearing and responsive doing. May our response to God's regular prompting be a child-like one, as we relax and rest in God's strength and abilities. The script for the whole Service can be read h...

Sarai and Abram were barren for decades. They had a long wait - even after God had promised them change and transformation. This Talk reminds us that God is still transforming people and situations in the mid-2020s - just like He did in Bible times. Don't cover up your burdens - bring them to Jesus instead. Commit your way and your dreams to Him. What has God promised to do in and through you? May we be expectant to God's promises and beautiful desires for us and for our town. The scrip...

Abraham was much like us - often doing well with God and sometimes doing ridiculous things. He is called a friend and a servant of God. We need God's grace to help us to be obedient to our Lord, as we are fragile and are liable to get things wrong! May God help us to grow up, so that we can become more obedient to His ways and to take appropriate actions in our lives as God pleasers.

What is a Covenant? How are they described in the Bible? What do we need to do under God's terms of His New Covenant? As part of God's family, how do we actively seek to improve the relationships we have with God and with each other? The script for the whole Service can be read here.

Two people from CAP (one from the national office in Bradford and the other from the local branch in Nuneaton) speak about what CAP is doing as it partners with churches across the UK. Many people's lives are being transformed by Jesus. There is a tremendous need in our society for this role of helping others to become debt free and to be befriended. The script for the whole Service can be read here.

How does God's fame influence and shape you? Are your actions and thoughts changed because of it? Habakkuk spoke for God in Judah about 600BC. It was a time of turmoil and unrest. He prayed that God would act again in his time and in his place. He realised that it was only God who could change the situations he faced. Remembering how God has blessed others in the past and in other places is a positive start to encourage us all to pray that God would act in Nuneaton and throughout the UK in th...

We often make decisions from two choices: shall I do this or shall I do that? Jesus said in Matthew 16:24 that we should give up all rights to ourselves if we are to follow Him. Shall we flee from Jesus and the very real demands He makes towards us or shall we meet Jesus at the cross and die to ourselves there? We all have that choice every day of our lives. In this Talk we think about the commands Jesus gives, especially considering how four people in the Bible chose to die to themselv...

Make time each day to read and consider the Bible, asking God to be your Guide. We don't deserve to have a relationship with God, but in His mercy we have. Reading and studying the Bible encourages us and directs us as we walk along with God. We need to take appropriate action as we are prone to not always go the way that God intends for us. It is healthy to measure yourself against what Jesus said and did in the Bible. The script for the whole Service can be read here.

The Bible was inspired by God. We need to put effort and time in to let it change us. It's not just a book to read, but one that can transform and change our lives as we meditate on it and keenly observe what it says. As we read the Bible we become aware of our own smallness, but are strengthened by knowing that God puts His power and strength within us so that we can live abandoned to Him. You can read the Script for the whole Service here.

Where do you go when you want to retreat from everything and everyone? Who do you go to when you wish to be sustained and energised? Go to God! He is the One who will embrace, encourage and lead you onto ways that will give you security and will be a blessing to others. The script for the whole Service can be read here.

Headlights are in-built to our cars. It would be very strange to have to install them ourselves if we were going on a journey that involved darkness. In the same way, the Bible is like headlights to help us not fall in ditches in our lives. It is a very practical Book, but we need to read and study it regularly in order to get the most out of it. Jesus takes away the chains that have been placed on us. He sets us free to live for Him and to selflessly bless others. We are all called to be lig...

The psalmist stated to God in verse 94,, "I am Yours." At different stages of my life I've been my parents', my own and my wife's. God has the greatest authority and influence in my life, so overarching all parts of my life since 1983 (when I was first gave my life to God) I also declare that, "I am Yours, God!" I do this by wanting to spend time with God, by wanting to base my life on His commands and by realising that I am not my own. Like Joshua proclaimed to the Israelites before he...

A lot of people in our community work really hard for things that don't positively impact their eternal destiny. God + nothing else and nobody else = total abundance in life today and for all of eternity. In this Talk we are reminded that God is our sufficiency, our reward, our portion and our inheritance. Just as God was the sufficiency of all the normal people who lived in Bible times, so He can be the full sufficiency of all the normal people who live in 2025 - including you and me. ...

In these three sections of Psalm 119, we see how the Psalmist is passionate for God to act within his life. The writer is keen to obey God, wanting to learn more about the One who continues to inspire and help him. Let us pray that God will help us, by opening our eyes to what He is doing around us and that we will accept His strength and His anointing in our day-to-day lives. The script for the whole Service can be read here.

As we begin a Series of Talks dedicated to the longest Chapter in the Bible, Psalm 119, we remind ourselves of the power and life that the Bible has. God uses the Bible to convict, encourage and liberate us. He has actually breathed into and inspired all of it! The whole Psalm is read by a group of five people from 04:29 to 20:37 and then we discover a little about the form and construction of this particular Psalm before we dwell on the fact that as we read it, meditate on it and study it, s...

In this Talk, we are reminded how indispensable the Bible is in our lives today. People like John Wycliffe and William Tyndale gave their lives to make it easily accessible and understandable for us in the 21st century. However, there are still large numbers of people around the world who do not have a Bible in a language that they understand. The immense work to make this treasure available to everyone in an understandable way continues. You can read the script for the whole Service here.

God is taking action around the world in 2025. His Kingdom of Light is extending and disturbing the status quo. As God raises His banner in Nuneaton and in your life, will you join in the mission that He is leading? Watch what God is doing. Perceive how He is doing something new in the lives of those around you. There are many opportunities to get involved. Let God turn your life upside down and then pray and dream for greater things than you could even imagine. The script for the whole Servi...

We all have relationships with people because everyone interacts with others. Some relationships may be more formal like grandma and grandson etc. We didn't choose our family relationships. However, the Bible states in many places that God has chosen you as His son or daughter. Have you actually chosen Him as your Father or do you mess around with your relationship with God? God encourages us to be 'father-like' to everyone we meet. This necessitates us all wearing love as our basic, all-purp...
