Sunday 15th March 2026 - West SiteSpeaker - Mark Crosby Mark explores some of the exciting stories of encounters of Holy Spirit power which result in lost lives coming to know Jesus._______________John 11 v 17-4517)  On his arrival, Jesus found that Lazarus had already been in the tomb for four days. 18)  Now Bethany was less than two miles from Jerusalem, 19)  and many Jews had come to Martha and Mary to comfort them in the loss of their brother. 20)  When Martha heard that Jesus was coming, she went out to meet him, but Mary stayed at home.21)  ‘Lord,’ Martha said to Jesus, ‘if you had been here, my brother would not have died. 22)  But I know that even now God will give you whatever you ask.’23)  Jesus said to her, ‘Your brother will rise again.’24)  Martha answered, ‘I know he will rise again in the resurrection at the last day.’25)  Jesus said to her, ‘I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die; 26)  and whoever lives by believing in me will never die. Do you believe this?’27)  ‘Yes, Lord,’ she replied, ‘I believe that you are the Messiah, the Son of God, who is to come into the world.’28)  After she had said this, she went back and called her sister Mary aside. ‘The Teacher is here,’ she said, ‘and is asking for you.’ 29)  When Mary heard this, she got up quickly and went to him. 30)  Now Jesus had not yet entered the village, but was still at the place where Martha had met him. 31)  When the Jews who had been with Mary in the house, comforting her, noticed how quickly she got up and went out, they followed her, supposing she was going to the tomb to mourn there.32)  When Mary reached the place where Jesus was and saw him, she fell at his feet and said, ‘Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died.’33)  When Jesus saw her weeping, and the Jews who had come along with her also weeping, he was deeply moved in spirit and troubled. 34)  ‘Where have you laid him?’ he asked.‘Come and see, Lord,’ they replied.35)  Jesus wept.36)  Then the Jews said, ‘See how he loved him!’37)  But some of them said, ‘Could not he who opened the eyes of the blind man have kept this man from dying?’38)  Jesus, once more deeply moved, came to the tomb. It was a cave with a stone laid across the entrance. 39)  ‘Take away the stone,’ he said.‘But, Lord,’ said Martha, the sister of the dead man, ‘by this time there is a bad odour, for he has been there four days.’40)  Then Jesus said, ‘Did I not tell you that if you believe, you will see the glory of God?’41)  So they took away the stone. Then Jesus looked up and said, ‘Father, I thank you that you have heard me. 42)  I knew that you always hear me, but I said this for the benefit of the people standing here, that they may believe that you sent me.’43)  When he had said this, Jesus called in a loud voice, ‘Lazarus, come out!’ 44 ) The dead man came out, his hands and feet wrapped with strips of linen, and a cloth round his face.Jesus said to them, ‘Take off the grave clothes and let him go.’45)  Therefore many of the Jews who had come to visit Mary, and had seen what Jesus did, believed in him._______________Recorded at the West Site - 15Mar2026

Sunday 15th March 2026 - North SiteSpeaker - Iain LattyIain explores the experience of Elijah immediately after his triumph over the prophets of Baal on Mount Carmel. He reminds us that God's loving care for us endures, even when we are tempted to give up._______________1 Kings 19 v 1-151) Now Ahab told Jezebel everything Elijah had done and how he had killed all the prophets with the sword. 2) So Jezebel sent a messenger to Elijah to say, “May the gods deal with me, be it ever so severely, if by this time tomorrow I do not make your life like that of one of them.”3) Elijah was afraid and ran for his life. When he came to Beersheba in Judah, he left his servant there, 4) while he himself went a day’s journey into the wilderness. He came to a broom bush, sat down under it and prayed that he might die. “I have had enough, Lord,” he said. “Take my life; I am no better than my ancestors.” 5) Then he lay down under the bush and fell asleep.All at once an angel touched him and said, “Get up and eat.” 6) He looked around, and there by his head was some bread baked over hot coals, and a jar of water. He ate and drank and then lay down again.7) The angel of the Lord came back a second time and touched him and said, “Get up and eat, for the journey is too much for you.” 8) So he got up and ate and drank. Strengthened by that food, he traveled forty days and forty nights until he reached Horeb, the mountain of God. 9 There he went into a cave and spent the night.And the word of the Lord came to him: “What are you doing here, Elijah?”10) He replied, “I have been very zealous for the Lord God Almighty. The Israelites have rejected your covenant, torn down your altars, and put your prophets to death with the sword. I am the only one left, and now they are trying to kill me too.”11) The Lord said, “Go out and stand on the mountain in the presence of the Lord, for the Lord is about to pass by.”Then a great and powerful wind tore the mountains apart and shattered the rocks before the Lord, but the Lord was not in the wind. After the wind there was an earthquake, but the Lord was not in the earthquake. 12) After the earthquake came a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire. And after the fire came a gentle whisper. 13) When Elijah heard it, he pulled his cloak over his face and went out and stood at the mouth of the cave.Then a voice said to him, “What are you doing here, Elijah?”14) He replied, “I have been very zealous for the Lord God Almighty. The Israelites have rejected your covenant, torn down your altars, and put your prophets to death with the sword. I am the only one left, and now they are trying to kill me too.”15) The Lord said to him, “Go back the way you came, and go to the Desert of Damascus. When you get there, anoint Hazael king over Aram. _______________Recorded at the North Site - 15Mar2026

Sunday 15th February 2026 - Central AM & PMSpeaker - Lydia Harcus-LloydLydia continues our series looking at Paul's second letter to Timothy._______________2 Timothy 3 v 10-1710) You, however, know all about my teaching, my way of life, my purpose, faith, patience, love, endurance, 11) persecutions, sufferings – what kinds of things happened to me in Antioch, Iconium and Lystra, the persecutions I endured. Yet the Lord rescued me from all of them. 12) In fact, everyone who wants to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted, 13) while evildoers and impostors will go from bad to worse, deceiving and being deceived. 14) But as for you, continue in what you have learned and have become convinced of, because you know those from whom you learned it, 15) and how from infancy you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. 16) All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, 17) so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work._______________Recorded at the Central Site (AM) - 15Feb2026

Sunday 1st March 2026 - West and North SitesSpeaker - Gary SmithGary concludes our series looking at Paul's second letter to Timothy, possibly his final letter before his martyrdom._______________2 Timothy 4 v 1-91) In the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who will judge the living and the dead, and in view of his appearing and his kingdom, I give you this charge: 2)  preach the word; be prepared in season and out of season; correct, rebuke and encourage – with great patience and careful instruction. 3)  For the time will come when people will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather round them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear. 4)  They will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths. 5)  But you, keep your head in all situations, endure hardship, do the work of an evangelist, discharge all the duties of your ministry.6)  For I am already being poured out like a drink offering, and the time for my departure is near. 7)  I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. 8 ) Now there is in store for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day – and not only to me, but also to all who have longed for his appearing.9)  Do your best to come to me quickly..._______________Recorded at West Site - 01Mar2026

Sunday 15th February 2026 - West and North SitesSunday 15th February 2026 - Central AM & PMSpeaker - James RankineJames resumes our Keeping the Faith series from Paul's second letter to Timothy, and shares Paul's advice to Timothy to exercise discernment._______________2 Timothy 2 v 14 - 26 & 3 v 1-914)  Keep reminding God’s people of these things. Warn them before God against quarreling about words; it is of no value, and only ruins those who listen. 15)  Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth. 16)  Avoid godless chatter, because those who indulge in it will become more and more ungodly. 17)  Their teaching will spread like gangrene. Among them are Hymenaeus and Philetus, 18)  who have departed from the truth. They say that the resurrection has already taken place, and they destroy the faith of some. 19)  Nevertheless, God’s solid foundation stands firm, sealed with this inscription: “The Lord knows those who are his,” and, “Everyone who confesses the name of the Lord must turn away from wickedness.”20)  In a large house there are articles not only of gold and silver, but also of wood and clay; some are for special purposes and some for common use. 21)  Those who cleanse themselves from the latter will be instruments for special purposes, made holy, useful to the Master and prepared to do any good work.22)  Flee the evil desires of youth and pursue righteousness, faith, love and peace, along with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart. 23)  Don’t have anything to do with foolish and stupid arguments, because you know they produce quarrels. 24)  And the Lord’s servant must not be quarrelsome but must be kind to everyone, able to teach, not resentful. 25)  Opponents must be gently instructed, in the hope that God will grant them repentance leading them to a knowledge of the truth, 26)  and that they will come to their senses and escape from the trap of the devil, who has taken them captive to do his will.Chapter 31) But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days. 2)  People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, 3)  without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, 4)  treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God— 5)  having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with such people.6)  They are the kind who worm their way into homes and gain control over gullible women, who are loaded down with sins and are swayed by all kinds of evil desires, 7)  always learning but never able to come to a knowledge of the truth. 8)  Just as Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, so also these teachers oppose the truth. They are men of depraved minds, who, as far as the faith is concerned, are rejected. 9)  But they will not get very far because, as in the case of those men, their folly will be clear to everyone._______________Recorded at North site - 15Feb2026

Sunday 1st February 2026 - Central AM & PMSunday 8th February 2026 - West and North SitesSpeaker - Alice MeadsAlice reflects on the journey we as a church have followed over the last year since launching our vision to Renew the Nation. She calls on us to remember - where we were when we started, and key stages of our journey - sharing stories of those buckets drawn from the well of salvation._______________Isaiah 12 v 3-63)  With joy you will draw water    from the wells of salvation.4)  In that day you will say:‘Give praise to the Lord, proclaim his name;    make known among the nations what he has done,    and proclaim that his name is exalted.5)  Sing to the Lord, for he has done glorious things;    let this be known to all the world.6)  Shout aloud and sing for joy, people of Zion,    for great is the Holy One of Israel among you.’_______________Recorded at the North Site - 08Feb2026

Sunday 1st February 2026 - West and North sitesSunday 8th February 2026 - Central AM & PMSpeaker - James RankineJames provides us with a review of the Renew the Nation vision which was shared with us over several weeks during 2025. He reminds us that the vision was to emulate the early church at Antioch, and tells us where we are now and outlines the plans which we expect to unfold over the coming months._______________Acts 10 v 23-4623) The next day Peter started out with them, and some of the believers from Joppa went along. 24)  The following day he arrived in Caesarea. Cornelius was expecting them and had called together his relatives and close friends. 25)  As Peter entered the house, Cornelius met him and fell at his feet in reverence. 26)  But Peter made him get up. ‘Stand up,’ he said, ‘I am only a man myself.’27)  While talking with him, Peter went inside and found a large gathering of people. 28)  He said to them: ‘You are well aware that it is against our law for a Jew to associate with or visit a Gentile. But God has shown me that I should not call anyone impure or unclean. 29)  So when I was sent for, I came without raising any objection. May I ask why you sent for me?’30)  Cornelius answered: ‘Three days ago I was in my house praying at this hour, at three in the afternoon. Suddenly a man in shining clothes stood before me 31)  and said, “Cornelius, God has heard your prayer and remembered your gifts to the poor. 32)  Send to Joppa for Simon who is called Peter. He is a guest in the home of Simon the tanner, who lives by the sea.” 33)  So I sent for you immediately, and it was good of you to come. Now we are all here in the presence of God to listen to everything the Lord has commanded you to tell us.’34)  Then Peter began to speak: ‘I now realise how true it is that God does not show favouritism 35)  but accepts from every nation the one who fears him and does what is right. 36)  You know the message God sent to the people of Israel, announcing the good news of peace through Jesus Christ, who is Lord of all. 37)  You know what has happened throughout the province of Judea, beginning in Galilee after the baptism that John preached – 38)  how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and power, and how he went around doing good and healing all who were under the power of the devil, because God was with him.39)  ‘We are witnesses of everything he did in the country of the Jews and in Jerusalem. They killed him by hanging him on a cross, 40)  but God raised him from the dead on the third day and caused him to be seen. 41)  He was not seen by all the people, but by witnesses whom God had already chosen – by us who ate and drank with him after he rose from the dead. 42)  He commanded us to preach to the people and to testify that he is the one whom God appointed as judge of the living and the dead. 43)  All the prophets testify about him that everyone who believes in him receives forgiveness of sins through his name.’44)  While Peter was still speaking these words, the Holy Spirit came on all who heard the message. 45)  The circumcised believers who had come with Peter were astonished that the gift of the Holy Spirit had been poured out even on Gentiles. 46)  For they heard them speaking in tongues and praising God._______________Recorded at West Site - 01Feb2026
