Sermon Themes for the autumn:

• The Messiah (Advent 2024) 
  On Sunday mornings during Advent we will be thinking about how the Old Testament points us to the Messiah. The Bible contains several passages in Isaiah and Malachi that are interpreted as foretelling the coming of the Messiah or Messianic age. We will be looking at three passages which point to the coming of Jesus Christ as the fulfilment of Old Testament prophecies...
  
  
• The Glorious Christ (Studies in Hebrews 1-4) 
  On Sundays during the autumn we will start a new series: We the Glorious Christ - Studies in Hebrews 1-4. These chapters reveal the glory of Christ by emphasizing His divine supremacy and unique role in salvation. He is portrayed as superior to angels and greater than Moses, being the exact representation of God's glory and the Son over God's house...
  
  
• When Jesus Meets the World (Understanding the impact of Jesus's ministry) 
  On Sunday evenings during the autumn we will study the impact of Jesus's ministry: In the New Testament narrative we will see how Jesus interacts with different individuals, breaking societal, religious, and cultural boundaries. Whether it's the surprising outsider, the religious enquirer, or the devoted disciple...
  
  
• We are Family (Learning to be the People of God) 
  On Sunday morning and evenings during September we will start a new six-part series: We are Family - Learning to be the People of God. The idea of the Church as a family is deeply rooted in Scripture. In the New Testament, Christians are often referred to as brothers and sisters in Christ...
  
  

Previous Sermon Themes:

• Words of Life (Doctrine of God's Word) 
  On Sunday mornings during the summer months we are looking at the Doctrine of God's Word, which affirms that the Bible is beautiful, inerrant, sufficient, clear, and authoritative. Its literary excellence and profound truth showcase its beauty, while its divine inspiration guarantees its inerrancy. 
  
  
  
• Putting on the life of Christ together (Studies in Colossians 3) 
  

  Colossians 3 emphasizes the new life believers have in Christ, the importance of setting their minds on heavenly things, maintaining unity in the body of Christ, cultivating a spirit of thankfulness, and living out the implications of their faith in their everyday lives, including within their families and communities.

• The Passion of the Christ (Studies in 1 Samuel 1-15) 
  On Sunday mornings during the spring and early summer months we are studying in the Book of 1 Samuel, which emphasizes the importance of obedience to God, faith in His promises, and the consequences of both righteousness and sin. It also highlights God's sovereignty over human affairs and His faithfulness to His people.
  
  
• The Passion of the Christ (Studies in John 18-21) 
  We continue our studies in the gospel of John, this spring looking at chapters 18-21. The theme of these chapters revolves around the culmination of Jesus' earthly ministry, including his arrest, trial, crucifixion, resurrection, and post-resurrection appearances.
  
  
  
• Three questions Jesus asks (Studies in Matthew 6-7) 
  In Matthew 6-7, Jesus asks three significant questions.  These questions invite introspection, challenge assumptions, and point towards deeper spiritual truths.  Do join with us on Sunday evenings from 25th February to 10th March.
  
  
  
• The Greatest Prayer (Studies in John 17) 
  We continue our studies in the gospel of John, this winter and spring looking at chapter 17. The account covers when Jesus offered one of the greatest of all recorded prayers in behalf of his apostles and disciples. We will do well to feast often upon the words in this chapter.  Do join us or catch up on the recordings as we begin feasting.
  
  
• Equip Sunday Seminars (Training for life)
  A four-week seminar series run as part of our vision to equip God's people at Highfields. They will take place in-person on Sundays from January 21st to February 11th.

• Christmas According to Isaiah (Isaiah 7, 9 & 11)
  

  The book of Isaiah in the Old Testament contains several prophecies that are often associated with the Christmas story. While Isaiah does not explicitly mention the birth of Jesus or the events surrounding Christmas, many Christians interpret certain passages as prophetic references to the coming of the Messiah, whose birth is celebrated at Christmas.

• The Upper Room School of Discipleship (Studies in John 13-17)
  

  The account in John 13-17 covers what takes place in the upper chamber of a disciple's home after the Last Supper. These chapters record the words and acts of Jesus as he prepared his disciples for His betrayal and Crucifixion. He performed the washing of his disciples' feet. He named Judas as His betrayer...

• Anthems for a Dying Lamb (Psalm 113-118)
  

  Often called the Hallel, Psalms 113 to 117 were part of the Passover seder, which directed proceedings during the Passover meal. That's one reason the Hallel became known as the 'hymn' that Jesus sang with his disciples at the Last Supper, and why it is often part of communion services when the church celebrates the Lord's Supper.

• Jesus' Be Attitudes (Studies in Matthew 5:1-12)
  

  The Beatitudes in Matthew 5:1-10 have been recognised as Jesus' most concise teaching on what it means to be a Christian since the early church. Together we will be learning what it means to be a follower of Jesus and why following Jesus turns the world upside down.

• Making Sense of Life (May and June 2023)
  

  We live in a day which seems fractured.  Big questions face all of us, yet the answers seem either too small or  too weak.  During May and June on Sunday evenings we are going to be wrestling with some of the questions which make life, life.
  
  

• Gospel Growth (April 2023)
  

  Jesus' famous 'Parable of the Sower' assures us that the kingdom of God grows as the word of God is sown. Sometimes that gospel growth is hidden from view (like a seed buried in the ground for months on end). But sooner or later, the fruit of gospel growth starts to be seen.
  
  

• Easter (Easter 2023)
  

  The first Easter began with friends living in terror. An innocent young life was cruelly snatched away in its prime. A contagion of fear was sweeping the community. Shut away behind closed doors, everyone was wondering, first it was Jesus; who would be next?
  
  

• Life in His name (Studies in John 11-12)
  

  As we approach Easter, we will begin to look at the final major block of John, chapters 11-21, that will teach us about the life that comes by believing in his name. These chapters can themselves be broken into three sections.

• Gospel thinking for gospel living (Studies in Titus)
  

  The letter to Titus is a letter from Paul to a young pastor, urging him to lead his people deeper into the gospel. Paul is concerned about the corrupting influence of false teachers in Crete, and this concern frames the letter. He shows that the gospel presents a fundamentally different approach toward God than the false teachers do, one based on ...

• Assurance in uncertain times (Studies in 1 John)
  

  This is a letter written in the first-century to a group of people living in uncertain times. Given the current climate we find ourselves in it becomes a relevant and fresh voice for us. Through the Letter of 1 John, any lack of assurance we may have is overcome by the love God has for us, and in turn, our love for others.  

• God's relentless love (Studies in Jonah)
  

  For many of us, the story of Jonah is a familiar one that we've heard since childhood. Yet it's a story that still captures our imagination and teaches us powerful truths about God and humanity. Through Jonah's story, God shares a strong word of caution for his people. But he also reveals himself as a God of second chances...
