Seeking and taking opportunities to share the Gospel message is not always easy. Paul's speech in the Athens teaches us the importance of understanding cultures well in order so that we are able to share the Gospel more effectively

In our service of admission to communion, Dave talked to us about the new life we have in Jesus. Everything that had become broken or confused can be made new and sorted out, so that we can take part in the work God has for us.

In the business of preparing for Christmas, we can lose sight of the story of the birth of Jesus. But Dave argues that in focusing too heavily on the details of that birth we can lose sight of what really happened at Christmas: God became a human. In this passage from John's gospel, we see just how radical that is, and what implications it should have for us.

Using a passage from John, Dave challenges us about the nature of church as a body that should serve. We should be serving one another diligently, but also serving the local community around us, just as Jesus served his friends and the world, even the one who had betrayed him. If our church disappeared, would we be missed?

In the talk from the youth-led service at Ignite, Dave speaks about the two kingdoms that are at war in the world. There is the kingdom of darkness in rebellion against God, and God's own kingdom, started by his Son Jesus, very real today, and to be completed at his return, when the battle will be over and there will be no more struggle.

Dave explores why work like the work going on in Uganda is not only important, but is at the core of the Christian faith and should be at the heart of what we do as a church.

In this passage, Jesus claims to be the only right way to enter God's kingdom. He is where we enter, and also shows us how we enter. By comparing him with the false shepherds and false gates - who just want to fleece the sheep - we start to get an idea of what kingdom life might look like as individuals and as God's church.

Matthew's Gospel starts in a slightly peculiar way - a great long list of names of the people in Jesus' family line. In it, we find four women, each of them unusual to be found in such a list. None of them is impressive, and all were flawed in some way. So why are they included in the list...?

Do-gooders. Bible-bashers. Holier than thou. These are some of the attitudes Christians are sadly all too famous for. In this passage, Jesus meets a man who has embodied these things for a little too long, and challenges him. It's not about trying hard and then thinking we are perfect - it's much more radical than that.

Nicodemus thought he understood it all - he thought so long as he knew what the Bible and its laws said, and managed to live them out in his own strength, then God would be please with him. But in an encounter with Jesus he was exposed to the radical message of the gospel, which offers new life from God and life-changing transformation.

Planning your Visit

A Warm Hello 

The following information is specifically for those planning a visit, so that you know, beforehand, what to expect on a Sunday morning.

Where and When

We meet at BP Church for our Sunday Services starting at 9am, 11am or 6pm. When you arrive, you should be greeted by someone on our Welcome Team who will be wearing a Welcome lanyard.

We serve tea, coffee and biscuits before the services begin. It is a great way to meet people, or simply take time to find your bearings. All refreshments are free.

Check out Connect Groups and see if there’s one that you could join, or we can put you in touch with a small group leader who will be more than happy to invite you along to their group.
