Justin wraps up our series Stretch on Isaiah 54

Danny takes us through Isaiah 54, focusing on "FEAR NOT, you will not be ashamed". Shame is a very powerful, destructive emotion (different from guilt). Shame makes us feel like "I am a failure", but God is saying through Isaiah we do not have to live in shame; it's been removed. We no longer need to live with the restrictions of fear. God addresses the things we're ashamed of from our youth. When God speaks of expansion, change and moving on our reflex can be fearful but we don't need to live like that in a new season.

Steve takes us through our new series called STRETCH from Isaiah 54. Important verses to remind ourselves of our God of hope and his promises.

This week Danny continues our Vintage Faith series and looks at what the bible says about marriage.

This week Steve takes us through the role of Deacons in the church

Danny takes us through Galatians 1:6-7 and being very clear on the true gospel message so we don't fall for "a different gospel" a different way that pretends to be the good news but in fact is not the good news at all. The gospel is not self help. It is not good advice it is news of that kind of stunning substitutionary and costly exchange that Jesus made for us.

This week Justin takes us through God's eternal plan of redemption. Key Scripture is Ephesians 1:4-6 and Justin points out the sheer beauty of redemption - how we didn't deserve it and it doesn't rest on our shaky fluctuating performance and the thread of redemption is throughout the bible.

This Sunday Steve celebrates the joy of giving on our Harvest Sunday. ‘ I always pray with joy because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now’ Philippians 1:4-5

This week Danny takes us through Romans 7:17-23 and looks at the reality of all of us having a fallen sinful nature - not a popular truth in today's culture but a timeless truth to be understood to then understand the freedom from sin we can enjoy in Christ Jesus and following instead the leadings of the Holy Spirit.

Danny kicks off part one of VINTAGE FAITH our new series on timeless truths

THIS IS CHURCH - Prayer by Crawley Community Church

This Sunday Matthews from Kenya on our "Celebrating the Nations" Sunday closes out our Destinations series looking at Paul's trip to Rome in Acts 27 and the shipwreck

This week Alex takes us to Malta in Acts 28 verses 1-11. Paul never intended to go to Malta but God used it for His purposes. Alex made some powerful points from this passage. ONE: Your plans might change, but God's purpose doesn't (and he'll use the detours for His good purpose). Where you are even if its NOT where you planned to be is where God can use you to be a blessing. Paul was a blessing on Malta. He went and healed Publius father. TWO: GOD placed you here (in this church, in this nation, in the situation you are facing into right now). Clinging to control is trying to trust ourselves instead of trusting God. We need to cling to God instead.

This week Ben Stevens our Youth pastor takes us through Acts 17: 16-27 with Paul in Athens - a city full of idol worship and an altar to "an unknown God". He explains this unknown God to them in a way they would understand, like Youth understand ice cream. Ben explained when we explain the truths of the Gospel - some want to hear more some will laugh, some will walk away.

This week Danny continues our new series DESTINATIONS from Acts 18:1-11, Paul was not scared to confront and shake out his garments and move on. THE CHURCH WHO FEARS MAN...WILL ALWAYS COMPROMISE, THE CHURCH WHO FEARS GOD, WILL ALWAYS CONFRONT.
