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

Danny concludes our THIS IS CHURCH series looking at the posture of serving.

Steve continues our Series THIS IS CHURCH and looks at "Forming"

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.

This week Aref continues our Destinations Series and looks at Thessaloniki - Thessalonians in biblical time from Acts 17 verses 1-9 and how Jason was a hero for his hospitality and steadfastness in opposition.

This week Caz Alliston continues our Destinations Series and looks at Cyprus Acts 13:4-12

This week Joel Kendall opens our DESTINATIONS -journeying through the book of Acts starting with the church in Antioch, who were born out of being scattered.

Who are you following? God is calling us to follow Him. We live in a world where "Follow Me" is everywhere. Have you stopped to ask who you are following? and where they are taking you? Justin explores this important topic in this weeks message and God himself through Jesus said to us "Follow Me".

This week Aaron closes out our "Soul Sickness" series looking at Anger. We now live in an angry world where anger is prevalent on social media with a war of words being commonplace. Aaron covered how anger can be positive fuel when we have self-control. Proverbs 29:11 "A shortsighted fool always loses his temple and displays his anger, but a wise man uses self-control and holds it back". Also we're open to the enemy's attack if we lack self-control with our anger. Proverbs 25:28 TPT "If you live without restraint and are unable to control your temper, you’re as helpless as a city with broken-down defenses, open to attack."

Sadly our society is moving towards the dilution of guilt. There's little ownership of wrongdoing anymore. Danny this week explains there is a toxicity in hiding our sin - we can't heal if we don't own our mistakes, the times we "miss the mark" and we don't mature as a result in our character or our faith. We look through David's Psalm 51 after he commited adultery with Bathsheba.

Joseph this week continues our series Soul Sickness and looks at ENVY, the poison of comparison. “A heart at peace gives life to the body, but envy rots the bones.” Proverbs 14:30 NIV
