Jubilee Church Teesside

Soroush Sadeghzadeh, 29/04/2018. Under normal circumstances, opposition from authorities may lead to surrender, However, in the case of the early church, it lead to growth of the church and spread of the Gospel. Just as the authorities were trying to silence the apostles (sometimes resorting to violence), it becomes clear that no door can be closed to God.

Raj Saha, 22/04/2018. In the midst of great breakthrough, growth and the miraculous spreading of the Christian faith, we come to a point in Acts where there is ‘a complaint'! The apostles and the disciples had to handle the reality of real people forming family and community together - a setting for conflict, grumbles and disagreement!

Gavin Rodgers, 15/04/2018. As we celebrate new babies in Jubilee at our dedication service Gavin unpacks one of the most famous stories in the bible and how, like Zacchaeus we all have a decision to make. Are you going to climb the tree to get a better glimpse of Jesus or will you blend in to the crowd?

Simon Rogalski, 08/04/2018. Following the day of Pentecost, as 3000 people were added to those who were following the Lord, a new community was beginning to form which was centred around Jesus, motivated by love and united in it's purpose.

Raj Saha, 01/04/2018. This is the story of Easter! This is the power that is changing the world!

Jeremy Simpkins, 18/03/2018. The word revival is back on the lips again of people in Newfrontiers and beyond! There's a deep sense of faith, a call to prayer and a longing that God's compassion and power is released in the land. Our prayer meetings and preaching are lining up with the expectations that God is going to move again with power across this nation.

Simon Rogalski, 11/03/2018. Luke was keen to ensure that those reading his account of the early church knew that Jesus' healing power did not end when he was taken to heaven. From the healing of the man outside the temple, we see that Peter and John are motivated by compassion, have their faith in Jesus and declare his advancing kingdom!

Gavin Rodgers, 25/02/2018. As we begin our Newest sermon series Gavin introduces the book of Acts to us, who was the author? Why did he write it? And who was his intended audience? - Gavin also introduces the Theme of ‘Spirit Break Out' how does the Holy Spirit effect our lives and what is our response to being baptised in the spirit?'

Neville Kelvey-Brown, Miriam Maude, 18/02/2018. In the Gospels and Acts more ‘action' takes place in the marketplace (workplace) than anywhere else. Your workplace is your calling from God. How does your work fit into God's provision for humanity and how can you honour Jesus in your working day?

Andy Colclough, 11/02/2018. In Romans, Paul exhorts the church that 'in view of God's mercy, to offer [their] bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God'. He described this as their 'true and proper worship'. Worshipping God is a huge theme in the bible and a foundational aspect of our Christian Walk. But what is the bible big view of extravagant worship? What does a life of worship look like? How does it change our life? How does it declare the Gospel of grace? Check out Andy Colclough, worship leader at Jubilee Church Teesside, as he unpacks this fundamental privilege!

Phil Hillsdon, Sally Hillsdon, 04/02/2018. Phil & Sally Hillsdon from King's Church Darlington, join us this morning, to share about living faithfully in every season of life. The apostle Paul encourages the readers of Hebrews to 'run with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus...'

Raj Saha, 28/01/2018. In a world of depression, anxiety, stress and burnout never has Gods grace gift of Sabbath Rest been more welcome. How is this ancient practice relevant today? Is it really practical? What does Jesus say about it as he applies it to his New Covenant context? How does it relate to God's mission and the church?

Gavin Rodgers, Hayley Rodgers, 21/01/2018. As Christians how should we tackle Godly dating in a secular world which encourages the opposite? What are the Characteristics of Godly dating, and how can you thrive as part of a Christian community when you are in a relationship? In this talk, Gavin and Hayley Rodgers unpack this subject area and share some of their experience of dating within the church.

Matthew Maude, 14/01/2018. Friendship is a gift from God - this is never more clear than when viewed from the perspective of scripture. In Jesus' commandment to 'Love your Neighbour', the bar is raised in terms of friendships. In this talk, we look at the value of 'True Friendship' and the sacrifice that it often requires. Fortunately, in Jesus, we find the perfect friend - from that place of security, we can go on the journey together.

Soroush Sadeghzadeh, 07/01/2018. Refugees have been a hot topic in the media for as long as one can remember, however, in recent years, there are more dividing opinions on them than ever. This also includes the Church, and how she responds to the issue of those who have had to leave their home and loved ones behind and seek sanctuary elsewhere. But we're all refugees of something; from persecution for political opinion, religious belief, or ethnicity, to secularism in many Western nations. In this talk, we'll look at the what it means to welcome and care for the sojourners as well as first-hand stories of those who have had to flee their home.

Simon Rogalski, 17/12/2017. 700 years before Jesus was born, Isaiah prophesied that the birth of a child would bring in God's rescue plan for his people. Christmas reminds us that His rescue plan would involve entering our space in the most amazing way.

Raj Saha, 03/12/2017. According to British Medical Journal, death rates are falling in the UK. The more I think about this, surely this isn't right - as far as I'm aware 100% of people still die! With a lot of death all around us, with death approaching us day by day, how does Christianity offer something radical, unique, phenomenal compared all other worldviews and beliefs? How can The Apostle Paul say with full confidence that in the midst of persecution and death, ‘For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain'? How can that be? What does Jesus offer that's so different? Has death, ‘the last enemy', really been beaten once and for all?

Rob Earl, Lou Watts, 19/11/2017. We live in a world where singleness can be viewed very negatively. There is a strong pressure to be in a relationship with a partner. The challenges of singleness can also be great. But the Apostle Paul and Jesus himself lived the single life….a life that Jesus described as 'Life to the Full'! How are we to encourage each other in the church and address all the benefits and all the challenges that go with being single? How does God's family step up to the mark of biblical teaching? How can single men and women lead a life of purpose against the cultural tide of the times? Rob Earl and Lou Watts today unpack some of these issues from personal experience and a biblical viewpoint.

Soroush Sadeghzadeh, 12/11/2017. As we celebrate our gift day, we look at Jesus words to His sheep upon His second coming. In this talk, we take a closer look at what Jesus meant by saying "Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me.” (v40) within the context of pastoral care.

Raj Saha, 05/11/2017. p.p1 {margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Helvetica} In this amazing encounter with Jesus and a woman living out her normal day, collecting water from the Jacobs Well, her whole life is turned around. This ordinary day becomes an extraordinary one - A Moment of Grace. Jesus bridges all the cultural, racial, social and religious barriers and reaches out to this outcast lady saying, ‘Can we be friends?'. As we take our gift day collection, Raj Saha unpacks some of the areas that we are going to prioritise this year as we declare Jesus Welcome to All.
