Church from Scratch: The Lord's Supper

We reach the end of our series covering some basic areas of church community life.  We haven't covered every topic on Sunday mornings (e.g. we've been studying the topic of prayer during our mid-week bible studies) but have tried to cover ones that are particularly relevant as we move towards becoming an independent church.

In this final part, we consider a foundational practice of the New Testament church - The Lord's Supper.  What does it mean? And who is it for?

Church From Scratch: The Bible

As we approach the end of our series covering church basics, Roger Davies teaches about the importance that the Word of God has as part of church community life.

Some Words for Monday: Church from Scratch: Leadership

One of the elders from Newtown Evangelical Church, Tim Gill, came to speak about "The Church and Leadership" as part of our series looking at church basics.  In this overview, we consider the role and characteristics of church leaders - those who are referred to as "elders" in the New Testament.

Just Another Melodic Monday: He is our God

I had a great time last week at the Sovereign Grace UK Conference in Christ Church, Mayfair.  As well as some awesome teaching, we sang a couple of their new songs, which unfortunately have yet to make their way to Youtube.  Here, however, is another new song called "He is Our God", which is on the forthcoming live album, "Prayers of the Saints".
