Written Bible reflections
Sermons and Bible reflections
Short pieces rooted in the Bible, to help you know God better and live out your faith every day. Read them slowly, reflect on the verses, and share them with the people you love.
Before you begin
What will you find on this page?
The pieces here are written reflections, not recordings of sermons from our meeting. Each reflection takes a single theme from the life of faith, such as hope, prayer, grace or forgiveness, explores it through Bible passages, and closes with a practical application and a short prayer.
We encourage you to have your Bible open as you read, and to read the verses in their context. If you are looking for a sermon you heard at our meeting, or you have a question about any of these topics, do get in touch – we would be glad to help.
